 Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen
Zimmerman on May 24th, 1941. While growing up
in Minnesota, Dylan began building his
appreciation for music and learning how to
create his own music. He was on his way to
becoming one of the most influential
songwriters and folk performers in music
history.

Dylan headed to New York at the
start of the 60s on a mission to meet his
idol Woody Guthrie and
pursue his music interests. Interest in
Dylan's music began to increase as he played
at various coffee houses in the city, opened
for John Lee Hooker, and played harmonica
on an LP by Harry Belafonte.
This exposure led to a record deal with
Columbia Records.

Dylan and began writing many of his
famous protest songs.


Record sales improved with his
second release The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan which was
embraced by the folk music critics and fans
