Judy Collins


Last evening. Jimmy Webb opened great songwriter not a great singer. Judy at 71 or so can still amaze with the voice of a generation. Talked about being at Albert grossman's house in Woodstock for a party young bob was there and in the middle of the night she heard sounds from a room in the basement and got up to investigate and she heard him composing mr tambourine man. Chilling. Then of course she sang it. Her latest disc bohemian I think is the title is just great.

Rp - thanks for sharing. We are contemporaries, you and I. The music will never be that way again. Not to say there's no great music being made today but those were some exciting years.
Ghosthouse, if by contemporaries you mean approximately 60 years of age with 45 or more years of loving music, I agree.
Her original 1967 recording of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" (not the re-recording she did some time later) has always been high on my list of all time favorite popular recordings.

"Both Sides Now" is a true gem!

I also like Neil Diamond's version on his "Gold" collection from back in those days.
