Forsaking his college degree, Ochs moved to New York City in 1962 to join the burgeoning folk scene. Most well known as a topical singer-songwriter, Ochs was also an anti¿Vietnam War and civil rights activist, performing at countless rallies, benefits and marches (authoring the seminal anti-war song ¿I Ain¿t Marching Anymore¿). Ochs recorded three albums for Elektra Records before moving westward to Los Angeles and A&M Records. Ochs died, by his own hand, in Far Rockaway, Queens, in 1976.
