Tony Saletan
Tony Saletan is an American folk singer and educator, who is responsible for the modern rediscovery of two of the genre's best-known songs, ''Michael Row the Boat Ashore'' and ''Kumbaya.'' Born and raised in New York City, he attended the Walden School and received his bachelors and masters degrees from Harvard University.〔 For a brief period during his childhood, Saletan's piano teacher was a young Leonard Bernstein.〔〔Burton,Humphrey (1994). Leonard Bernstein. New York: Doubleday, p. 108〕 He was involved as a teen in the Henry Wallace presidential campaign of 1948, in which original music in the folk style was important.〔 Saletan settled in the Boston area, where for several years he appeared on educational television (WGBH),〔 taught music in the Newton, Massachusetts public schools〔 and gave private guitar lessons. He also became involved in folk dancing and calling of contra dances. Saletan has often taught at (Pinewoods Camp ), in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Later in life, Saletan moved to Tacoma, Washington.

(詳細はWidener Library of Harvard University for material to teach the Villagers that summer. He adapted the song ''Michael Row the Boat Ashore'' from the 1867 songbook ''Slave Songs of the United States'' to create the version that's well-known today. "I judged that the tune was very singable, added some harmony (a guitar accompaniment) and thought the one-word chorus would be an easy hit with the teens (it was). But a typical original verse consisted of one line repeated once, and I thought a rhyme would be more interesting to the teenagers at Shaker Village Work Camp, where I introduced it. So I adapted traditional African-American couplets in place of the original verses."〔
That summer, Saletan taught ''Michael Row the Boat Ashore'' to Pete Seeger, who later sang it with the Weavers,〔〔〔 one of the most important singing groups leading the American folk music revival of the 1950s to mid-1960s.〔 Saletan's adaptation was included in the Village's 1956 songbook, ''Songs of Work.''〔 A single based on Saletan's version was released in 1960 by the American folk quintet the Highwaymen under the abbreviated title, ''Michael'',〔 and reached #1 on the U.S. and British hit parades in September 1961.〔("The Highwaymen: Biography" ), AllMusic.〕 Joe Hickerson, co-founder of the Folksmiths, credits Saletan for introducing him to the song ''Kumbaya'' in 1957 (Saletan had learned it from Lynn Rohrbough, co-proprietor with his wife Katherine of the camp songbook publisher Cooperative Recreation Service).〔〔〔 The first LP recording of ''Kumbaya'' was released in 1958 by the Folksmiths.〔 Folksinger Peggy Seeger was also taught several songs by Saletan, which she later recorded.〔
