"Honor Them All" by Janis Ian

Native to New York City, Janis Fink changed her name to Janis Ian (good move) before launching a critically acclaimed career as a folk singer/songwriter. She's won two Grammys and released twenty-two studio albums.

Her career began way back when she was only 14 with the stunning song, "Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking)," which went to #14 in 1967. A song about interracial dating, it was way ahead of its time and just hinted at the genius that was to follow Ian's catalogue through the years. With exception of a comeback hit in 1975, the remarkable "At Seventeen," which went to #3, Ian has not enjoyed widespread commercial success.

"Honor Them All" is from her 1997 album, "Hunger." A sweet song about cherishing those dear to you. Another terrific cut from this record is "Getting Over You." Surprising this one didn't mark a second comeback for Ian, as the record fit nicely with the rise of female singer/songwriters in the 90s.
