She is a clean singer with depth and dimension!      {#Cheers}

I've never heard this before. I had no good reason to think it Joan when she began singing, but thought it I did. She is distinctive, even among the many contemporaries who resemble her.

Mary Chapin Carpenter's version is WAY superior!

Prefer this over the Mary Chapin Carpenter version.

Sounds like her a little - i know i know it Joan Baez 
  I sort of like the phrasing Mary does a little better

I heard the refrain and realized that I'd heard this song about a million years ago and fell in love with it but never knew who did it because the DJ never announced it... So I've had this chorus echoing in my head for decades, and now I know with certainty that I love it - and I know why.  Talk about closure - or perhaps a new beginning...

This song is rather amazing!  I've always been a little ambiguous about Ms. Baez's music - her voice used to drive me bugf*ck, but I couldn't stop listening, because her guitar-playing and her lyrics hooked me.  I'm glad to be hearing her again, now that I'm older and hopefully wiser. {#Sunny}

Mercedes Sosa - Gracias a La Vida (Lyrics and Song by Violeta Parra) Mercedes Sosa - (Tucumán, 9-Jul-1935 - Buenos Aires, 4-Oct-2009) Mercedes Sosa - Thanks to life (Violeta Parra)

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
graba noche y dia grillos y canarios
martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario
con él las palabras que pienso y declaro
madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando,
la ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
playas y desiertos montañas y llanos
y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me dio el corazón que agita su marco
cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo,
cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto,
asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto
los dos materiales que forman mi canto
y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.

Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida

Who would have thought I would find a Joan Baez song I would like. I guess as she got older she did not have to try and show off her voice anymore.

This song caught me by surprise... hadn't heard it before and was surprised to discover it was Joan Baez... then I listened to the lyrics and knew for certain. Great tune all around, and possibly the best "message" song I've heard in years.

I grew up listening to Joan, and always liked her just fine.

I don't think I've heard this song before, and I liked it better that way.

Without knowing this, I thought it really sounded like MCC's style. I'll have to see if I can find MCC singing it.

Her voice sounds great. I recognized it right off, even though it's lower.

Joan Baez - "Oh, Freedom" Live in Stockholm (1966)
    

"toujours un plaisir d'ecouter une pareille voix on a pas oublie"

"I wonder why few of today's modern singers are unable to sing with this kind of emotion"

"But try to hear portuguese singers like Amalia, Teresa Salgueiro, Mariza, among others"

One of my first "lp's" was Joan Baez Vol 2 from 1961. I always loved listening to her back then.

 I agree. Like Joni, she abandoned that shrill sound of her earlier work (yay).

I agree. But this is still good. I like the way Joan Baez' voice has matured.
