Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter and poet, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century music. He helped define folk-rock with songs like Blowin’ in the Wind and Like a Rolling Stone. His lyrics — rich in social commentary, storytelling, and literary depth — have earned him a Nobel Prize in Literature (2016). Over a career spanning six decades, Dylan has constantly reinvented his sound, blending folk, rock, gospel, and blues.
