She is one of my favorite performers. She is in the class of barbara streisand, dolly parton,and celine dion. She is one of the most talented singers in the known world. It was written somewhere , she has 3 1/2 octaves of vocal range. I dont know for certain, but i dont doubt it.
Wonderful - from a time when music was produced by serious musicians! Does anyone by any chance listen to The Golden Years on Saturday mornings on the digital station peterborough fm com? The presenter was playing this this morning - so great to hear someone playing lovely old melodies and not the same old stuff many oldies stations churn out repeatedly. Love both this and the station too.
was one of our music appreciation songs when i was in 7th grade,ty mr mantz,you were a good teacher,i fell in love with true music in those days.have won alot of pizza,too,lol
What, no more Judy. I think I have a copy off everything she sang. All the artists of her time sang each others sons. Each put their own personality on them, that's not really copying.
This song just came in my head this morning. Thank you Google and Youtube for helping me find it. Joni's original is nice, but this is majestic. Thank you so much.
@estilkind look at version by Hayley Westenra ...she is one of the best singers ever, if you don't know her you will be suprised...grat singer, great man...
One of the few renditions where a massive singer's ego doesn't get in the way of shared emotion. If only it had been slower paced and less obviously "pop" oriented. The young Judy Collins had uniquely, beautiful, warm and honest voice. Without all the showy frills of the period "stars" performances. Streisand, Bassey, et al, never held a candle to Collin's wonderful purity and expression. They all sound so completely frivolous. arrogant and artificial in comparison. Clowns, if you like.
Lately I have Judy Collins on my mind as she is going to be performing in Bremerton WA on Stage This January 27, 2012. You can get tickets for on her website, they only cost $5.00. I plan on going. Shaun Thomas
Long after I am dead and buried ,this song shall be listened to for generations to come.One could pay $.69 .I would pay alot more for that for immortality.If I had any talent.
Very pretty song. Good old hippie time with soft rock evolving like this. You can't beat this. If someone asked me how soft rock started, Id put this on...
My father took two cassette tapes to Vietnam with him in 1969...one was of classical music, the other was this. He played the hell out of both. In the late 90s, Judy Collins played a concert at my university, and I was able to take my parents to see her. Wonderful show, and afterwards, I got her autograph for my father on the program. First time I ever saw my dad cry.
My Wife picked this for our wedding song. The band couldn't play it so, the record was put through the speaker system in the hall. That meant that played all through the church not just for us. :-). Haha, that was 41= years ago.
I like Judy, but she just can't sing this song like Joni. When Joni sings it I believe her, I feel it. Judy's version seems poppy, childlike in comparison.
great joni mitchell song with the words --- the are alot of good singers---- j collins high maintenance---- having worked in the h leventhal office of the 60's----
This version blows the doors off the Joni Mitchel version. Judy's voice is just amazing, and the arrangement is superb, especially the little harpischord bits. Joni's version just seems watered down after hearing this.
@pistolpete308 As "Joni" wrote the song, and as she was never writing or recording music to make it to Casy Kasem's Top 40, I'd say your opinion is what 'seems watered down'...
God how I miss the simplicity and innocennce of the 60s i am saddened that the youth of today will never know what it was like to be able to trust so easily.I iss those days :(
Well, they will by wathcing YouTube. THAT, my friend is the magic of this, introducing today's kids who just MIGHT stumble across this..regarding this verison, the final refrain IS different form the one I have: Judy sings here "from give and take", rather than"from win and lose'.
This arrangement was made by Joshua Rifkin, who is one of the foremost Bach scholars in the field of musicology, and renowned conductor of historically-informed Bach performances. He also created the "Baroque Beatles" album.

