Not really so, friend; some of us STILL sing 'em... if it's about the song and not about the money. There are songs lifting up ideas; songs against war; songs about friendship; songs about romance; ballards; songs of praise to God; songs of sadness and brokenness. What makes them alive is the living heart and mind of the singer. If you're truly involved in your song; if you really MEAN what you're singing and do it with a whole heart... even if it's with a frail and croaking voice, THAT'S what makes it alive, and draws others WITH you, into your song. I'm pushing 76, but I'm not through yet. Happy Valentine's ❤!

Pete Seeger was a hero of my father and is for me, too. It’s especially wonderful now to remember that we could be a people that aspire to love and peace.
This song always brings me to tears of gratitude. I used it as a fixing point when struggling to recover from addiction. It worked. Clean & sober 39 years now, but my eyes still fill up.

@@lyndafayesmusic You seem like a big fan! I am 65, and according to my NET, my vocal cords are in perfect shape, and I have been singing professionally nearly all of my life. It is in the way that you use them and take care of them. (Check out all of my music on TH-cam if you are curious.) Thanks and take care!

in Feb 1964, my daughter was born... Judy was singing at Middlebury college. I was working at a dairy practice. It seem that Judy was staying at my neighbor's house and they invited me over after her concert. We ended up picking and singing folk songs til early morning. brought Franci home next morning... who knew Judy would become such a big name.
I’m the same age as your daughter and this song played often in our kitchen where I grew up in NZ. Many don’t know it’s from the bible ,beautiful and so true
Lost too many people in the last 3 years. This song for my 63 yr old neighbor died of brain cancer last year. For Rosemary. I cry for you today. This is your song.
Judy’s voice was heavenly. I was fortunate enough to hear her in person 4 times in my life. There’s not a pop tart on earth that can match Judy Collins’ instrument.
She was my mom's favorite singer as well and I got to take her to a concert as a surprise. She didn't even know where we were going that evening and certainly didn't know Judy was in town. I sprung for the nicest balcony seats and it was the best money I ever spent. Her voice was outstanding. The quality hasn't lessened in the least.
2022 Judy Collins is still touring. Some shows, for example, at City Winery. AND she supported Joni Mitchell's return at Newport with Brandi Carlile in 2022 too.
I saw Judy 2 times in my life. It was in Lincoln Center in NYC and Tim Buckley was the opening act. Need I say more. But yes... It was on army reserve summer camp and a weekend break from Fort Drum. I stood at the entrance of a concert hall in Montreal and could choose "The World Of Sholom Aleichem" or Pete Seeger. And I chose Pete. The man was a"treasure"!

@@lyndafayesmusic no disrespect but I do not watch right wing propaganda media machines that spew out rubbish. They are designed to put blinkers on people's minds. I like to LEARN and be "uncomfortable". I get my news and information from MULTIPLE sources so I can nourish my "garden" (mind).
One morning in assembly in 1969 the Latin teacher accompanying himself on guitar and Miss Delve the maths teacher sang this in a duet, we were dead impressed.
Brought a tear to my eye as well. Though we will never hear another duet by Judy and Pete, I am happy that there are contemporary artists out there such as Brandi Carlile, who are writing beautiful and meaningful songs.
More now than ever I think. These two are the gold standard of folk music. In my opinion neither one will ever be equaled or surpassed by any other man or woman. Judy's voice is still angelic after 7 decades of performing. Remarkable
@@jm7804 Yes, Judy is amazing. I wish her many more songs. I was lucky enough to see Pete Seeger with Joan Baez many years ago in the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley. And I grew up with his records. Judy helped inform my teen years. All the best from overcast Vienna, Scott
Surely there’s a place for today’s artists to try and showcase their talents in a simple format like this. Could they do it? Judy and Pete could and are legends.

I come to listen to these folks sing that beautiful song when I’m wondering where we are heading, in our country. The simplicity of the melody and the beauty of the Bible verse remind me that, for a moment, truth and grace held hands together.
I had played Judy Collin's lullabies exclusively for my 1st new born baby 25+yrs ago. At that time, i knew nothing about Judy Collin, but i liked the voice and wanted my baby's early days to sleep in this sweet and pure voice. Up until now, I don't know what Judy Collin look like, but she looked just like what i had imagined. Her voice bring back many sweet memories when i was a new mother. Thank you! ❤

It was a time where individuality and freedom were starting to become more valued than the conformity and repression of the 50's. People wanted to get real. Yes, it's beautiful
Man, I love the way she tunes that guitar while simultaneously talking. No electronic tuner or 5th fret, just going off the open-string intervals. Pretty legit.

