For five years she was a member of the cast of "Sesame Street." With her "I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again" album (1967), containing the classics "Soulful Shade of Blue" and "Sometimes When I Get to Thinkin'" she brought about a folk-country meeting of the minds, and ever since then, with a series of albums that now numbers 18, she has continued to explore own heritage musically and has remained a legendary figure in the Native American community. She won an Academy Award Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for the song "Up Where We Belong."
