Lecture 6: Bob Dylan (a.k.a., Robert Allen Zimmerman), the towering giant of the folk revival, performs his legendary song “Blowin’ in the Wind” on television, 1963. The song originally appeared on his second studio album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (1963). It went on to become one of Dylan’s most beloved ballads, and was remade a number of times by such singers as Joan Baez, Stevie Wonder, and Peter, Paul and Mary. Dylan’s songs were anthems of a generation and reflected the idealism and the despair of the 1960s. Even today, Dylan remains one of the most important and influential American songwriters and musicians of all time.