I cannot help but tear up every time I hear this exquisite song. And, listening to Pete at the end saying, "I could die tomorrow and I'd die happy, in a way, to think that other people are singing my songs..." A life long, and well lived for sure. Also, Judy Collins' voice is the voice of an angel. I had the wonderful opportunity to catch her in concert in Central Park in 1979 during a summer evening in NYC. Just fabulous.

Mid 70’s, going to a Bread and Roses concert at the Greek Theatre. As was typical of car congested North Berkeley, I was walking six blocks to the venue. As I entered the street that led downhill to the theatre I realized I was walking beside Pete. He was on the bill that evening and was strolling down from where he was staying at a friend’s house. We had a nice conversation about Berkeley architecture as we walked along.
What a treasured memory! I heard him when he toured with Arlo Gurthrie. I never met him, but I did meet Ronnie Gilbert, Holly Near (I was their temporary amateur roadie when they came to Oak Park) and Arlo.
Love this dear lady! We are so fortunate that she is still out there singing. This must take such discipline! With profound respect, and thankfulness!!
Now I understand why Stephen Stills wrote Sweet Judy Blue Eyes. I grew in Tampa FL with him. He was adopted by a wealthy family. I believe he went to Plant High School.
I think Judy's eyes were very sensitive to light; blue eyes , and she avoided the "limelight"...I , myself couldn't perform with all those lights glaring at me, and I moreover enjoyed talking to the crowd more than singing... so I had to sit in the dark and glance at the music lighted stand instead!

This is from Pete Seeger's show on PBS which was broadcast in the late 60s called Rainbow Quest. he had quite a few contemporary singers Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, Donovan,et. He also he also did film clips of Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. Great show. Watched it every week.
@@eugenedegeorge5084 I did a little research. The 39 episodes of Rainbow Quest were recorded in 1965 and the show debuted that year. The show was rebroadcast in 1967-68, likely when you saw it. I’m curious as to where this Judy Collins broadcast falls in relation to the Byrds’ “Turn, Turn, Turn,” which debuted in October of 1965 and was #1 by December. Obviously, they were very close in time. Judy appeared in episode #32. Pete does reference “other people singing my songs” at the end.
Thank you both SO MUCH for sharing your memories and your research! I came hunting through the comments hoping to find exactly this, and I wasn't disappointed
I’m fortunate to have lived in a season when these singers, and others like them, represented the times. I’m hopeful that the lyrics and melody of this song are fulfilled and that there is a turn for the better, whatever that may be.
She was one of the most significant singers of the sixties. I'm 73 and I was in love with her for a decade or more and she is still always in my heart. I saw her live in Cleveland Ohio in 67 or 68. I went with a lovely Lake Erie College girl whose name I regret I do not remember. A wonderful time of life.

I do love her voice just like Mary Hopkin's rendition of the same song. I do miss those good old days in the 60's. I'm 66 now but still watching all musical videos from the 50's & 60's.
"My Dear Lord, Master of the Universe, Grant us More Time..." NOBODY'S 'LIKE" Pete nor Judy- different, but there are some NOW. Not many "composers" are able to actually converge with, those who express their originals the "way they were planned." Pete Seeger DID.

I've had the good fortune to see Judy Collins twice in recent years and it's not only amazing how ethereal and thrilling her voice remains, but also how she's become even more beautiful with the years.
She is wonderful, isn't she? She is coming to my area in October 2022 and I just bought my ticket. I am really looking forward to seeing her again in person!

Judy’s voice was heavenly. I was fortunate enough to hear her in person 5 times in my life. There’s not a jam tart on earth that can match Judy Collins’ instrument.
She's a Force of Nature; an unkind description would be to say her voice is a mutation, a freakish variation from the usual, normal voice. I think she's just an uncommonly clear and beautiful combination of vocal mechanism and training(singing practice) - like Eva Cassidy or Sarah MacLaughlin, and she just sounds unusually pleasing to everybody's ear. It makes NO sense to try to explain it - just enjoy her while you can. This video is important; it's a video recording from a small local Television station in NYC in 1966, while Pete was still Blacklisted by those assholes in the US Congress(HUAAC) for refusing to answer their silly questions about his membership in the Communist party. For Judy to perform with him was an act of defiance on her part. She later had some huge Pop hit records, and was Stephen Stills girlfriend for a while; she was the inspiration for "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," a huge hit for Crosby, Stills and Nash in 1969. Pete was a towering figure in American Music, from his membership in the Weavers in WW2, and his Activism. He also wrote many songs famous with Folksingers and activists; Judy is clearly being very respectful, here. He also wrote one of the first guitar instruction methods, which featured a book and an LP vinyl record to demonstrate how it should sound; David Gilmour of Pink Floyd has said that he got some of his earliest instruction from it. Hundreds of Legendary musicians venerate this man.

