JUDY COLLINS - "Someday Soon" HD 1969

Judy Collins visits the Smothers Brothers to sing her hit version of Ian Tyson's beloved rodeo song. Providing back-up in Judy's band are Michael Sahl on piano, Susan Evans on drums and Gene Taylor on stand-up bass. Judy says she learned the song from Stephen Stills during the summer of 1968 when he was playing electric guitar for her Who Knows Where The Time Goes LP recording sessions out in L.A. This new, HD quality clip may take a few moments to download, but it is well worth the wait. Then you can watch it right through with no stops. And then watch it again!

Does anyone have a copy of her original record to add to YouTube? All these videos so far are disappointing variations/live recordings she (or others) made of her own song. I would like to listen to the original version as played on the radio.

@karpaydeeum Did you ever consider BUYING a copy. Probably cost you 99 cents on iTunes or Amazon. Then you can listen to it whenever and wherever you want.

[karpaydeeum]

@betahifi No need to take offense (as suggested by your emphasis using capital letters) just because I prefer her original record release to her live performances. To answer your question, yes - I have bought this song (on 45 and tape). I felt, however, that it would be convenient to listen to it on YouTube while on my computer where others would be able to enjoy it as well (which is why I made my post). Since your answer to my question would seem to be "no" you needn't have bothered.

@karpaydeeum Hi there! My concern was not that you prefer her studio recording of this song over her live performance. My concern, and it is Judy's too, is that so many people now expect that they should have access to all the studio recordings for free, with no royalties going to the singer or the songwriter. Even when it now costs less than $1 to go out and buy the song. I view this channel as a resource for viewing historical live performances, most of which are not commercially available.

[betahifi]

@betahifi And if they are commercially available, such as from one of Judy's DVD products, they are posted here with her approval. I know that there is a trend on this site to post audio clips of commercially available studio recordings. I have posted a couple of her new songs, but only as a way to generate interest in an entire new album. But I don't support making vast amounts of an artist's studio recording legacy, nor every cut from a new album, available for free.

It's neat that Tyson wrote it, if true. I love Ian & Sylvia ~ they also recorded a GL song or two.

I like to sing someday soon at a karaoke ~ I have the range for it, and not being a top 40 song, for most people, this is the first they've heard of it ! Hee Always loved Judy Collins in her soft and accurate elegant style. Wale on Judy, girl knows how to rock. Who knows where the time goes ?

Talent, Brains, Beautiful Blue Eyes, Great Legs and Sexy, what do you want??

3 guys love their damn old rodeo more than they love this song.

I second that emotion! Ms Collins is a truly unique talent. A beautiful lady...inside and out! Thanks for an articulate, intelligent & thoughtful comment! CHEERS!

@MeredithWaters Absotively! Too boot, Judy's been a political activist for time out of mind. No matter one's stance--if one keeps it civil, intelligent, and fair (which Judy appears to do)--I have to admire that.

A Populist,

<3!

[MeredithWaters]

@LitLBirdLitLBird Yes, I agree! To be honest I am not sure what LiLo really looks like LOL! And I do love Joni Mitchell as well. They are both unique, wonderful women, composers and singers that this world absolutely needs. <3

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

@MeredithWaters

Just so! When I see or hear Judy, I always think how insightful (watch some interviews!), compassionate, interesting and original she is. If I'd been drinking water when reading comparisons to "LiLo" (WTH?), I would have spit it out all over my monitor (or maybe have chosen to drown, LOL).

Joni's coattails? They're not the same--the world needs them both. Didn't Joni give "Both Sides Now" to Judy when Judy had a record contract and Joni, time was, did not?

<3!

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

@LuvSamanthaT Really?!,

<3!

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

@Dandulude4848 WHOA, lol... "Wha?" is right!,

<3.

I remember, way back in 1966, going down to New York City's Greenwich Village, to a little place called the "Cafe Wha?". Saw a Canadian duet called "Ian & Sylvia". They were absolutely great. This was their song. And during the intermission, we were invited "upstairs" to the Garick Theater where an unknown band called the "Mothers of Invention" were playing.