This is my earliest musical memory! I am convinced I can remember this song playing out of a leather-bound transistor radio in our living room when I was 2 or 3 years of age, 1969 or 1970.
@pmathew27 joni's version from the miles of aisles live album is much better than this; it is introspective. The harpsichord is very annoying and the drummer pounding at 2:35 is irksome. This version would be helpful for anyone trying to memorize the words, because it races thru the song.
@pmathew27 no disrespect meant ,but Joni wrote the song and i love her version more because she meant every lyric and produced the sound plus more heartfelt ,,Judy just copied and helped by freinds ..Joni is the Author and still the best ,,send complaints to Anderson Cooper,
I was so lucky to see & meet Judy last night at a book signing for her new book & CD at a book store in La Verne, Calif. She spoke about her life, her marriage & of Stephen Stills who was her boyfriend in the 1960's. She sang a little bit (without guitar) (this song) & a few others. Her voice is still beautiful! Bought her new book & CD & had a chance to talk to her for a few minutes & she signed them. A lof of people there so couldn't talk too long but she was so nice; very sweet lady!
timeless song, wonderful singer (i love joni mitchell as well, of course). describes my situation perfectly. we all grow up! love and peace to you all :)
I was visiting my mom and dad the other day and this song came on the radio at their home. It brought tears to my eyes. My mom saw me, smiled and said, When you were a baby we had to turn the radio off when this song came on or you would start crying until the song was over. 44 years later this song still tears me up.
A true classic from November 1968 I was in the 5th grade .The original single version is now available on the The very Best of Judy Collins, Released in 2002. If you haven't checked it out it sounds great. You will notice the difference in the vocals.
@laejnaek Why is it that Lady Gaga reminds some of us-with an appreciation for music - of a young Phyllis Diller.?Nothing against Diller. She did what she did best: - comedy. She was under no illusions@ winning massive amounts of Grammys' !
@SuperJohnnyjoe I think this is a great, insightful comment of this classic by Joni Mitchell. Listen to the YouTube vid from 1966 of Joni singing at the "2nd Fret" where she cites the book she was reading and the quote about the both sides of a cloud that inspired her developing the idea and composing this song. Judy Blue Eyes, certainly great but, aah, Joni and her beautiful poet's creative soul!
I love Joni Mitchell and this is her best song. Judy has an amazing recording of this song. Just a quick something... it was commericially released in 1968 by Judy. It was written by Joni in 1967 and her recording was released in 1969.
@chillichomper I have a very similar connection with this song! My mom used to play this song on tape in the kitchen while cooking and doing laundry. Brings back great memories. :-)
yeah i too heard this song during the late 1970s when disco ruled but knew it was a retro song that was over 10 years old at the time and that was SO OLD back then. lol
i think i probably heard this as a very young child and i still like it now and also did during the late 70s when i was very congnizant of the music around me. no one is stopping this from being heard except radio programmers who play black '60s music all the time.
@sidDkid87 Don't group Lady Gaga and Britney Spears together, one is about 794 times more talented than the other. If you don't know which is which, listen to them and you'll figure it out.
songs back then on the most part had great lyrics...with intelligent messages..whether it be love...politics...life...or views...and as far as bickering on here...im in here to enjoy great music...not critique....
Well, not to pee on everyone's corn flakes, but in this song you can already hear the SERIOUS vocal problems Collins developed later on. She has such a charming voice, but she is already wandering off pitch.
@grimmpoxer No one's suggesting autotune. The fact is, Collins has had vocal problems over much of her career and they're clearly audible even here, relatively early in her career. The solution isn't software. The solution is good vocal technique.
A place in time that society forgot . . . . when music was cool, groovy & innocent and lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled . . . unlike today ~ how they serve our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip hop- are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting into hot water with the law - WHAT kind of CRAPis that ??? Just another example of the deterioration of the very fabric that holds us up.
I was in the Semnary(1957-1965) and remember well this music and the introduction of STEREO in the early sixties! They were good days, but I'm happier than ever now in the 21st Century...and that's not because of today's music necessarily! A retired Catholic priest.
retired now she has stopped singing which is probably just as well

@chillichomper I have a very similar connection with this song! My mom used to play this song on tape in the kitchen while cooking and doing laundry. Brings back great memories. :-)

I think I heard this song for the first time in about 1978. I didn't know it was an older song. Funny, it always cheers me up and makes me smile.

yeah i too heard this song during the late 1970s when disco ruled but knew it was a retro song that was over 10 years old at the time and that was SO OLD back then. lol
i think i probably heard this as a very young child and i still like it now and also did during the late 70s when i was very congnizant of the music around me. no one is stopping this from being heard except radio programmers who play black '60s music all the time.

@sidDkid87 Don't group Lady Gaga and Britney Spears together, one is about 794 times more talented than the other. If you don't know which is which, listen to them and you'll figure it out.

Nicely done. I am sure the royalties from this cover kept Joni in cigarettes for some time.

Well, not to pee on everyone's corn flakes, but in this song you can already hear the SERIOUS vocal problems Collins developed later on. She has such a charming voice, but she is already wandering off pitch.

@davidhalldurham Yes, and Clapton flubs something on Crossroads. Would this be better with an auto-tune?
grimmpoxer 4 months ago
@grimmpoxer No one's suggesting autotune. The fact is, Collins has had vocal problems over much of her career and they're clearly audible even here, relatively early in her career. The solution isn't software. The solution is good vocal technique.

@davidhalldurham My point is that, warts and all, this is a spectacular piece of music. If anything, the human imperfection makes it better.

This is the singer and the song that changed my whole life, I hope I can meet Ms Collins someday and tell her about that before I die.
I love every albums of Ms Collins, but "Wildflowers" is the most important, it means so much to me...

A place in time that society forgot . . . . when music was cool, groovy & innocent and lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled . . . unlike today ~ how they serve our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip hop- are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting into hot water with the law - WHAT kind of CRAPis that ??? Just another example of the deterioration of the very fabric that holds us up.

I was in the Semnary(1957-1965) and remember well this music and the introduction of STEREO in the early sixties! They were good days, but I'm happier than ever now in the 21st Century...and that's not because of today's music necessarily! A retired Catholic priest.