Wow, how lucky you were!!
Isn't it amazing we are so lucky to have these musicians still with us.From Ireland listening still.🇮🇪
O wow wish I had known that.
I remember reading that in Pete Seeger's final days, Judy Collins came to see him in the hospital and sat beside his bed and sang this song to him.

Not really so, friend; some of us STILL sing 'em... if it's about the song and not about the money.
There are songs lifting up ideas; songs against war; songs about friendship; songs about romance; ballards; songs of praise to God; songs of sadness and brokenness.

Agree but also take a listen to Alison Krause and Robert Plant (Raising Sand)….they come close or maybe even more beautiful 🇬🇧
They played this song at my mother's funeral. Most times i hear it, i still get tears.
I miss you Mom.
What a fantastic choice, l know what you mean.
I would love to hear that on my own funeral, too.
I miss mine too!
Condolences , Casey;
Go to " I Still Care" sometime, see if it brings you a feeling of healing?
I think we will play at my mom's funeral this Saturday. I miss my mom too
Listening to this I realize how privileged we were to live through these times .
literally every generation says that about themselves when they look back on their youth.

Judy Blue Eyes...takes you back to a gentler time. So sad that time has passed.
We live each moment over and over again infinitely❤️🔥
Lost too many people in the last 3 years. This song for my 63 yr old neighbor died of brain cancer last year. For Rosemary. I cry for you today. This is your song.
As a sound engineer I really enjoy the fact that this all captured with room mics, so it the natural balance of two guitars and two voices.
Hard to believe a time once existed where people and music were this kind and beautiful 😔
Judy’s voice was heavenly. I was fortunate enough to hear her in person 4 times in my life. There’s not a pop tart on earth that can match Judy Collins’ instrument.
She was my mom's favorite singer as well and I got to take her to a concert as a surprise. She didn't even know where we were going that evening and certainly didn't know Judy was in town. I sprung for the nicest balcony seats and it was the best money I ever spent. Her voice was outstanding. The quality hasn't lessened in the least.
what year is this video?
that’s a beautiful story JM
2022 Judy Collins is still touring. Some shows, for example, at City Winery. AND she supported Joni Mitchell's return at Newport with Brandi Carlile in 2022 too.
I saw Judy 2 times in my life. It was in Lincoln Center in NYC and Tim Buckley was the opening act. Need I say more. But yes... It was on
army reserve summer camp and a weekend break from Fort Drum. I stood at the entrance of a concert hall in Montreal and could
choose "The World Of Sholom Aleichem" or Pete Seeger. And I chose Pete. The man was a"treasure"!
She has the most pure and beautiful voice.
Cent pour cent d'accord avec vous 😉

what year is this video???
@@henrygrove100 according to google and another video posted it was 1966
Yes. The voice of an angel.
I'd say God was a magnificent poet. Beautifully sung by Judy and Pete. Great memories. Thank you from Australia 🦘
Thank God for Sky News Australia, so the US can get their news unbiased and informative!
The time that talent becomes how loudly one can scream into a microphone while disrobing for views, will soon dissipate, and quality will survive . Judy could have used her voice range to become a famous opera singer-but she kept to her standards. Love to hear her " Amazing Graze" over and over.

We should all take this song to heart.....please!
One morning in assembly in 1969 the Latin teacher accompanying himself on guitar and Miss Delve the maths teacher sang this in a duet, we were dead impressed.
It's amazing what stays with us over the decades. I doubt your teachers knew the impression they made would be mentioned in 2022.
Gahd-damm! North Jersey high schooler here. Some of our teachers had hearts good enough to do something like that. But I envy you, none the less.

