I can remember Joan Baez singing it at Club 47 before we’d ever heard of Dylan. We folkie schoolkids of course learned it right away.
Internet says she recorded it in 1960.
The Animals butchered it. I’d shut the radio off if a DJ had the temerity to play it.
Club 47!
My cousin’s aunt and uncle ran its successor, Passim for decades at 47 Palmer Street, Harvard Square. Good great times, those were.
I’m 73 and can remember Joan Baez singing it. The guys thought it was a cool song. It’s been a long time.
Thanks for sharing that and bringing back a memory.
