 | | Joan Baez, was born on Staten Island, New York, to a Quaker family of Mexican, English and Scottish descent. |
 | | Baez, at the time only ten years old, was deeply influenced by the poverty and inhumane treatment suffered by the local population in Baghdad. |
 | | From the early to mid-1960's, Baez emerged at the forefront of the American roots revival, where she introduced her audiences to the then-unknown Bob Dylan (the two became romantically involved in late 1962, remaining together through early 1965), and was emulated by artists such as Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt. |
