Hope Foye




Hope Foye (born Frances Hope Wainwright) is an American folk singer who performed with such artists as Pete Seeger, Paul Robeson, and The Weavers (where she was once described as the "fifth" Weaver).[1][2]


She performed in Bob Fosse's first musical, Dance Me a Song, in which she premiered the song Lilac Wine.[3]


Foye suffered under the McCarran Committee and as a result left the United States for a career in Mexico and Europe.[4]
