Vocalist: Janis Ian.

Inside Scoop: After six years away from the music business, Stars gave Janis her career. "I stopped because I was writing rubbish. I went away to find out if I could ever be the kind of writer I wanted to be. I wrote "Stars" one night during 1971, and decided I had a shot."
Having finished that, she moved from Philadelphia to California, where she wrote "Jesse," a song she'd begun at the age of thirteen as an elegy to a Vietnam vet. Despite the quality of her writing, Janis couldn't get a recording contract to save her life until Herb Gart convinced Festival Records, Australia, to put up the money for this album. She teamed up with Brooks, who had engineered "Society's Child," and moved from California to Blauvelt to be near Brooks' studio.
She got her contract with Columbia when Charles Koppelman took a chance and sent her to Nashville to perform at CBS Records' annual meeting, saying, "If you can get a standing ovation from these guys, you're signed." She did.
