Louis Armstrong discovered her, Pete Seeger mentored her, Bob Dylan called her a hero, and Bonnie Raitt was inspired by her. She launched the career of the Chambers Brothers , jammed with Muddy Waters and Memphis Slim , shaped Jane Fonda's politics, and became the first American performer to break the embargo with Cuba – so why isn't she a household name? She chose conscience over fame, transforming setbacks into opportunities and blazing her own path through her art. With singular confidence, Dane emanated the people-powered connectivity of folk, the defiance of blues, and the elemental cool of jazz – using music as a force for change and earning a four-inch FBI file along the way. If you have not yet heard of her, you will want to know why.
