American composer, singer, and collector of traditional ballads. Called the "Dean of American Balladeers", Niles was an important influence on the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, with Joan Baez, Burl Ives, and Peter, Paul and Mary, among others, recording his songs.Sy Scholfield quotes Ron Pen, "I Wonder as I Wander: The Life of John Jacob Niles" (University Press of Kentucky, 2010), p. 18: "Just ten months after her wedding, Lula delivered her first-born son at her parents' home on 121 North Twentieth Street [in Portland, now part of Louisville, Kentucky]. On the morning of April 28, 1892, at 2:20 A.M., John Jacob Niles entered the world, crying out with a voice that would someday be characterized as the 'electrifying C# alto.'"
