Biography
Joan Baez is a seminal American singer, songwriter, and activist whose career has spanned over six decades. Rising to prominence during the 1960s American folk music revival, her crystalline soprano voice and unwavering political commitment made her an icon of the counterculture. Her debut album, 'Joan Baez', was released in 1960 on #Vanguard# Records. A gifted interpreter, she helped popularize the work of then-unknown songwriters like *Bob Dylan*. Her own songwriting, particularly on the acclaimed 1975 album 'Diamonds & Rust', revealed a personal and introspective artist. A lifelong advocate for nonviolence, civil rights, and human rights, Baez's music is inextricably linked with her activism.
