Bob Dylan

 Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan; born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) was an American musician and singer. Dylan is frequently considered to be one of the most influential songwriters of all time. His career spans over 60 years. The most well-known work of his goes to the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' In the Wind" (1963) as well as "The Times are a-Changin' (1964) were a hit songs of the civil rights movement as well as antiwar movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which comprised mainly traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan the following year. The album features "BlowinIn the Wind" and the intricate and rich thematical "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Come Fall". A lot of his songs were influenced by folk music from the past. In 1964, Dylan released his politically controversial The Times They are a-Changin' and the more reflective and abstract Another Side of Bob Dylan.
