Happy Birthday Joan! January 9, 1941 🎊🎉🎶🎸

Joan Baez was born on January 9, 1941, on Staten Island, New York, one of three daughters of a Mexican-born physicist father and a mother with Scottish roots. The family moved to southern California, where Joan spent much of her childhood, then relocated to Cambridge, Massachusetts so her father could join the faculty at MIT. Joan enrolled in Boston University’s theater school but soon lost interest. She was, instead, drawn into the burgeoning Boston folk music scene. Her early influences included Harry Belafonte, Odetta, and Pete Seeger. On the strength of her club performances around Boston, musician Bob Gibson invited the eighteen-year-old Baez to perform at the Newport Folk Festival in 1959, and her strong, beautiful soprano voice captured the audience.

Impressed by her Newport performance, representatives at Vanguard Records and Capitol Records rushed to sign Joan to a recording contract. She chose Vanguard, believing that the less-corporate label would give her more freedom. Her first album, the self-titled Joan Baez(Vanguard, 1960) reached the Top 20, an improbable feat for an album of traditional folk ballads at that time. Joan’s premier album and her next two albums, Joan Baez, Vol. 2and the live Joan Baez in Concert, all achieved Gold Record status, establishing Joan Baez as a star.
