Joan Baez — 85. Remembering How She Became a Folk Rock and Human Rights Legend in the USA
She was imprisoned for her beliefs, refused to perform in the USSR in solidarity with dissident Natalia Gorbanevskaya, donated most of her earnings to charity, sang Bob Dylan's songs better than he did himself, and this year plans a farewell tour with him.
