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. |
