    Janis Ian Career

    At the age of 14, Ian wrote and recorded her first hit single, “Society’s Child (Baby I’ve Been Thinking)”, about an interracial romance forbidden by a girl’s mother and frowned upon by her peers and teachers. Produced by George “Shadow” Morton and released three times from 1965 to 1967, “Society’s Child” became a national hit upon its third release after Leonard Bernstein featured it in a late-April 1967 CBS TV special titled Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution.

    At the age of 16, Ian met comedian Bill Cosby backstage at a Smothers Brothers show where she was promoting “Society’s Child”. Since she was underage, she was accompanied by a chaperone while touring. After her set, Ian had been sleeping with her head on the lap of her chaperone (an older female family friend).

    According to Ian in a 2015 interview, she was told by her then-manager that Cosby had interpreted their interaction as “lesbian” and as a result “had made it his business” to warn other television shows that Ian wasn’t “suitable family entertainment” and “shouldn’t be on television” because of her sexuality, thus attempting to blacklist her. Although Ian would later come out, she states that at the time of the encounter with Cosby she had only been kissed once, by a boy she had a crush on, in broad daylight at summer camp.

    “Fly Too High” (1979), produced by disco producer Giorgio Moroder, was Ian’s contribution to the soundtrack of the Jodie Foster film Foxes and was also featured on Ian’s 1979 album Night Rains. It also became another international hit, reaching number one in many countries, including South Africa, Belgium, Australia, Israel, and the Netherlands, and going gold or platinum in those countries and others.

    Another country where Ian has achieved a high level of popularity in Japan: Ian had two Top 10 singles on the Japanese Oricon charts, “Love Is Blind” in 1976 and “You Are Love” in 1980. Ian’s 1976 album After tonnes also topped Oricon’s album chart in October 1976. “You Are Love (Toujours Gai Mon Cher)” is the theme song of Kinji Fukasaku’s 1980 movie Virus. Ian cut several other singles specifically for the Japanese market, including 1998’s “The Last Great Place”.

    Ian writes science fiction. A long-time reader of the genre, she became involved in science fiction fandom in 2001 by attending the Millennium Philcon. Her short stories have been published in anthologies and she co-edited, with Mike Resnick, the anthology Stars: Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian, published in 2003. She continues to occasionally attend science fiction conventions. Ian performed at the 2009 Nebula Award Conference in Los Angeles, where she sang “Welcome Home,” a version of her song “At Seventeen” with the lyrics changed to talk about the acceptance she found by reading science fiction.
