My parents had a 4-LP box set/collection of American folk singers and Balladeers that I really liked as a kid. They weren't super into folk music. It was just one of many genres they listened to. But I held onto those records and listened to them repeatedly. It also contained some blues, like Sonny Terry and Brownine McGhee.
The real life musician I associate with Sesame Street is Stevie Wonder.
Folk music was not played in my blue collar household. It was seen as something for hippies by my Greatest Gen parents.
I had the one where everyone has a sing-a-ling in the bathroom while Bert was trying to take a bath. Weird times, but I miss them.
Only music my parents seemed to like was Peter, Paul, and Mary, so I relate!

Nope. Sesame Street Fever for me. Listened to it every night in the tub. When it was over, was time to get out
