So Long to mathematician Tom Lehrer, best known for his satirical songs, which he performed (and issued on record albums) in the 1950s and 60s ("Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", "Vatican Rag", and many more).

In 2020 he released all of his recordings into the public domain; you can listen to it all at the Internet Archive. Lehrer died at his home in Cambridge, Mass., on July 26, at 97.
 
Wasn't his brother folk singer / anti-war activist Phil Ochs?

I still have the 45, "Outside a small circle of friends", which was a hit for Phil around 1968.