@@tedc7714, the sincerity.
Brought a tear to my eye as well. Though we will never hear another duet by Judy and Pete, I am happy that there are contemporary artists out there such as Brandi Carlile, who are writing beautiful and meaningful songs.
Well, we have stuff like this - buti know just where your coming from.
Two legends. And their message is still necessary.
More now than ever I think. These two are the gold standard of folk music. In my opinion neither one will ever be equaled or surpassed by any other man or woman. Judy's voice is still angelic after 7 decades of performing. Remarkable
@@jm7804 Yes, Judy is amazing. I wish her many more songs.
I was lucky enough to see Pete Seeger with Joan Baez many years ago in the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley. And I grew up with his records. Judy helped inform my teen years.
All the best from overcast Vienna, Scott
The Bibles message but yes agree

@@thetruthwillsetufree The Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes are my favorite parts of the Bible. Possibly because they are not really religious.
Surely there’s a place for today’s artists to try and showcase their talents in a simple format like this. Could they do it? Judy and Pete could and are legends.
IF people could "slow their pressured lives down" and actually "listen" again, without having to be BLASTED by electronics?
The lack of "strong drugs" might have helped too! She and Joan Baez are both still going strong! FORGET the guitar! Judy Collins could sing acapella and keep the crowd amazed! Besides, it's the CAPO she's using that causes the strings to loosen , requiring adjustments.

I come to listen to these folks sing that beautiful song when I’m wondering where we are heading, in our country.
The simplicity of the melody and the beauty of the Bible verse remind me that, for a moment, truth and grace held hands together.
I had played Judy Collin's lullabies exclusively for my 1st new born baby 25+yrs ago. At that time, i knew nothing about Judy Collin, but i liked the voice and wanted my baby's early days to sleep in this sweet and pure voice. Up until now, I don't know what Judy Collin look like, but she looked just like what i had imagined. Her voice bring back many sweet memories when i was a new mother. Thank you! ❤

What was it about the ‘60s that inspired music like this? Their messages influenced me profoundly. I’m still a hippie at heart.
A lot of drugs 💉
It was a time where individuality and freedom were starting to become more valued than the conformity and repression of the 50's. People wanted to get real. Yes, it's beautiful

I love this. My son used to love this. I lost him 2 years ago and this is still his song in heaven is my belief.
My mother's church forbade listening to secular singers, but she had to cave in for Judy.
Man, I love the way she tunes that guitar while simultaneously talking. No electronic tuner or 5th fret, just going off the open-string intervals. Pretty legit.

The words 'hauntingly beautiful' have been cemented together for this version of this song.
Cannot help but notice Judys beautiful eyes and of course her voice....
Both express a spirit of the times: let there be love, peace, and a better world.
Sincere and pure. Love it.
I cannot help but tear up every time I hear this exquisite song. And, listening to Pete at the end saying, "I could die tomorrow and I'd die happy, in a way, to think that other people are singing my songs..." A life long, and well lived for sure. Also, Judy Collins' voice is the voice of an angel. I had the wonderful opportunity to catch her in concert in Central Park in 1979 during a summer evening in NYC. Just fabulous.

What a treat!

"How proud that makes me." How lucky to have lived in a time when we could hear this song sung!
Judy Collins - What an incredible voice!
Mid 70’s, going to a Bread and Roses concert at the Greek Theatre. As was typical of car congested North Berkeley, I was walking six blocks to the venue. As I entered the street that led downhill to the theatre I realized I was walking beside Pete. He was on the bill that evening and was strolling down from where he was staying at a friend’s house. We had a nice conversation about Berkeley architecture as we walked along.
What a treasured memory! I heard him when he toured with Arlo Gurthrie. I never met him, but I did meet Ronnie Gilbert, Holly Near (I was their temporary amateur roadie when they came to Oak Park) and Arlo.
@@kjmav10135 That sounds like a good gig even for no pay. Saw Arlo with Rambling Jack in SF once. RIP Ronnie Gilbert, a pioneer in many ways.
Love this dear lady! We are so fortunate that she is still out there singing. This must take such discipline! With profound respect, and thankfulness!!
Going to see her on the 26th august and looking forward to it very much.
@@f1kwa399 wonderful and so fortunate to see her in concert! Do enjoy!
Me, too! I had the joy of seeing her in concert. She has an angelic voice and is beautiful to see
@@sharonvyse330 How was it?
I’m not crying. This is so beautiful.
Listening to this in Nashville Tennessee after a terrible school shooting that occurred today. Somehow this song is a consolation.
Now I understand why Stephen Stills wrote Sweet Judy Blue Eyes. I grew in Tampa FL with him. He was adopted by a wealthy family. I believe he went to Plant High School.
I think Judy's eyes were very sensitive to light; blue eyes , and she avoided the "limelight"...I , myself couldn't perform with all those lights glaring at me, and I moreover enjoyed talking to the crowd more than singing... so I had to sit in the dark and glance at the music lighted stand instead!

