When I read about Pete Seeger's passing, I was suprised to learn If I Had A Hammer was one of his songs; I thought it was Trini Lopez's who had his first hit single with it in 1963---and happy to learn he is still around recording at 76.

I didn't realise he was that old, looking on IMDB he's only just finished another film. He won an Oscar in 1962 for Judgement at Nuremburg.

Also Arthur Rankin, Jr.  Part of the Rankn/Bass producers of many annimation greats. 

Rankin Bass produced The Hobbit in annimation back in 1977. My boys still love to watch this, even though they are in their 20's.

Most others will remember such great as 'Rudolpf the Red Nosed Reindeer'.
