<3 This week on magic Portals, we hear from the legendary rock and roll singer Patti Smith. Patricia Lee Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and artist who became an influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album “Horses”. Patti Smith was signed by Clive Davis of Arista Records, and in 1975 recorded their first album, Horses, produced by John Cale. The album is a pure reflection of rock and roll incorporating spoken poetry. The album begins with a cover of Van Morrison’s iconic “Gloria” , and Smith’s opening words: “Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine” (an excerpt from “Oath”, one of her early poems). The album cover photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe has become one of rock’s classic images.
