Joan Baez is celebrating her 84th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Joan Baez (Diamonds & Rust, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Baez, a cultural icon

Born in New York on January 9, 1941, Joan Baez's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Baez's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Joan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joan Baez as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 84.

Happy Birthday, Joan, you're the best!
