November 2015: Patty Smith

The highlight of October. Patti Smith, 69 years, on the replay of "Horses", he first album recorded in 1975. 

Since 1974, when she founded her band, the guitarist, bassist and rock archivist Lenny Kaye.

Patti Smith was a fusion of poetry and music, the origin of the punk movement and, with her book 'just kids'of her time with Robert Mapplethorpe, also a prize winning writer.

On January 23, 1977, while touring in support of Radio Ethiopia, her second album Patti Smith accidentally danced off a high stage in Tampa, Florida, and fell 15 feet into a concrete orchestra pit, breaking several neck vertebrae. The injury required a period of rest and an intensive round of physical therapy, during which time she was able to reassess, re-energize and reorganize her life. Patti Smith Group produced two further albums before the end of the 1970s.

Even with that, and now being 69, she is still full of energy, and a clearly outspoken message.

 

oday she tours with her son Jackson, of her marriage with Fred Sonic Smith

Other band members today are Jay Dee Daugherty on drums and Tony Shanahan on Bass.
