A few extraordinary female singer-songwriters from the 1970s helped form music as we know it today,and continue to inspire so many with their soulful melodies(旋律).
   Joni Mitchell
   Joni Mitchell's influence goes beyond her own generation.Her earnest songwriting continues to be a source of inspiration for many,who acknowledge her position as a pioneer of female expression in music.
   The 1971 album Blue showed Joni's truthful self,telling the stories of her experiences in life and in love.Blue was later chosen by the New York Times as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and the highest points in 20th-century popular music".
   Carole King
   Carole King wrote or co-wrote over 118 hits between 1955 and 1999,making her the most successful female songwriter in the second half of the 20th century.However,King initially found herself less recognized than her husband and writing partner at the time,Gerry Goffin.
   As the 1970s arrived,so did Carole King in full bloom.Now pursuing a solo career,1971 saw the release(發(fā)行)of her album Tapestry.The album was highly significant,not only commercially but symbolically.
   Joan Armatrading
   Still in the 1970s but putting in the work on this side of the pond,Joan Armatrading became the first black British female artist to achieve international praise.
   Joan's place as a female pioneer in music continued as she became the first UK female artist to be nominated(提名)for a Grammy in the blues category,going on to receive two further nominations.An artist who is confident with who she is and what she wants to create,Armatrading famously keeps her private life to herself and lets her music do the talking.
