- Judy Collins is the guest on Graham Nash's Cable TV interview program, from 1990. Judy on the piano is joined by Graham in singing the Randy Newman song she recorded back in 1966 for her In My Life album.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
God almighty, her voice is incredible, such clarity, tone and fabulous pitch..!! She sang at my small high school's graduation, what a treat. Her sister Holly Collins was a student there
Over half a century no one has been better than Judy Collins - no one!
I have loved Judy Collins and her beautiful voice for so many years..she has been an inspiration to me..every song she sings is magic to me..
😮
Undoubtedly one of the best performances ever given of one of the best songs ever written. So, so beautiful .
So agree! I never get tired of her voice or this song.
Judy Collins has such a sweet voice. Then add Graham Nash and you have a great rendition of a classic Randy Newman song.
FROM Fredtripod: Sitting in my house on the top of a mountain, listening to Judy Collins, with a glass of whiskey, lights off, feeding on old memories . . . I hate getting old . . . Thank you Judy for taking me back to my youth and all the hope and freedom that I once had. X
FROM vegantamales: Such a beautiful song, one of her absolute best. Thank you Judy.
A great performance of one of the greatest pop songs ever.
I don't think of Randy Newman as a writer of pop songs. He was, imo, more of a composer of art songs.
Legends all including Randy Newman.
It is incredible to watch and hear Judy and Graham Nash sing Randy Newman's masterpiece 24 years after she recorded it the first time for her album "In My Life" in 1966. It is 2014 now and 24 years ago this was recorded. Like her version recorded on New Years Eve 1967 on the Smothers Brothers, this is enchanting and extraordinary. This is an incredible rendition as is the elegant and mysterious performance from that glorious 1967 performance. Brilliant and timeless. I love you Judy!
Judy Collins voice is so lovely and pure there's almost no need for the piano
"In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty" .. Phil Ochs.
Just Gorgeous and Brilliant. Thank You for posting this.
Absolutely beautiful.
Voice of an angel.
Great song...Love your singing Judy Collins !
Just goes to show the beauty of when we examine our souls.
Brilliant !!! Shining star in the darkness, never heard this version !!!
I love you Judy, your voice brings joy to many people. Songs like this are immeasurably better than the pop crap being spewed out today. Though I'm sure Judy could make even that enjoyable.
She changed my life forever
One of my very
favorite vocalist....
from vsibirsky: Just watched a video of Judy in 1969. Well . . . she is even more beautiful as a mature woman and her voice has been watched over by the angels! Hearing Graham Nash sing with her makes me believe that every once in a while the sound of two special voices singing together reaches heaven with every note. Thanks for putting this here!
FROM sweinreich: Beautiful rendition of this Randy Newman classic. I feel that Judy has captured the emotion of the song as well as Bette Midler did in the film Beaches. I'm proud to say that Judy Collins and I graduated from the same high school in Denver, Colorado.
FROM JordanDurell: I heard this song a long, long time ago. Maybe during the summer of love? It stuck in the back of my mind, what a beautiful song. I hadn't heard it again until I heard it here on TH-cam. I LOVE TH-cam.
If I had to sing my way into heaven, I would want Graham Nash to sing harmony. I'd be let in, for sure.
Thanks for this, I often sing it when the world seems too grey
Sweet Judy ❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for posting that!
FROM gertbacktracks: Tears in my eyes . . . so much beauty . . . so much love . . . it's heartbreaking. THIS music will live on.
LOVE IT
The Phil Ochs quote was possibly from the album cover to Pleasures of the Harbor. If you are unfamiliar with Phil Och's work, please get to know him. This song is by Randy Newman.
duh. ya fuckin dummy
FROM muizeekphanahtic: The smooth/silky vocals of Judy Collins were definitely suited for a special ballad like this and was poignantly enhanced by the hushed/aching vocals by Graham Nash. Two 60s musical icons who defined their times as much as the politicans/athletes did. The piano playing is syrupy sweet & the harmonies are exquisite/captivating. A really unique performance. I only wish it was available on CD.
Judy graduated from my high school (East High School) in Denver.
Gorgeous!
Spectacular
FROM matthewf335: I remember Judy from way back in 1964. You're right, there was a lot of hope and freedom back then; interesting thing is that I haven't lost it. Fact is, I've got more of it now than I had back "in the day." I don't miss being 18; was too damned painful. I thank my Father for where I am now. I wish it could have been an easier ride, but it's been worth it . . . and people like Judy and CSN and the Muppers (!) have all made it a gas! Sorry for rambling on like this . . .
Beautiful cover of a beautiful song. Thx for posting
natural justice !
Now 75, I remember someone back in the day saying JC was a "wanna-be". I introduced the lady to the truth about JC.
FROM Mindsheartspeak: I must that clicking through the videos with Judy Collins is addicting! It is 12:16 a.m. where I am, but I want to listen more! Watch more! Thanks so much to the one who has posted her performances. You're an angel yourself. :-)
FROM pinkkouw: Oh . . . this is so beautiful . . . I have tears in my eyes -- trying not to drop them on my keyboard. The lyrics and the voices of Judy and Graham -- for me this is all that music ought to be.
Ultimately, this song deserves a level of sobriety and dourness, completely lost within this version.

Ditto... wonderful! Thank you betahifi for posting... and thank you Nate for sharing, furthering my acquaintance with Judy Collins.
from eloisecm: Wonderful. One of my favourite Randy Newman songs. Judy Collins voice suits this perfectly. . . .
FROM reeltime4us: Beautiful song! Judy Collins has an amazing ability to pick a great song and perform it better than almost anyone. Talent, beauty and class! Judy is second to none.
I know it's a year since you put this here, but can you tell me where you got the quotation from?
Seems so apt now.
She doesn't need Nash help.
The piano is not in sink with the song...
Flowing going. Not gowna.
I like Judy Collins, but I don't particularly like this rendition. This song as written is a sarcastic and desperately sad statement on humanity. I don't think she and Nash capture it's real meaning.
Paul Andrew its a juxtaposition. Two conversations two choices in how to be. And then the reality of the moment. “Think it’s gonna rain today”.
Most people do not realize this
Way too busy piano for the song and she misses the main internal rhyme structure of the song. Might be pretty, but it is a pretty butchering...
Sweet Judy…❤️
