Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan; born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer‑songwriter widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters in history. Over a career spanning nearly seven decades, he has become a defining figure in popular culture. With an estimated 125 million records sold worldwide, he ranks among the best‑selling musicians of all time. In the early 1960s, Dylan brought increasingly sophisticated lyrical ideas to folk music, drawing on classic literature, poetry, and political, social, and philosophical themes. His writing challenged the conventions of pop music and resonated strongly with the emerging counterculture. Born in St. Louis County, Minnesota, Dylan moved to New York City in 1961 to pursue music. His self‑titled debut album (1962), featuring traditional folk and blues songs, was followed by his breakthrough The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (1963), which included “Girl from the North Country” and “A Hard Rain’s a‑Gonna Fall,” both reworkings of older folk material. His songs “Blowin’ in the Wind” (1963) and “The Times They Are a‑Changin’” (1964) became anthems of the civil rights and anti‑war movements. In 1965 and 1966, Dylan sparked controversy by embracing electric rock instrumentation on Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited (both 1965), followed by Blonde on Blonde (1966). His six‑minute single “Like a Rolling Stone” (1965) pushed the creative and commercial boundaries of popular music.
