Ian Tyson, of Ian and Sylvia, the composer and original artist, has just passed Dec. 29 /2022. In 2005, CBC Radio One listeners chose his song "Four Strong Winds" as the greatest Canadian song of all time.
Beautiful! So nice to see this video I didn’t know that existed. I love duets! I still miss Glen Campbell after listening to him on the radio after all of these years . I wish I could listen to Ian Tyson’s songs on the radio back in my early days. But thanks to Sirius, Amazon music, Spotify and I tune, including Google.
Absolutely breathtaking... Such perfect singing. Just love it. xx Absolutely gorgeous together.. A right Tear Jerker if ever there was one... What voices together. "Rest Easy Dear Glen" you wil be forever missed in this world. xx
This is the only version I have come across that interprets the song as I always heard it in my head. It’s a conversation, or perhaps a sad, inevitable, repeated discussion, between lovers who cannot reach agreement and know they will part. Beautifully rendered by both.
This is just an absolutely stunning interpretation of this beautiful song. I had heard Judy sing it before but never heard it with a duet with Glen Campbell. Hard to believe this concert was from 45 years ago. Such beautiful harmonies! So sad about Glen's declining health condition.
Anthemic songs such as this are rare and Ian Tyson hit this right on the nail. It is not surprising that it has become Canada's unofficial national anthem. Hopefully there is a better audio available of this duet which could be included in a Duets CD now we have lost Glen.
Wow. Two great folksingers collide and come up with this stirring and emotional version of Four Strong Winds. Great version of this Ian Tyson classic. Judy must have liked Ian's songs as she also did a great version with his "Someday Soon".
Pity about the sound track but this is by so very far the finest version of this fabulous song which I believe has been voted the best-ever Canadian folk song.
sweetness and depth and perfect harmony.....check out Canada Day celebration where hundreds of guitars were played with Ian Tyson and this song sang by many a happy Canadian that day....I know I was one of them!!!!!!
He sounds like he knew that her high female voice wouldn't work well with his high range , so he dropped down for the contrast to hear both voices. Johnny Cash did a song with Glenn and he pulled up his voice at the end for Glenn to reach it as a lower baritone since Johnny normally finishes off with his nice Bass tone that Glenn would find it hard to nail it and hold during the 4 words . In fact . A few tenor range singers that were now in their 50's have trouble hitting the high notes from the old 45 versions would drop the run-up about a whole Tone to lower the high note with in range.
Was it recorded by Neil Young? Or maybe it was the composer himself. My husband introduced me to this early 1980s before we We'd. It will always remind me of that time.
Great song, great performance. Too bad the TV people were still living in the 1920's where sound is concerned. Somebody forgot to check the levels. Glenn Campbell was one of the great guitar players of all time, as I'm only recently finding out. He played on tons of studio dates, among many other things.
Collins has such dignity and grace; Campbell-well, there were always TWO versions of Campbell, to me. One of em was during an era when he was for some reason making everything, even gorgeous and heartfelt songs sound like a hoedown, and the second version, which you see here, just beautiful, and heartfelt. I think the former was forced by the powers that be, the later, the real Glenn. Together these two were just so good; I might add, there seemed to me, to be NEVER two versions of Collins.
Jmichael Isbell I couldn’t agree more. Check out Glen’s 1977 or 1978 concert in London for what I think was the peak of his talent. Unfortunately this also coincided with his plunge into cocaine. Such a tragedy that the greatest artists always seem to reach their pinnacle of perfection right as they are about to fall into the abyss. To me, Glen never really recovered from that period, professionally or personally. This is the kind of performance that shows the real him, as you say.
@Revolutionary Views I agree that the '77 concert in London was an excellent showcase for displaying the magnitude of his talent (in spite of his excruciating thinness at that time). Where we part ways is in the belief that he wasn't able to effectively perform that well later in his career. One of my favorite TH-cam videos is his PBS special in South Dakota about a quarter of a century later. Regarding his personal recovery, he did that in spades. He met and married a woman who refused to allow him to continue in his dysfunctional ways. She helped get him turned back to the Lord, and his later years were very good ones. He defeated those demons, although he did fall off the wagon once and got publically humiliated with a mug shot that will live in perpetuity. He had a good family life and was eager and able to devote time to growing in his relationship with the Lord. He came full circle back to his faith before he left us. It simply doesn't get any better than that. ------------------------------------ @JmichaelIsbell Glen liked everything from "hoedown" to jazz, from intricate instrumentals to ballads, from blues to gospel. What he didn't like was being pigeonholed into one stereotype. While "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" effectively launched his career, he much preferred and enjoyed doing the show of his own personal choosing, "The Glen Campbell Music Show," where he could feature and sing along with various musical artists and dispense with the goofy skits. Unfortunately, the industry handlers didn't care much for his inviting country artists, fearing that the cornpone element (my term, not theirs) was not in keeping with industry ideals. For this reason it was short-lived even though Glen enjoyed that show immensely. He was never happier than when he was making music -- regardless of genre. But those industry bigwigs removed a lot of that joy as they insisted on molding his career according to _their_ wisdom. It doesn't completely surprise me that that certain artists get into trouble with substances when they have an entire industry of individuals dictating every aspect of their careers. Ultimately, the substance abuser is responsible for their choice to use, but I can see how there could be the desire to check out of the pressure-cooker life for a bit. In any case, I'm so thankful he made his way back.
Beautifully sung but the audio quality is awful - it denitely hurts to hear it with earphones. But my favourite cover has been done by Bobby Bare anyway.
This version could be the best of all of them as they are such great artists, except it's recorded so poorly that it's total crap. How can it be that the electronics are so terrible? I'm hearing reverb and mushy sound.
Back in the day when people could sing unpretentiously and do it live! 👍❤️
I was brought up listening to Judy Collins. The Seekers and John Denver - still love them.
after 60 years of loving this song never really appreciated till now how much it is a dialogue.
It’s dialogue, it’s dialogue! lol
This folk material brings out Glen’s best voice. Judy’s voice is exquisite and blends well with his.

