Janis Ian (born Janis Eddy Fink; April 7, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter who was mostly active in the 1960s and 1970s; her most successful song At Seventeen, was released as a single from her 1975 album Between the Lines which reached number 1 on the Billboard chart.
Born in 1951 in New York, Ian entered the American folk music scene while still a teenager in the mid-1960s. Most active musically in that decade and the 1970s, she has continued recording into the 21st century. She has won two Grammy Awards, the first in 1975 for At Seventeen and the second in 2013 for Best Spoken Word Album, for her autobiography, Society's Child (nearly 40 years later).
Ian is also a columnist and science fiction author.
Born to an American family in New York City, she was primarily raised in New Jersey, initially on a farm, and attended East Orange High School in East Orange, New Jersey and the New York City High School of Music & Art. Her parents, Victor, a music teacher, and Pearl, ran a summer camp in upstate New York. In that Cold War era they were frequently under government surveillance because of their left-wing politics.

Back to 1980 and the follow up to the huge and surprisingly beat filled 'Fly too High' was this beautiful track - 'The Other Side of The Sun'. Singer/Songwriter Janis Ian has a sound like no other - delicate, a little bit folky, and so compelling. The lady has a lovely ear for melody and her way with words is just sublime. 'At Seventeen' was a landmark hit and breakthrough for the performer five years before this. The 'Night Rains' LP, from which this track comes, was a gold selling title downunder, with 'Fly too high' making the Top 10 nationally, but this follow up could only make #30 in Sydney and #44 nationally. For me, Janis Ian's next set 'Restless Eyes' would generate more classic pop with 'Under the Covers' 'Passion Play and 'I remember yesterday'. I sort of lost Janis Ian's music ...
Watch as Janis performs one of her most beautiful ballads from her Grammy winning masterpiece "Between the Lines". My favorite song from that album. - Kathleen Brogan

The legendary Janis Ian performs an acoustic version of her 1967 hit single, Society's Child. Recorded live at the Rio Grande Theatre, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, March 4, 2010.
Janis Ian werd in de jaren zeventig wereldberoemd met hits als At Seventeen, Jesse en Fly Too High. Met de uitstekend ontvangen albums Billie's Bones (2004) en Folk is the New Black (2006) lijkt ze artistiek gezien aan haar tweede jeugd begonnen. Muzikaal pendelt ze heen en weer tussen folk, chanson, bluegrass, jazz en blues. Tijdens de tournee waarmee ze momenteel door ons land tourt zal de nog altijd immens populaire Amerikaanse singer-songwriter vele parels uit heden en verleden ten gehore brengen. Janis Ian werd in 1951 geboren in New York. In de jaren zestig en zeventig bloeide haar carrière als zangeres echt op en in 1975 ontving zij een Grammy Award voor het nummer 'At Seventeen'. In 1995 werd haar vroege werk gebundeld op het compilatiealbum 'Society's Child: The Verve Recordings'...

Artist: Janis Ian Album: Society's Child (1967) Lyrics: Come to my door, baby, Face is clean and shining black as night. My mother went to answer you know That you looked so fine. Now I could understand your tears and your shame, She called you "boy" instead of your name. When she wouldn't let you inside, When she turned and said "But honey, he's not our kind." She says I can't see you any more, baby, Can't see you anymore. Walk me down to school, baby, Everybody's acting deaf and blind. Until they turn and say, "Why don't you stick to your own kind." My teachers all laugh, the smirking stares, Cutting deep down in our affairs. Preachers of equality, Think th...

I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens. In high school, girls with clear-skin smiles, Who married young and then retired. The valentines I never knew. The Friday night charades of youth, Were spent on one more beautiful. At seventeen I learned the truth. And those of us with ravaged faces, Lacking in the social graces, Desperately remained at home, Inventing lovers on the phone. Who called to say come dance with me. And murmured vague obscenities. It isn't all it seems, At seventeen. A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs. Whose name I never could pronounce, Said, "Pity, please, the ones who serve, They only get what they deserve." And the rich-relationed, hometown queen, Marries into what she needs. With a guarantee of company, A...

Well, I was sittin' on the corner,
I was smokin' on the sly.
When along comes a grownup,
From the grownup F.B.I.
He says, "This ain't
Marlboro country, hon.
Where'd you get your cigarettes?
You know you are too young."
Then up stepped three more
Governmental nuts,
Who'd been laying in the gutter,
Disguised as cigarette butts.
Called for the sergeant,
He rolled up in a hearse.
And he called me a lousy,
No-good, juvenile pervert.
He gave me a lecture,
On cancer of the lung.
Said, "Anyone who smokes,
Is a low-down, dirty bum.
Don't let me catch you smokin',
around again," he said.
And he took another drag,
Of his cigarette.
If you think I'm hating grownups,
You're got me all wrong.
They're very nice people,
When they stay where they belong.
But we're the younger generation,
And your rules are giving me fixations.
I've got those younger generation,
Regurgitation blues.
I was going down the corner,
I was going against the light,
Which had just turned green,
Up comes this guy.
Says, "Don't you know,
That's a federal offense?
Seems like kids your age,
Just ain't got no sense.
Don't you know you're risking,
Juvenile arrest?
Committing suicide,
Is punishable by death."
If you think I'm hating grownups,
You're got me all wrong.
They're very nice people,
When they stay where they belong.
But we're the younger generation,
And your rules are giving me fixations.
I've got those younger generation,
