T is for Turn, Turn, Turn

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) was written by Pete Seeger, with lyrics taken from the book of Ecclesiastes (3:1-8). The words were rearranged and paired with Seeger's music to make the song. Seeger included a live version on his 1962 album 'The Bitter And The Sweet' with just voice and guitar.

The Byrds topped the charts with it in 1965 with their version, released as the follow-up to 'Mr Tambourine Man'. The plea for peace and tolerance struck a chord with the American public as the Vietnam War escalated at the time.
