My goodness. People usually lose that power or presence as they age, but this is just absolutely amazing. She has only gotten more amazing as time has gone by.
Nobody can sing this song like Judy Collins. She sounds the same as she did 50 years ago! She has aged very gracefully... Thank you so much for your years, Judy this is still beautiful and it brings tears to these eyes.
I used to listen to this with my father when I was 5. That was 45 years ago. He's gone but I still have the memory and the LP vinyl record. It still sounds just as good on my turn table with the diamond studio stylus. When I play it I can return to that moment 45 years ago. Thank you for your timeless gift to all of us.
I've had tickets for her for the last 3 years. (hurricane canceled it last year), and last Saturday night I checked off another thing on my "Bucket List" and saw her Iin Lenox Mass. (Tangelwood). She's 83. with a new very short haircut, and just miraculous performance.
If amethysts could sing - what an amazing observation. She definately makes this song a living entity. I love Streisands cover, but this is even more eclectic. A magical performance.
That's priceless! Thanks, and may I quote you? There's only Julie Covington comes close. As a very lapsed Catholic who doesn't know what to do any more I find it strange and ironic that I am drawn to influence from two marvelous persons whose initials are JC.
Judy Collins was born in Seattle, Washington on May 1st, 1939. She is a Grammy Award-winning American singer and songwriter with a career spanning over 60 years. She is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she records (which has included folk music, show tunes, pop music, rock and roll and standards) for her social activism, and for the clarity of her voice. Collins has released 28 studio albums, 4 live albums, numerous compilation albums and 4 holiday albums. Today, May 1st, 2021, she is celebrating her 82nd birthday. UPDATE: She is now 83 (May 1st, 2022). Now 84 (May 1st, 2023)
I took my mom to see Judy Collins perform when she came to our city. Her performance of this song was nearly identical to this video. At her age to still have that voice is basically unheard of. She's still as good as she ever was. They'll never be another one like her.
Joan Baez is still the best along with Dolly Parton, not to forget Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris. I loved Judy Collins but when she became older her voice changed dramatically and she had a hard time keeping tune. So be careful who you think is the best. The others I mentioned could sing in so many different times and pitches. I was disappointed when Ms. Collins lost her beautiful tone and key when singing. Play another song when she is eve
Face of an angel, voice of one too. In this dying world as the great tribulation draws near I'm so glad I grew up when the world was beautiful and singers like Judy were there.
Wow... Your cousin still has a beautiful voice and just as striking in looks... A beautiful lady, and we all know that beauty is way more than skin deep... I read somewhere that her voice and songs gave solace to soldiers in the meat grinder that was Viet Nam... I was too young for that, but I did serve.
Do you know what orchestra this is? The piano player looks familiar and I've seen him around before but some of those orchestra players look like they're young enough to be college students
A TYPICAL 1970s Masterpiece...... i loved this when i was nine years old....i am 58 now...and this is making me cry writing this....remembering my childhood......i AM SO PROUD i was a 70s Child.........a magical joy that has never faded.......
Oh my! I have been researching information about this song, to no avail. I learned this song during my elementary grades. I taught it to my granddaughter who is now 18 years old. I hope someday I someone would come out to share some info about the origin of this song.❤❤❤
J'ai honte de le dire mais je découvre aujourd'hui même cette merveilleuse chanteuse ! Whaouuu !!!! Je ne sais pas si elle est encore parmi nous, elle a 84 ans depuis le 1er mai 2024, je l'espère en bonne santé et vais écouter son œuvre pour rattraper un peu mon terrible retard.....🙏
This was one of my mom's favorite songs and favorite singers she passed away in 2017 my 28-year-old son Jeremiah passed away in 2021 from alcoholism at the age of 28 my 40-year-old daughter is having a major struggle right now with alcohol please pray for us thank you and thank you Judy❤😇🐸🙏🙏🙏❤
Each time I hear this, I shed a tear or two. Her voice is so angelic. To know the meaning is even more heart breaking. Love you Judy and thank you for years and years of all your beautiful music.
for years I loved the song, but had no idea really what is was about---then one night I studied the song...and wow- it is so complex and sad. Learn the story if you have not.
