That's called Genius. It is truly amazing that she can go through so much in her life and still find a way to bring us such inspired Music. Unbelievable.
It's amazing to hear how speaking voice is almost nothing like her singing voice. When she talks, she sounds like the rough character her biography suggests, but when she sings she sounds like a choirgirl. One of the most talented musicians I've ever heard. Right up there with Nick Drake and Tim Hardin.
She doesn't sound so rough to me, maybe because I am not from the U.S perhaps, so I don't get the cultural accent stuff, or maybe because I have never done any coke ( what is a tweaker voice anyway, I am intrigued?) She speaks fast; she sounds very intelligent to me more than anything else.
@@SteveCournane I see your point--probably yes, her intelligence and probably yes, a bit of upper combined. A tweaker is a person who does speed, meth. Often talks very fast, somewhat inarticulately, though she is far from inarticulate here. But she was young! To someone from the US her speaking voice is kind of hick and street. Her singing voice is touched by God.
I don’t hear a rough voice at all. A voice that knows herself and knows her future which breaks my heart.. Judee was a beautiful but a lost soul. Her lovely came through her music but to hear her voice, my first time, doesn’t ring any kind of roughness at all.
@@kirstinpurcell6619 To me, her speaking voice is a surprise because it's so deep, compared to where her singing voice is pitched. She sounds worldly when she talks, and a bit churchy when she sings. Such an interesting contrast!
Oh, that's a beautiful phrase. But honestly, I think many of the overlooked but great singers are somewhat like that. Their songs never really turn to be popular, they sometimes just end up influencing some other bands, which may become popular if they appeal to a wider audience, but generally do not. It's hard to be great if you want to appeal to most people.
gorgeous Joni Mitchell must still, to this day, have a pang of guilt that she was the celebrated light of Laurel Canyon, when this lady was so far ahead of the game.
Who knows what Joni thinks given her determined drive to come back to her performing self after a long and well-covered career balancing with creative tension her materialist and spiritual sides (and nature's!). Tragically in my view, Judee Sill despite a storied sense of humor and especially of the absurd from her compositions, stage remarks about her songs and writings of her own kind of interior Christian Warrior battlefield died young. As though the world needed another martyr! See the theologians or the snake oil sales staff. I respect both Joni's willingness to show us her banal bourgeois desires, share the pain of giving up a baby daughter because she didn't have the money to raise her alone as well as Judee's hand to soul combat with her own inner demons of desire, yet to be attained.

Brings tears. Sad I only got to hear her music long after the Lady left us all hanging
Hearing the shouting admiration from the audience at the end makes me happy.
Judee you are untouchable, dear one!

Unbelievable.
Judee was the very best of them all.

You can really hear the tweaker/coke voice when she introduces this song--she had the real Christain struggle between sacred and profane.

How is she doing this?! All these rhythms and vocals. Lord, have mercy.
63 views?? Story of Judee's life - albeit a genius.
her piano playing is my favorite of any singer-songwriter in history oh and her voice and singing and lyrics and artistic and spiritual intent too
Gospel music, really
The voca larrangment on this on the studio version is awesome...Orgasmic voices gasp and coo in harmony
If she was ahead of her time, we're in good shape, but I fear she was just outside of time.

"Make my fear fuel, and the fuel high octane" Show me a better line!
Roy Stewart agreed!!
Help me judee.
Nevertheless Joni Mitchel lived long enough to receive the deserved honors and affection. This is not the case of Judee, unfortunately...
Hanoi Judee!
Gosple soup....
