Program Description

Event Details

One of the greatest phenomena of the 1960s/1970s was the rise and popularity of the singer songwriter. Turning away from the crooners of the 1940s and Doo-wop of the 1950s, the singer songwriter rose to prominence, bringing an arsenal of music that is personal and timely, introspective and worldly. We will see clips and discuss the careers of such singular talents as Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and so much more. Join us in the healing magic of music.

This program is a collaboration between Grinton I. Will, Dobbs Ferry, Yorktown, and Mount Pleasant Public Libraries.