I've loved her choice of songs and angelic voice since I first heard her sing this on the radio way back then. I was a teen then, and was surprised her Birthday was the same as mine, May 1. Would dance and exercise to her songs for years back then, then lost touch with her and her songs. Wasn't until I was like 50 that I stumbled upon her again. Still has the voice of an angel, that's for sure.
I hate musicals, but love this song, and can think of no one better suited to sing it than Judy Collins. For an older lady, she sounds damn good here. I'm impressed!!! LL
I am probably as a grizzled of an old coot as you, nothing wrong with tears. I am also an 82nd Airborne medic who held people in my arms as they left this world, wish they could have herd this song instead of looking at my ugly mug. So much pain. Stay Well!!!
She has such an incredible voice - have loved her voice since she sang folk, and here we are now as "olds" but still her voice is so pure and beautiful.
When Judy Collins first came to most people's attention with Amazing grace I had never heard a voice so pure and clear. Then here we are over fifty years later and the purity, beauty and timing are still there. An amazing talent that we have been lucky enough to witness for ourselves. Thank you Judy.

My goodness. People usually lose that power or presence as they age, but this is just absolutely amazing. She has only gotten more amazing as time has gone by.
my thoughts exactly. she adds the experience of time - phrases it perfectly and doesn't have anything to prove. her voice has aged like fine wine
I read that she has kept taking voice lessons and has larger range now then when she was younger!!!
Dear Sir:
Smoke&Mirrors….
But she is a Star... do you forget??
Just like old wine: "maturity" enhances the overall quality... we agree with your every word!
This lady is in a class all by herself. The Angels in Heaven take lessons from her. 🙏❤👼
Nobody can sing this song like Judy Collins. She sounds the same as she did 50 years ago! She has aged very gracefully... Thank you so much for your years, Judy this is still beautiful and it brings tears to these eyes.
Judy is so wonderful! :)
Sure, only Judy can sing this song like Judy. But Streisand's version, TO ME, is even more moving.
Tears still streaming after 50 years.
Like listening to angels singing
Heaven on earth.
this is a song made for the brave !
A wonderful rendition by a beautiful lady.
She really took care of her voice over the years. She still sounds beautiful.
Taking care of your voice, remembering vocal technique---The DEAL.
Even better, just listened to a recording when she was much younger. That was good but this is great.🎉
The woman ages with grace✨
She hasn't lost a bit of her voice. This is absolutely amazing!! I remember hearing this song as a child. I'm now 57. What a gift.
Saw her this past summer, but she didn't sing this one. I've seen her twice, thankfully. Now she has short hair.
Praise to Judy, but also to the cellist with that wonderful opening.

Just stunning at age 82. His light is shining on her.
ALSO 82, I AGREE
Bill beautiful analysis.
It’s been said that if amethysts could sing, they’d sound like Judy Collins. Stunning and beautiful!

My mother was a professional clown, this was her favorite song. It was played at her funeral.
I would bet your mom was the sweetest girl!

Happy belated birthday, sweet Judy. Love your work and passion ❤✌
Thank you. Buetiful.
So beautiful. Sondheim was so lucky to have this lady sing his song.
Thank you for a wonderful song.
A good voice, she could and others like her can skip social activism we don't need their leftist plaver.
Judy Collins is a Legend, National Treasure Absolute Icon
One of THE most magnificent voices of my time.
Indeed 🙏
This song immediately starts to remind you of people you have lost. This is an amazing song.
Wow ... Judy is one of those rare talents whose voice has remained virtually (remarkably) unchanged. Send in the Clowns will always be hers.
To me, It is the most beautiful love song ever, and performed by an angel.
