Biography

American singer-songwriter and activist born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York, USA and known for her soprano voice, three-octave range and distinct, rapid vibrato. Originally a folk singer, her music has considerably strayed from folk since the 1960s, encompassing rock, pop, country, and gospel. She was influential in helping [a=Bob Dylan] gain greater career success in his early performing days. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017. Daughter of [a=Albert Baez] and [a=Joan Baez, Sr.]; younger sister of [a=Pauline Marden] and older sister of [a=Mimi Farina] (also a folk musician). She had a romantic relationship with [a=Bob Dylan] in the mid-1960s, and later married [a=David Harris (15)] (from March 26, 1968 until their divorce on February 15, 1974) with whom she had a son, [a=Gabriel Harris].

LYRICS

(V. Jara, arr. by J. Baez)
[I Remember Amanda]
Te recuerdo Amanda
La calle mojada
Corriendo a la fabrica
Donde trabajaba Manuel.

La sonrisa ancha
La lluvia en el pelo
No importaba nada
Ibas a encontrarte
Con el, con el, con el, con el, con el,
Son cinco minutos
La vida es eterna en cinco minutos.

Suena la sirena
De vuelta al trabajo
Y tu caminando
Lo iluminas todo
Los cinco minutos
Te hacen florecer.

La sonrisa ancha
La lluvia en el pelo
No importaba nada
Ibas a encontrarte
Con el, con el, con el, con el, con el,
Que partio a la sierra
Que nunca hizo dano
Que partio a la sierra
Y en cinco minutos
Quedo destrozado.

Suena la sirena
De vuelta al trabajo
Muchos no volvieron
Tampoco Manuel
