Genius Q&A
When did John Ford start making music?
Community Answer
John Ford's first song “The Broken Heart Act 1 Scene 1” released on January 1, 1633.
Not to be confused with the filmmaker by the same name, John Ford (1586-1639?) wrote essays and poetry before embarking on a successful career as a playwright in Jacobean England. He is best known for his incest tragedy ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore.
