He's been a member of The Weavers, worked with Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, and was even an activist for racial equality during the civil rights movement of the 20th century.

Fortunately, he left behind a lot of great music for us to listen to, so here's one of the more memorable ones, "We Shall Overcome."

Got any favorite songs about a cause?
