比特‧西格 (Pete Seeger) 出生於191953

你可能知道披頭四 (Beatles) 、至上合唱團 (Supremes) 、滾石 (Rolling Stones) 、麥克‧傑克森 (Michael Jackson) ,以及史密斯飛船 (Aerosmith) 等列名在搖滾樂名人堂 (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) 的團體。但是你可能從來沒有聽過比特‧西格。儘管如此,西格的重要性並不亞於這些搖滾團體。比特‧西格是美國最偉大的民歌手與作曲家之一。民歌的旋律通常相當簡單,同時也常用吉他伴奏。你能說出現在有哪些民歌手嗎?你覺得珠兒 (Jewel) 或崔西‧查普曼 (Tracy Chapman) 是不是民歌手呢?


You probably know that the Beatles, Supremes, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson and Aerosmith, among many others, are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You may never have heard of Pete Seeger, but he is no less an important member. Pete Seeger is one of America's greatest folk singers and composers. Folk songs are usually simple in melody and are often played on acoustic guitar. Can you name any folk singers of today? How about Jewel or Tracy Chapman?
