Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, responsible for hit songs such as “Both Sides, Now” and “Big Yellow Taxi,” is widely considered 1960s and ’70s folk royalty.
Joni Mitchell Today: Folk Singer Performs at the 2024 Grammy Awards at Age 80. Prior to the 2024 Grammys, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell was already a nine-time trophy winner. On February 4, the 80-year-old graced the Grammy stage to collect the award for Best Folk Album, then again in a career first: as a performer during the ceremony. Alongside musician Brandi Carlile, Mitchell sang her hit song “Both Sides, Now.” Mitchell has rarely performed in recent years. A 2015 brain aneurysm left her hospitalized for weeks, and she’s had to relearn to play guitar in addition to other basic motor functions, like walking. In a major feat along her recovery journey, Mitchell performed her first full-length concert in more than 20 years at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. Her surprise set resulted in the live album At Newport, which won this year’s folk album category.
She recorded her first album in 1968 before finding commercial and critical success with Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, and Court and Spark, three albums from the early 1970s. Mitchell’s songs have been covered by the likes of Judy Collins and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with her emotionally vulnerable lyrics influencing scores of musicians. Her impact on music has earned her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Gershwin Prize.
Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell was born Roberta Joan Anderson on November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Canada. Her famous last name mirrors that of her first husband, Chuck Mitchell.
At age 9, Joni contracted polio, and it was during her recovery in the hospital that she began performing and singing to patients. After teaching herself how to play the guitar, she went off to art college and quickly emerged as one of the leading folk performers of the late 1960s and ’70s.
