Odetta, born on December 31, 1930 in Birmingham, AL, was an influential American singer, guitarist, songwriter, and human rights activist. She played a significant role in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and '60s.

Her musical repertoire encompassed a wide range of genres including American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals. Odetta's powerful voice and captivating performances made her an inspiration for many musicians such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, Harry Belafonte, Carly Simon, and Janis Joplin.
