Happy Traum, the Greenwich Village folk singer who famously collaborated with Bob Dylan, has died at 86.
Born in the Bronx on May 9, 1938, Traum was officially named Harry but was nicknamed “Happy” by his family. Long before Dylan arrived in New York City in January 1961, Traum was enmeshed in the Village scene in the Fifties and Sixties, studying guitar with blues legend Brownie McGhee and participating in the fabled Sunday afternoon jam sessions at Washington Square Park, where he met one of his heroes, the late Dave Van Ronk.
Traum also met Dylan, then a newcomer to the scene. “I knew him when he first came to New York and in the first couple of years, when he was scuffling around the city and starting to write the songs,” Traum toldin 2014. As a member of the New World Singers, an interracial folk group that also included Gil Turner and Delores Dixon, Traum became the first to cover Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind,” for the Folkways album.
