 Dobson became part of the active folk-revival scene in Toronto, performing in local coffee houses and at the Mariposa Folk Festival.She later moved to the United States where she performed in coffee houses across the country and recorded several albums, including 1962's "Bonnie Dobson at Folk City", which contained her well-known song "Morning Dew".Dobson has consistently questioned Tim Rose's right to a co-writing credit for "Morning Dew" (stating that Rose first heard it as sung by Fred Neil) (1964 album "Tear Down The Walls", crediting Dobson).
