 Joan Osborne was born on
July 8, 1962, in Kentucky. Joan originally
attended NYU's film school, but began singing at
clubs around New York after singing a Billie
Holiday song at a bar's open-mic night at the
urging of friends.
- Joan formed her own
label called Womanly Hips and release a live LP, Soul
Show. Joan then released the EP, Blue
Million Miles and signed with Mercury
Records. Joan displayed that she is gifted not
only with her voice, but with her complex lyrics
that invoke both the imagination and the mind.
She puts rock and soul qualities in all her
songs, and creates music that is catchy and
personable.
 March 21: Joan's first major label
LP and breakthrough LP, Relish was released. The LP found
critical success including a Grammy nomination
for Album
of the Year,
but didn't find commercial success until "One Of Us" hit the radio airwaves and
video channels.
 November 5: The
Early Recordings was released and contained
predominantly live selections from Soul Show:
Live At Delta (from 1991) and Blue
Million Miles (from 1993).
 July: Joan participated in the
highly successful Lilith Fair package tour. At
one point during the tour, Joan took a stand for
pro-choice rights. The tour's organizer, Sarah
McLachlan, and Joan stated
that in the future they would not perform at the
Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Texas. Planned
Parenthood had problems being allowed to set up a
booth due to the venue's policies. Joan later
graced the stage with a Planned Parenthood
t-shirt and stated to the crowd, "I'm the
face of pro-choice Texas."
 November: A Joan Osborne boycott
was staged by an anti-abortion group after Joan
participated in several public service
announcements for the pro-choice Planned
Parenthood. Joan recorded radio spots in support
of Planned Parenthood. - November: Joan has recorded a duet
with Bob
Dylan on a cover of "Chimes Of
Freedom" for an NBC mini-series.
- June: Joan continued touring as
the track "Love Is Alive" hit the
airwaves.

short time with the Funk Brothers
and opened a few nights for the Dixie Chicks. During the summer, Joan
opened for The Other Ones.
