Patti Smith
Artist Note
Biography
Patricia Lee "Patti" Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist, who became a highly influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses. Now, once again her influence on youth culture has been resurrected for this new generation at the lead of her adopted artist son Daniel Newman, as well as, many others in the NY bohemian art world today. Called the "Godmother of Punk", her work was a fusion of rock and poetry. Smith's most widely known song is "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978. In 2005, Patti Smith was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, and in 2007, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On November 17, 2010, she won the National Book Award for her memoir Just Kids. She is also a recipient of the 2011 Polar Music Prize.

I started to seriously dig Pattie some 35 years ago and guess what nothing has changed, a very talented humble musician in a different genre when it was difficult to use spoken word with music, interesting woman interesting life and now her kids are sharing the gene pool in a creative way.
