Joan Baez

The most accomplished interpretive folksinger of

the1960s, Joan Baez has influenced nearly every

aspect of popular music in a career still going

strong.Baez is possessed of a once-in-a-lifetime

soprano, which, since the late '50s, she has put in

the service of folk and pop music as well as a

variety of political causes. From 1962 to 1964,

Baez was the popular face of folk music,

headlining festivals and concert tours and singing at

political events.

During this period, she began to champion the

work of folk songwriter Bob Dylan, and gradually

her repertoire moved from traditional material

towards the socially conscious work of the

emerging generation of 60s artists like him.