Her voice hasn't aged, if anything it is richer and more beautiful.
So true! The production quality and halo effect are so heart felt and sincere as clear as her lovely voice! 🎉
God given talent.
mesmerized by the oboe solo and the lovely Judy Collins. Still wonderful to hear.
Wow that Oboe was killing perfect!
Cor Anglais, similar to but deeper in pitch than the oboe.
@@keeshond8 thank you, I just discovered it was the EH (English Horn)
Gorgeous and stirring of deep emotions.
My thoughts exactly.
Watching this is like 1967 all over again! All of us have aged -- but she is still the same.
totally agree. seeing her on 8/30/24 in Mass.
Judi Collins only gets better and better over time. Astonishing!
Where did the time go.. when music had true meaning.
I first heard Judy Collins over 45 years ago as a boy growing up and she still sounds great!
Agree. I've seen her recently. OMG, bill here
My late wife’s favourite! Always found the album Judith on the turntable when I got home. Miss you so much.
The first time I heard this I was blown away! Judy is the best!❣️❣️🌹🌹
I took my mom to see Judy Collins perform when she came to our city. Her performance of this song was nearly identical to this video. At her age to still have that voice is basically unheard of. She's still as good as she ever was. They'll never be another one like her.
I agree. Joan Baez, from the same era, still performs, but just sounds so much older... no clear voice anymore, when compared to Judy
Judith Durham held it together just as well, just not for quite as long.
How very true. 🎶🎶
Where did you goto see her, I when to her Nottingham concert. Love it x

Yes! So many beautiful singers. Judy, Joni Mitchell, Carole King...
She is a cousin of mine, always have enjoyed her music since I was very young. She is unwavering perfection
Wow... Your cousin still has a beautiful voice and just as striking in looks... A beautiful lady, and we all know that beauty is way more than skin deep... I read somewhere that her voice and songs gave solace to soldiers in the meat grinder that was Viet Nam... I was too young for that, but I did serve.
Truly unwavering perfection indeed! That is a marvelous insight! Judy is an icon and a pioneer! The color and timber is still beautiful!
Do you know what orchestra this is? The piano player looks familiar and I've seen him around before but some of those orchestra players look like they're young enough to be college students
Wow!
This song puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it. Steven sure knows how to pull at somebody's heartstrings
When my Grandfather took his last breath my Aunt played this for him per his request. So sad.
Must have been two precious people.
What an exquisite performance from Judy. Her voice has certainly not suffered from decades of performing. Beautiful!
There are no words to describe how I feel listening to this song.
A TYPICAL 1970s Masterpiece...... i loved this when i was nine years old....i am 58 now...and this is making me cry writing this....remembering my childhood......i AM SO PROUD i was a 70s Child.........a magical joy that has never faded.......
The orchestra is also amazing
How can she still sound like this?
What a Beautiful voice takes me back to those Hippie days and a sense of Love and Freedom I once felt. Thank you Judy ❤🩹
Present and correct
I have no words that would deserve to describe this beautiful voice
Exactly
Beat that. Brilliant.
never cared for this song back in the 70s. i didn't really understand the lyrics. i now have a new found respect for it. Its beautiful!
A special kind of human🎉
REST IN PEACE STEPHEN SONDHEIM.
Oh my! I have been researching information about this song, to no avail. I learned this song during my elementary grades. I taught it to my granddaughter who is now 18 years old. I hope someday I someone would come out to share some info about the origin of this song.❤❤❤
Spectacular yesterday, today & tommorow. 😎

Jesus Christ...I cried the entire song 😢😢 Magical, inspirational...a classic gem 💎
Nothing left to prove Ms Collins! Bask in it as I am.
Such a magnificently beautiful soul,love her always!!!❤❤❤
Those vocal chords have top quality genetics. Was mighty surprised by how intact her talent is. Rare. ✊
I am an old Vietnam vet. I fell in love with her voice sooo long ago. This song, this song oh my can't listen just once .. can't see to type any more
Awesome I used to listen to this song to find myself
beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Each time I hear this, I shed a tear or two. Her voice is so angelic. To know the meaning is even more heart breaking. Love you Judy and thank you for years and years of all your beautiful music.
