Vera Johnson

Vera Johnson (June 13, 1920 – November 9, 2007) was a Vancouver folk singer-songwriter and author. She was known for creating original songs on a variety of topics, some of them controversial, including religion, sex, divorce, censorship, liberation, politics, and family. In an autobiographical essay, Johnson recounts how she learned to sing and play music in 1949, and how she viewed her writing, whether through music, short stories, or plays, as a means for political change. Her song "The Fountain" described the "hippie protests" of 1968 Vancouver. Source: Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
