Janis Ian became a teenage pop star in the mid-1960s when she wrote and recorded the song “Society’s Child.” Featuring a dramatic melody and an emotive vocal, Ian’s lyrics are about an interracial relationship that crumbles because of bigotry, based on what the songwriter witnessed as a 13-year-old while growing up in East Orange, New Jersey. The single reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A decade later, Ian managed to write and sing an even bigger hit with “At Seventeen,” which remains among the most timeless anthems of the 1970s. Reportedly based on an article Ian read in the New York Times, the song delicately details the struggles of adolescence with lines like the memorable opening couplet: “I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was meant for beauty queens.”

“At Seventeen” reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 1 on the magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart and earned Ian a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. In subsequent years, the song has been heard in numerous TV shows and films including “The Simpsons” and Mean Girls.” Both “Society’s Child” and “At Seventeen” were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in the 2000s.

Ian recently issued the new full-length “The Light at the End of the Line", which she says will be her final solo studio album, embarking on a last North American tour as well.
