myRockworld HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONI MITCHELL Joni Mitchell,born Roberta Joan Anderson; November 7, 1943, is a Canadian musician, singer songwriter, and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965 she moved to the United States and, touring constantly, began to be recognized when her original songs (Urge for Going, Chelsea Morning, Both Sides, Now, The Circle Game) were covered by notable folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her own debut album in 1968.Settling in Southern California, Mitchell, with popular songs like Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock, helped define an era and a generation. Her more starkly personal 1971 recording Blue has been called one of the best albums ever made.[3] Musically restless, Mitchell switched labels and began moving toward jazz rhythms by way of lush pop textures on 1974s Court and Spark, her best-selling LP, featuring the radio hits Help Me and Free Man in Paris.
