Thread Name: Worst Song by a Respectable Artist
Subject: RE: Worst Song by a Respectable Artist
Now I've always liked lots of Joan Baez's work, and she's a great singer. But one version of "Blowin' in the Wind" just makes me cringe. It's not that the entire song is bad, it's pretty good overall. But she insists on singing "Blowing" instead of the more natural sounding "Blowin'". I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure the original title uses the more informal form. I grew up listening to Joan, and have always had great respect for her. But that one word... Thanks, BlueJay