Judy, thanks for all you did for folk, folk-rock and singer-songwriters. Your voice is like the calm before a storm.
Such joy to hear two _really_ musical people looking, hearing, sensing, matching each other.
It was a great blessing that Pete gave his voice to the world for such a long time
This is precious, may we never let it die or fade away.

We lived in the best times with this kind of music.it is kind of biblical.
This is from Pete Seeger's show on PBS which was broadcast in the late 60s called Rainbow Quest. he had quite a few contemporary singers Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, Donovan,et. He also he also did film clips of Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. Great show. Watched it every week.
Thank you, Eugene-this was just the info I was seeking. Any idea of the date of this clip?
@@mrmojorisin8752 I believe it was the summer of '68 I can't be more exact than that.
@@eugenedegeorge5084 I did a little research. The 39 episodes of Rainbow Quest were recorded in 1965 and the show debuted that year. The show was rebroadcast in 1967-68, likely when you saw it. I’m curious as to where this Judy Collins broadcast falls in relation to the Byrds’ “Turn, Turn, Turn,” which debuted in October of 1965 and was #1 by December. Obviously, they were very close in time. Judy appeared in episode #32. Pete does reference “other people singing my songs” at the end.
Thank you both SO MUCH for sharing your memories and your research! I came hunting through the comments hoping to find exactly this, and I wasn't disappointed
1965-66. Not the late 60s.
I’m fortunate to have lived in a season when these singers, and others like them, represented the times. I’m hopeful that the lyrics and melody of this song are fulfilled and that there is a turn for the better, whatever that may be.
Absolutely brought tears to my eyes with its beauty.
Mine too...So many memories of the sixties came flooding back when i heard this...hadn't heard it in years. What an eternally beautiful song.
I saw Judy in Albuquerque a couple of years ago. She was 81 or 82 years old and still had the voice of an angel
Were still singing your songs Mr Seeger. They are both a comfort and a pleasure.
Mad props for getting that dang guitar in tune under the capo so fast and under that kind of pressure. That woulda took me a lot longer!
Yea she was slick on that. That capo riff sounds alot like 'Here Comes the Sun' give thanks - 355
I'm in tears and I know why , beauty in this musical duet , absolutely wonderful .
Judy Collins' voice is a gift for the ages. 🙂
She was one of the most significant singers of the sixties. I'm 73 and I was in love with her for a decade or more and she is still always in my heart. I saw her live in Cleveland Ohio in 67 or 68. I went with a lovely Lake Erie College girl whose name I regret I do not remember. A wonderful time of life.

The sweetness of their voices and their flowing together- Brings me a little hope again- God Bless them!
Judy......those heavenly eyes
A time of peace I swear it's not too late - a song still more relevant than ever! What a recording this is!
There is a shared sense of intimacy to this song, thanks for allowing us to experience it.
My most beloved version of this beautiful song.
Judy’s voice was heavenly. I was fortunate enough to hear her in person 5 times in my life. There’s not a jam tart on earth that can match Judy Collins’ instrument.
Known this song nigh on 50 years, but my first time with this version. The absolute joy on Pete's face as he watches Judy nail it is special. Love it
She's a Force of Nature; an unkind description would be to say her voice is a mutation, a freakish variation from the usual, normal voice. I think she's just an uncommonly clear and beautiful combination of vocal mechanism and training(singing practice) - like Eva Cassidy or Sarah MacLaughlin, and she just sounds unusually pleasing to everybody's ear. It makes NO sense to try to explain it - just enjoy her while you can.
This video is important; it's a video recording from a small local Television station in NYC in 1966, while Pete was still Blacklisted by those assholes in the US Congress(HUAAC) for refusing to answer their silly questions about his membership in the Communist party. For Judy to perform with him was an act of defiance on her part.
She later had some huge Pop hit records, and was Stephen Stills girlfriend for a while; she was the inspiration for "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," a huge hit for Crosby, Stills and Nash in 1969.
Pete was a towering figure in American Music, from his membership in the Weavers in WW2, and his Activism. He also wrote many songs famous with Folksingers and activists; Judy is clearly being very respectful, here. He also wrote one of the first guitar instruction methods, which featured a book and an LP vinyl record to demonstrate how it should sound; David Gilmour of Pink Floyd has said that he got some of his earliest instruction from it. Hundreds of Legendary musicians venerate this man.
