"Favorite Color" by Joni Anderson. (Later Joni Mitchell) [View all]

Joni Anderson married fellow musical partner Chuck Mitchell in 1965. They were divorced two short years later and it appears she got custody of his name.

This predates that era of her life. Notice how much it sounds like her later song "Both Sides Now"

On edit:
This is apparently very soon after she left Saskatchewan and headed East to make it big in Toronto
