The fact that McGuinn and Jacques Levy chose to name her after the notorious North Vietnamese radio personality/propagandist might well be because her primary profession in the song appears to have been prostitution. It's a story that became increasingly familiar as troops departed Vietnam a Vietnamese 'girlfriend' now left on her own when her GI went home. Hanoi Hannah is from his initial, eponymous solo LP. The Byrds were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.ДЄfter the original Byrds broke up, McGuinn recruited new personnel. Tambourine Man and the group's other #1, Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season) would both go in the Grammy Hall of Fame. When the album's title track shot to #1 in the summer of '65, folk-rock was born. Tambourine Man,' and Bob Dylan's electric/acoustic arrangements of his songs at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival were key events in creating a new sound to compete with the British Invasion. This led to an association with like-minded artists such as Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman and Mike Clarke, the original line-up of The Byrds. In 1964 McGuinn began playing folk music in more of a rock style. His proficiency on five-string banjo and six and twelve-string guitar made him a much-in-demand sessions player and back-up singer for artists such as Judy Collins, Bobby Darin, The Limeliters and The Chad Mitchell Trio. Co-founder with Gene Clark of The Byrds, James McGuinn (he later changed his name to 'Roger') was born on July 13, 1942.
