Discover the awe-inspiring Grammy comeback of music legend Joni Mitchell. From her historic wins to a mesmerizing live performance, delve into the timeless journey of an icon.
Joni Mitchell, a Grammy-winning artist with a legacy spanning nearly six decades, made her first-ever singing appearance on the awards show this Sunday. Performing her iconic song “Both Sides Now,” the choice held special significance, as it was featured on the album that earned her the very first Grammy 55 years ago.
Seated on a throne in her distinctive “Joni Jam” style, Mitchell, accompanied by a stellar lineup including Brandi Carlile, Allison Russell, Jacob Collier, Lucius, Sista Strings, and Blake Mills, captivated the audience. Earlier at the Premiere Ceremony, she clinched another Grammy for the best folk album, marking her 10th career win.
Brandi Carlile, introducing Mitchell, hailed her as a pioneering figure who redefined the purpose of a song, influencing countless singer-songwriters. Carlile emphasized Mitchell’s resilience, surviving challenges like poverty, polio, and a near-fatal brain aneurysm a decade ago. Despite assumptions of retirement after the aneurysm, Mitchell gradually returned to live performances, notably in the “Joni Jam” series.
The recent Grammy performance follows Joni Mitchell‘s comeback to live appearances in the past two years, including celebrated “Joni Jam” concerts and upcoming shows at the Hollywood Bowl.
The artist’s influence spans from her earliest Grammy wins in 1969 to the recent recognition for the historical album “Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963–1967).”
Notably, she secured a win in the top categories at the 50th Grammys for her contribution to Herbie Hancock’s album “River: The Joni Letters.” Mitchell, turning 80, remains a timeless figure in music history.
