BORN: December 30, 1946, Chicago, IL

"Three chord rock merged with the power of the word."

So Patti Smith described her music on the 1975 release of
Horses, her celebrated debut album; and so she has
continued to blend the spoken and sung arts in incantatory
fashion with her latest work, Gone Again. Impossible to
categorize, moving easily between the literary and musical
worlds, always unpredictable and impassioned, she is an
idiosyncratically unique performer who has always remained
true to her artistic vision.

Born in Chicago and raised in Woodbury, New Jersey, just
across the state line from Philadelphia, Patti's mother,
Beverly, was a jazz singer cum waitress. Her father, Grant,
worked at the Honeywell plant; she was the oldest of four
siblings: her siste More...

    awesome | Reviewer: Sumit
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    So true is this song ... anyone can relate to this song, because in our lives we always have to make those choices between some more loved ones and some more important ones.

    This beautiful song just goes to underline the importance of the loved one we let go, because of what we thought was more important.

    .... am Sorry if I was unable to make myself clear



    a song that says it all | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    love it one of the best ever written always better when written from the heart, this song i have loved for years as it helped me to bring an end to a 6 year relationship when i sang it to my ex, its a song that says everything you have to say but dont know how to put it in words of your own, and to end it when you both know its wrong, not when you have reached the point when ya cant stand the sight of each other, why is it they dont write good meanful songs like this much anymore?


    The Sting of Love | Reviewer: Nathan Phillips
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    This is one of those rare songs that makes you feel its emotion even if you aren't in the situation, but actually being in the situation from either side of the song brings the song immediately to mind whether it is on the radio or not.


    Beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    I agree with u, Kelly Matthews.

    This song is beautiful and classic. It's painful when u gotta leave coz things just can't work out, even though u love that someone so much. Well, this song makes one feel he/ she's not alone.


    Most painful and truthful song out there | Reviewer: anonymous
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    It's classic, beautiful songs like these that you respect so much, but you wish you weren't listening to it or that it was never written because you know deep down inside that it's truth and you resent that it is true. Yet you don't change the station because you can't help but to listen to it and you feel obligated to feel the hurt.


    A Great Duet | Reviewer: Kelly Matthews
        ------ About the song Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough performed by Patti Smith

    This is a wonderful, hearbreaking duet. Patti and Don's voices work magic together on this one of a kind ballad. This song has meaning that reaches beyond emotions and seems to touch the soul. This is especially true for those of us who have had to say good-bye to a special someone that is loved dearly, but due to the situation, it just doesn't work. Overall, a fantastic song.


    Definitive | Reviewer: avi
        ------ About the song Pissing In A River performed by Patti Smith

    The term "Rock and Roll" was coined for the likes of Patti Smith; this woman has so much soul, and pours it all into her poetry and music. Deservedly, she must be placed amidst the rest of the pantheon: Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, Stiv Bator, and Lou Reed, et al. She is Rock and Roll.


    Amazing | Reviewer: Hugo
        ------ About the song Pissing In A River performed by Patti Smith

    Since Black (Pearl Jam); Pictures of you (The Cure); I know it`s over (The Smiths) and Fake plastic trees (Radio Head) i hadn`t heard a powerful song. Mercy, thank you Patii Smith, come to Peru, please


    Revenge | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Revenge performed by Patti Smith

    Has anybody realized that this song is about Tom Verlaine, her ex-boyfriend/musical collaborator? ("Don't leave me no space in your little boat" is reference to Television's "See No Evil.") I assume Patti & Tom have made up since then as they've worked together again, but she was pretty pissed at him here...great song, BTW.


    Patti is one of the "Lady Treasures" of rock & roll | Reviewer: Paul White
        ------ About the song Dancing Barefoot performed by Patti Smith

    Dancing Barefoot is my favorite Patti Smith song. Theyre's so much "going on" there lyrically; she truly does find her righteous space -among women. She gives you so much to think about throughout the song, especially at the end. Not only is she at her best vocally on this album (Wave), the musicianship of the band really helps kick it all up a couple notches. Check out "Frederick" and her cover of "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star" - both excellent!

    I think above all else though, I love her concept for the album liner picture which has Patti standing there (I believe with a dove in hand - alas I've misplaced it!!) with this quote from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke which says: "For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does. Thanks Patti Smith for reminding us! God bless you!


    non-violent punk !!! | Reviewer: aninda rahman
        ------ About the song Gandhi performed by Patti Smith

    it has a phychedelic flavour...and spirituality. this punk rock song is an unmathced tribute to gandhi. gandhi's revolution, though non-violent didnt lack vigour. that's what new-era punks can learn ... and patti smith ... she is impossible !!!!


    simply beautiful | Reviewer: HELLO!
        ------ About the song Hey Joe (version) performed by Patti Smith

    this song is just so beautiful, it stays in your head and Patti Smith sings this perfectly, i love it


    Unbeknownst of the beauty of this tune | Reviewer: kelly
        ------ About the song Pissing in a River performed by Patti Smith

    This song is heavy, emotion practically pours out of the speakers, intense sound. If this what you need to listen to, your a extremely deep person when it comes to music, candles, wacki backi, lieing back on the covers..she will steal your mind. Recommended. Sincerely.x


    Creme De La Creme | Reviewer: paisley yankolovich
        ------ About the song Kimberly performed by Patti Smith

    Kimberly is a classic among classics. Heartbreaking, hopefu, humane, and catchy as a pop song! God bless Patti Smith!


    Excellent Song, 20 years ahead of its time | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Revenge performed by Patti Smith

    Starts out haunting, almost like The House of the Rising Sun, like a perfect storm, it's such a beautiful song. It pre-dates Chrissy Hynde, I think, who took a cue from Patti the eternal poetess. If it were released today, it would be a hit. Even Alanis would have to bow to Patti. She paved the way for all female alternative grooves. On this song, Patti sounds dangerous, mysterious, as though her life were unfolding and she is taking 'sweet revenge.' And "nobody gets hurt, nobody gets anything" sounds threatening but the words, themselves, are sweet, like revenge.


    Timeless Classic | Reviewer: Tom
        ------ About the song Dancing Barefoot performed by Patti Smith

    Haunting tune from a cutting edge artist that put out a lot of great material. Great music, great lyrics, great vocals -- what more could you ask for?
