Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

American singer-songwriter and activist born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York, USA and known for her soprano voice, three-octave range and distinct, rapid vibrato. Originally a folk singer, her music has considerably strayed from folk since the 1960s, encompassing rock, pop, country, and gospel.
She was influential in helping Bob Dylan gain greater career success in his early performing days.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017.
Daughter of Albert Baez and Joan Baez, Sr.; younger sister of Pauline Marden and older sister of Mimi Farina (also a folk musician). She had a romantic relationship with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s, and later married David Harris (from March 26, 1968 until their divorce on February 15, 1974) with whom she had a son, Gabriel Harris.
