American singer-songwriter and activist Joan Baez was born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York. Known for her soprano voice, three-octave range, and distinct vibrato, she started as a folk singer but has since explored various genres including rock, pop, country, and gospel. Her influence helped propel Bob Dylan's early career. In 2017, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Joan Baez is the daughter of Albert Baez and Joan Baez Sr., younger sister of Pauline Marden, and older sister of Mimi Farina who is also a folk musician. She had a romantic relationship with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s before marrying David Harris from 1968 to 1974. Together they have a son named Gabriel Harris.

Ingram was an electroplating / plating company based in Nashville, TN. It emerged as a separate entity from United Record Plating in the early 1980s and was co-founded by [a10525969] and Bob Smith. With a focus on providing high-quality plating services for the music industry, Ingram quickly established itself as a trusted name in the field.
During its operation, Ingram worked closely with various record labels and artists to ensure their albums were flawlessly plated and ready for distribution. The label's commitment to excellence earned them a reputation for delivering top-notch products that met the highest industry standards.
Unfortunately, despite their success, Ingram closed its doors in 1996. However, their legacy lives on through the countless records they helped produce during their time in business. Today, collectors and music enthusiasts still appreciate the craftsmanship of *Ingram* plated albums as a testament to their dedication to quality.

Like a long, funny letter from an old friend, an album of drawings by the legendary singer and activist for social justice, Joan Baez.Since retiring from active performing, Baez has focused her formidable talents on painting and drawing. This collection of drawings shows another side of Baez: lovingly loose and charming sketches on reoccurring themes such as politics, relationships, women, animals, and family. Each section, organized thematically, includes an introductory piece by the artist. Baez approaches her line drawings as exercises in freedom: she begins drawing upside down—often using her non-dominant hand—without any preconceived notion of where her marks might lead her.Beginning with her seminal debut album in 1960, Baez has been a musical force of nature of incalculable influence whose earliest recordings fed a host of traditional ballads into the rock vernacular. In 1963, she introduced Bob Dylan to the world, beginning a tradition of mutual mentoring that continued across her many recordings. As a lifetime advocate for non-violent social change, she marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King Jr., shined a spotlight on the Free Speech Movement, took to the fields with Cesar Chavez, organized resistance to the Vietnam War, and inspired Vaclav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic.Am I Pretty When I Fly?&nbsp;reveals yet another side of a beloved icon.