Snap
Love
Beautiful
As good as it gets. True, humble professionals. Thank you.
Woah! Age has not done a thing to Judy’s voice. I cannot get over her vocal control. ❤
Paying respects to the brilliant Stephen Sondheim. Thank you for sharing your genius with us. We are the better for it, for you.
Perfect marriage of material and performer. A classic for all time.
The gray haired beauty who sings like an angel.
brings tears this one as well as well as judy dench's
That voice is so beautiful. It's like some other worldly sound.
Takes me back to my child hood, happier times.
for years I loved the song, but had no idea really what is was about---then one night I studied the song...and wow- it is so complex and sad. Learn the story if you have not.
She is special .... Gorgeous oboe soloing ...... Beautiful rendition. Thank you, Judy Blue Eyes.
Just what I remember from when we were all young.
Ms Collins, you are as beautiful now as you were 50 years ago. Such a wonderful song then and now.
The voice of an angel. Stunning
Agreed 👍👍👍👍
Such a sustained pure voice. Never needs to embellish to show off her range. Always peaceful.
God is her voice gorgeous
MAN I LOVED this performance! Judy is as wonderful now as she ever was! It is a pure JOY to watch!
STUNNING. Still beautiful.
I've loved her choice of songs and angelic voice since I first heard her sing this on the radio way back then. I was a teen then, and was surprised her Birthday was the same as mine, May 1. Would dance and exercise to her songs for years back then, then lost touch with her and her songs. Wasn't until I was like 50 that I stumbled upon her again. Still has the voice of an angel, that's for sure.
Who ever thought that a slow sad song could be so cool? She pulls it off quite well ! You go Judy !
Deeply moving!
Awesome and Beautiful Ms Collins❤
More beautiful than ever. The lady and her song.❤
She was last month when i saw here!
Just beautiful
I read someplace that her career has spanned SEVEN decades--amazing!
Gate of Horn in Old Chicago was the venue where I celebrated graduation and Judy Colins as the wonderful headliner June 1962.
thank you for the HAPPY TEARS and GREAT memories, Judy!
She still has it ! Keeping going too you hit 90 😃❤️😎🎉🙏🏻👍
WTH! Judy still sounds and looks amazingly beautiful!
loved this woman a long time! i am 80 now!
My Godess this is mum's and mine favourite song of our life. All due respect
to life - saving vocal.Wojciech.
I hate musicals, but love this song, and can think of no one better suited to sing it than Judy Collins. For an older lady, she sounds damn good here. I'm impressed!!! LL
From a 75 year grizzled old coot….the tears flowed. And freely.
I am probably as a grizzled of an old coot as you, nothing wrong with tears.
I am also an 82nd Airborne medic who held people in my arms as they left this world, wish they could have herd this song instead of looking at my ugly mug. So much pain.
Stay Well!!!
*Bless you. I'm 25 and know nothing about the world. This song and performance also brought me to tears.*
Bingo again
Curious... do coots come in non-grizzled?
@@akrenwinkle only those that are non-ursine.
Making a mark in my heart with a resounding thank you for your grace and truth!!!
Arguably the most beautiful version of this magnificent Stephen Sondheim song.
She has such an incredible voice - have loved her voice since she sang folk, and here we are now as "olds" but still her voice is so pure and beautiful.
saw her 2 months ago with short hair and a voice as good as ever if not better. beautiful lady doesn't say it well enough
Judy Blue Eyes ✌️
When Judy Collins first came to most people's attention with Amazing grace I had never heard a voice so pure and clear.
Then here we are over fifty years later and the purity, beauty and timing are still there. An amazing talent that we have been lucky enough to witness for ourselves. Thank you Judy.
