Janis Ian (1951- ) was born Janis Eddy Fink - she legally changed her name in 1964 -and entered the American folk music scene while still a teenager in the mid-1960s. At 14, Ian wrote and recorded her first hit single, "Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking)," about an interracial romance forbidden by a girl's mother and frowned upon by her peers and teachers. This song became a national hit after Leonard Bernstein featured it in a1967 CBS TV special titled "Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution" and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. Ian has released 40+ albums (studio, live and compilation).Category
