Bob Dylan is arguably the most consequential artist of the the early 1960s through today. Researching his history and trying to understand his genius taken hundreds of writers and hundreds of books to just scratch the surface. It has been estimated that his hundreds of songs have been recorded by over 6,000 artists and he won the Nobel Laureate Prize for Literature! (2016). Part of the Nobel Prize citation states it was awarded to him “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Many book authors were outraged that the award went to "a simple songwriter" but that just underscored what a profound impact Dylan's extensive body of work has had and continues to have. I would seriously doubt he will ever be eclipsed. Dig in to the Dylan rabbit hole!

I love when people finally find Bob Dylan. I heard him back in high school and have been a fan ever since! He's the guy who decided that you didn't always have to sing love songs.

This song was recorded in 1965. The way he performed it in 1974 cued audiences that the song was about HIM. "How does it feel?" As Greil Marcus wrote, "It feels GOOD." Al Kooper plays the organ. He wasn't much of a keyboardist then and the producer wanted to take him off the recording but Bob said, "Turn it up!" and that organ sound became ubiquitous in 1965-66. Perhaps the greatest rock song ever.

Mike Bloomfield on guitar.

one of the best songs ever written ..

Bob Dylan used to be a socially conscious folk singer on acoustic guitar and harmonica, but with the release of this album he shifted to electric guitar. And in 1965, that was enough to change the future course of rock music. Songs shifted from teen interests like love ballads, surfing, dance parties, and so on, and turned toward more mature themes. Dylan and some of the Beatles became friendly, and the style of music by the Beatles changed. By 2 years later, 1967, rock music was very different, highly experimental, and breaking apart into multiple sub-genres, like psychedelic, hard rock, orchestral rock, and so on. So while it's hard to draw such a large transformation in culture back to a single point, this song is pretty close to being that point.

@@paulvecchio3949 Yes, and there are even references by the band, like Paul saying, "That's John doing his imitation of Dylan." Dylan and the Beatles actually first met in mid 1964, so I suppose the influence could have gone both ways, with maybe the Beatles inspiring Bob to pick up the electric guitar. That seems likely. Songs John wrote in what he called his "Dylan period" were "I'm A Loser," "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "Norwegian Wood," "Yer Blues," and more. Some of those songs are in that transitional period for the Beatles, with "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver," where there were signs their sound was changing. Another note on their changing style is when the Beatles toured America they spent a lot of time listening to US radio.

Bob Dylan came from a folk background. As a result his song sounded like rap to you because folk is very wordy and Bob Dylan is an amazing poet. If you are calling it rap Bob Dylan would be the best rapper ever. He changed history dramatically. Pretty much every band you've listened to on this channel looks at Dylan as a songwriting God. Dire Straits guitarist/singer/songwriter Mark Knopfler said Dylan was clearly the most important songwriter in his life. Lennon and McCartney gushed over Dylan. He is a bigger than life rock star and his catalog is massive.

A delight, Sarah, to hear and see your pleasure in discovering Dylan! I’m 74 and have deeply admired Dylan since I was in high school. I named my son after him. As a teenager, he fell in love with rap. When he was older, I often told him that Dylan was the first rap artist. I’m very happy to see another generation enjoying him!

Such a lovely lady and I love you voice when you sang along a little bit, so beautiful and clear.

it warms my heart to listen to hearing bob for the first time. carry it forward to your peers......

This was when he went electric and freaked out all of his folk fans. Nobody ever told Bob what to play.

A tip for you: When listening to Bob it really helps to have the lyrics in front of you

Nobel laureate Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, is worth listening to. He's been playing and writing, and recording and touring, for well over 60 years. It's a pleasure for me, even a gift, to listen to him.

Respect to you Sarah, because you understood the song's story after hearing it only once. I first heard this song hen I was 15 years old. I had not heard anything this good before. This song alone puts Bob Dylan at the pinnacle of Pop music.

“The fall from grace , isn’t it?” Exactly the sentiment.

Yes, she got it!

Are you serious? He's world known for more than 60 years. I love your reactions btw.

