She was voted the 60th Greatest Rock `n` Roll Artist of all time by Rolling Stone.

Instruments played include the guitar, piano, oboe, and autoharp.

Had polio as a child and due to complications from the disease cannot play a wide body acoustic guitar because of the pressure it puts on her back and shoulder.

She took up folk singing for fun and to earn pocket change for cigarettes, movies and dances while she attended art school.

Her father was a trumpet player in a Canadian marching band.

Was at one time romantically involved with Graham Nash. In fact, Nash wrote the song "Our House" about their relationship.

Was invited to play at Woodstock, but her manager refused to let her because she was scheduled to make her national television debut on "The Dick Cavett Show" (1968). He saw how bad the traffic was and told her that she wouldn`t make it back in time. As a result, she wrote the classic song "Woodstock", which ironically became a hit for Crosby Stills Nash & Young, who did appear at the festival.

Her daughter is a model in Canada, named Kilauren Gibb.

1965: She had a daughter, whom she put up for adoption. She met the girl in 1996, and they now have a good relationship.
