Smith has come a long way since graduating from Deptford Township High School in 1964. She studied art at Rowan University then known as Glassboro State College for two and a half years before moving to New York City in 1967.
\”When I went to New York, I wanted to be an artist,\” Smith said. \”I got into music by accident.\”
Ever since that \”accident,\” Smith has left an indelible impression on the music world with the release of ten studio albums, two live albums, three compilations and two EPs. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, and in 2004 was counted 47th in Rolling Stone magazine\’s list of \”The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.\”
