Janis Ian is a world
famous songwriter, performer, and author with 9 Grammy Nominations. Her songs
"At 17" and "Society's Child" are in the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
Who are the great songwriters in America today? Ask
any student of the form, and Janis Ian will be counted among them. The writer
of "Jesse", a song recorded by so many others that few remember Ian
wrote it;"Stars", possibly the best song ever written about the life of
a performer; and the seminal "At Seventeen", a song that brought her
five Grammy nominations in 1975, and which is now reaching its third generation
of listeners.
Ian is a formidable talent, a force of nature. Ella
Fitzgerald called her "The best young singer in America". Chet Atkins said "Singer?
You ought to hear that girl play guitar; she gives me a run for my money!" Reviewers
have called her live performances "overwhelming to the spirit and soul", and "drenched
with such passion, the audience feels they've been
swept up in a hurricane."
