Patti Smith One of rock's great female icons, Smith is perhaps most widely known for the song "Because the Night," which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen, who also had a successful recording of the song. Often called "Punk's Poet Laureate", she integrated the Beat poetry performance style with garage-band Rock & Roll, incidentally introducing 19th century French poetry to American teens, while her androgynous public persona and unladylike language defied the Disco era.
