I use to have a crush on Judy when I was a kid. I remember she made cameos on Sesame Street.

I absolutely love this song. I was driven to find the history behind it, and honestly, I cannot get the connection between the song and the play. In my mind, this has always been two people involved in the theater, and one becomes gravely ill. The other has to fly in on a plane for the visit, comes into the hospital, looks into room after room, and finally finds the right one, but finds the friend passed away. Am I the only one who thought that, or something similar, or are there others?

I went to see Buffo the clown in 1975. He was a mime and at the end of his show, the only words he spoke, he sang this, and to this day the most amazing version I ever heard other than Judy herself.

It came off a Judy Collins' 1975 album "Judith" along with another nice track The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

Back in he 70's my then boyfriend and I went to a concert that Judy did and when she sang this song we looked at each other and both wept great tears of joy and sadness. It is now nearly fourty years later and I still have the same reaction. Absolute perfection!

Back in the 70's, I was lying in bed on a Sunday morning and this was played on the radio. I distinctly remember sitting up in bed and saying, "OMG!". (I had never heard the song before.) THIS is the definitive version of this song. Fabulous!

As Carly Simon would say "Nobody does it better".