I am 74 and was and first heard Dylan at 16 years. He an artist and a genius. He claims that he can't write songs like that anymore because it was purely magical. There has to be something magical that put those lyrics in his head. I will never get tired of his music.

Bob Dylan’s music helped change the world. It was an extraordinary Time in our human history.

Bob Dylan is a legendary songwriter poet starting in the 60's. So many great songs such as "Blowin' In The Wind", "Don't Think Twice It's Alright", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Shelter From The Storm", "Lay Lady Lay" etc. The 60's group The Byrds covered a lot of his songs. In 1988 Bob Dylan joined the supergroup the "Travelling Wilburys" which included George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison & Tom Petty.

Also, Hendrix's version of "All Along The Watchtower" and Olivia Newton-John's cover of "If Not For You" are two of the best Dylan remakes.

Tangled up in Blue is my personal favorite.

This was gorgeous seeing her reaction to hearing him for the first time.

Awww brought a tear to my eyes watching Sarah enjoy Bob Dylan

It's always nice to see your open-mindedness towards different music and how you can enjoy it.

Well done, Sarah. This is another endless and teriffic direction you can take your channel. You started with one of his best but there are many more and many sides to Bob Dylan. Thank you for Like A Rolling Stone.

It breaks my heart that anyone hasn’t heard of Bob Dylan!!!!!! Thank you for putting this out there

I just came across your video accidentally, but I so much enjoyed sharing your discovery of Bob Dylan. Dylan has been a huge influence in my life since discovering him in 1963, when I was 17 years old, and he was still not well known. I so much enjoyed your open mind and heart as you listened to and clearly appreciated the message of his song. I probably know every word of this song, [and many others too,] but sharing this experience with you brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.

Probably the greatest song writer of all time. 😎

This ia the greatest song in Rock history, and Bob Dylan is probably the greatest and most important artist of the Rock era, and the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He began his career as a folk/rock singer but then changed the face of music forever when he went electric in 1965. Within a 15 month span in the 60's he release 3 of the most essential recordings of the 20th century: "Bringing It All Back Home", "Highway 61 Revisited" and"Blonde On Blonde", which expanded music both lyrically and technically wise. His importance CANNOT be overstated. Every artist that has followed has been influenced in some way by Dylan .The best way to experience Dylan as a newcomer is to listen by albums, not individual songs. However, some of his classics include for introductory purposes include: "Positively 4th Street", "Lay Lady Lay", "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall", "Blowin' In The Wind", "Girl From The North Country", "Mr. Tambourine Man ", "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright ", "Just Like A Woman ", "The Times They Are A Changin', "All Along The Watchtower", "Tangled Up In Blue", "Visions Of Johanna".

How is it possible to not of heard of Bob Dylan? Unbelievable!

I used to laugh at Dylan's voice when I was young, but his lyrics, his poetry is so moving. This is my favorite Dylan song. It's a comeuppance for the rich and haughty. A lot of ppl have this coming. "Once upon a time, ya dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"

One of the most powerful and generational defining songs ever. Still true today. A call for real ethics.

Early Dylan haha... I must have worn out several copies of the vinyl album on this. The poet singer songwriter we were all waiting for. A lot of his material was covered by others: The Byrds, Peter, Paul and Mary and Hendrix to name a few. Good one Sarah. ❤

I am 69, and remember this song on FM radio. Thanks for playing this. It felt great bringing back memories. And it hurts, for those same memories. To all my friends who have gone before me, we'll all party again someday.

Lowered 1951 Chevy with 6 speakers back in the day playing Dylan and cruising. Yes lots of Chicanos in the day loved music like Dylan and we road Like A Rolling Stone. Danm this is great music and so happy some younger kids love it too.

For my money this was the era when Bob was at his best.

Why should she have heard of him? She`s very young, after all.

I was hitchhiking around the U.S. a couple years in the early 70s. This was my anthem.

I wish I could hear this song for the first time again.

John Lennon stated Bob Dylan was the biggest influence on his song writing. Have you never heard of ‘Blowing In Wind’!
