Joni Mitchell (November 7, 1943) was born Roberta Joan Anderson in Alberta. She began playing guitar and singing in clubs in her hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, before busking on the streets of Toronto. After a failed marriage, which gave her the name of Mitchell, she moved to New York, where her songwriting abilities were recognized by other performers such as Buffy Sainte-Marie (“The Circle Game”) and Judy Collins (“Both Sides Now”).
Photographed on November 20, 1968 by Jack Robinson for the fashion magazine Vogue, she had just released her first album Song to a Seagull and was about to appear in a concert at Carnegie Hall.
