Timeline
Fred Hellerman (May 13, 1927 – September 1, 2016) was an American folk singer, guitarist, producer, and songwriter.
Born on May 13, 1927, in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents, Hellerman was the youngest of three children.
His father, Harry, was an immigrant from Riga, Latvia and mother, Clara (née Robinson), was born in the United States to immigrants from Riga.
Because of his involvement with left-wing groups during the 1930s and 1940s, Hellerman came under suspicion of Communist sympathies during the McCarthy era.
Hellerman wrote and co-wrote some of their hits.
He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949 at Brooklyn College.
In 1950, Hellerman was named, along with the rest of the Weavers, in the anti-communist tract Red Channels and was placed on the industry blacklist.
In February 1952, an FBI informant testified that the Weavers were members of the Communist party.
The group, unable to perform on television, radio, or in most music halls, broke up in 1952, but resumed singing in 1955.
Hellermen, writing under the name of Fred Brooks, arranged "Green Grow the Lilacs" on Harry Belafonte's 1959 album, Love is a Gentle Thing.
He also played on Joan Baez's eponymous first album in 1960.
They continued together until 1963 (with changes in personnel).
He produced the record album Alice's Restaurant (1967) for Arlo Guthrie, played accompaniment guitar on scores of folk albums, and wrote a number of folk and protest songs.
Hellerman married the writer Susan Lardner, the daughter of John Lardner, in 1970.
The Hellermans had two children, Caleb and Simeon, and three grandchildren.
Hellerman was the last surviving original member of the Weavers.
The Weavers held several reunion concerts in 1980, shortly before Hays' death, which were documented in the film The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time! (1982).
He died on September 1, 2016, at his home in Weston, Connecticut, at the age of 89.
The song was based on a traditional song of Irish origin that was widely sung in the US in the 19th century with different lyrics.
Hellerman wrote two original verses and adapted the chorus.
