Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter. Beginning in the early 1960s as a solo folk singer with an acoustic guitar, he had a huge impact in the middle of the decade by switching to electric, adding a back-up band and bringing literacy to rock'n'roll.

Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, on May 24, 1941, the son of Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe.
