Woody Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) was a singer, songwriter, and one of the most significant figures in American folk music. Born in Oklahoma, he was a troubadour of the working class, farmers, and the poor. He rose to prominence during the Great Depression years and inspired generations of folk singers that came after him. From 1939 to 1940, he wrote a daily column in People's World called "Woody Sez."
