Howard Sounes  (born 1965 Welling, South East London, England) is a British author, journalist and biographer.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

A bit of serendipity occurred when Bob Dylan and Joan Baez appeared together at the 1963 Monterey Folk Festival singing a duet of a newly written song, “With God on Our Side” (which would appear on Dylan’s next album, The Times They Are A-Changin’).  The Festival was in the same month as the release of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.  Wikipedia states:  “Baez was at the pinnacle of her fame, having appeared on the cover of Time magazine the previous November.  The performance not only gave Dylan and his songs a new prominence, it also marked the beginning of a romantic relationship between Baez and Dylan, the start of what Dylan biographer [Howard] Sounes termed ‘one of the most celebrated love affairs of the decade’.”
