MUSIC, WHO IS THIS PERSON

[33yardbirds]

The melody and the words, " for those of us that were never called to be the first at basketball," I can not for the life of me remember her name. The song was basically a lament on the plight of being a plane jane average girl. I had this album back in the '70's and I can still see the cover. It was all acustic guitar. If I see the name it will click. Thanks

Janis Ian, the name of the song was "At Seventeen."

Janis Ian was quite controversal back in the early to mid seventies. Her first hit release was a song titled Society"s Child which implied an interracial romance and was banned, at first, from being played on the radio. She followed up with At Seventeen.
