Born: January 9, 1941 - Staten Island, New York, USA
Joan Baez was the middle daughter of Albert Vinicio and Joan Bridge Baez. At age 10 her father took a job (and the family) to Baghdad, Iraq, for a year, after which they moved to Palo Alto, CA, home of Stanford University. In 1956 she bought her first guitar and heard Martin Luther King, Jr., lecture on nonviolence; the following year she heard Ira Sandperl, a Gandhian scholar, who also influenced her strongly. She graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1958, failed with a demo album, and move the next year to Massachusetts where her father had taken a teaching position at MIT. She performed at Club 47, a folk music club in Cambridge, and participated in an album "Folksingers 'Round Harvard Square." The same year she met Odetta and Bob Gibson while she was performing at Chicago's The Gate Of Horn. Bob invited her to perform July 11 at the Newport Folk Festival, which launched her fame as a folksinger. Her first album for Vanguard, "Joan Baez" (1960), was a huge success. The following year she met Bob Dylan and released her second very successful album, followed the year later by many southern civil-rights performances and "Joan Baez in Concert" (a Grammy nominee). She launched a tax revolt as part of her protest of the Vietnam war, protested Pete Seeger's exclusion by ABC-TV, and joined in the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley and the civil rights march in Selma AL. In 1967 she spent two brief periods in jail for anti-war protests. In 1969 she gave birth to Gabriel Earl while his father, David Harris, was serving 20 months of a three sentence for draft resistance. In 1971 her songs were featured in the films "Sacco And Vanzetti" and "Celebration At Big Sur." A 1974 world tour included Japan, Australia, Israel, Lebanon, Tunisia and Argentina. The 1978 film "Renaldo and Clara" featured her performances Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder tours. In 1980 Antioch University and Rutgers University awarded her the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for her music and her activisim. Next year PBS aired the documentary "There But For Fortune: Joan Baez in Latin America." The albums, causes and concerts continue, far too numerous to list here.