No one deserves to be that handsome-and talented.❤️

Precious harmony with these two great artists, such a treat to find this recording.
Absolutely breathtaking... Such perfect singing. Just love it. xx Absolutely gorgeous together.. A right Tear Jerker if ever there was one... What voices together. "Rest Easy Dear Glen" you wil be forever missed in this world. xx
Two wonderful voices blending beautifully.
This is the only version I have come across that interprets the song as I always heard it in my head. It’s a conversation, or perhaps a sad, inevitable, repeated discussion, between lovers who cannot reach agreement and know they will part.
Beautifully rendered by both.
Stunning voices and an incredible song. Peaceful listening.
back then when things were calm and just fine.and the more we get older the more we can relate to this song
This is just an absolutely stunning interpretation of this beautiful song. I had heard Judy sing it before but never heard it with a duet with Glen Campbell. Hard to believe this concert was from 45 years ago. Such beautiful harmonies! So sad about Glen's declining health condition.
folkmusicgirl you need to listen to The Seekers version with 4 part harmony. Imho it is the best.
@@donnaking5517 agreed, RIP Judith Durham😢
Simply great duet.
Her voice makes me almost feel like I am being lifted into the stratosphere. Truly ethereal!
you will love this version !! th-cam.com/video/65M4Ccwbyc0/w-d-xo.html
@@thelukkman1 Yes, I have the album, thank you. I have almost all of her albums!
Stunning. Love them forever. Such Grace and beauty.
Beautiful moving song and sung so magnificently.
this song hits hardly 😭🥰❤💯 awesome
Excellent ! Great duet ! I already knew the Judy Collins' interpretation.
Great thanks, indeed !
All the best,

Beautiful song. Close your eyes and you'll see incredible landscapes...
Wow. Two great folksingers collide and come up with this stirring and emotional version of Four Strong Winds. Great version of this Ian Tyson classic. Judy must have liked Ian's songs as she also did a great version with his "Someday Soon".
Ian and sylvia song originally. I think these two are brilliant together.. lately I'm on a glen Campbell Jimmy webb binge .
Thank you from the largest Glen forum in the world! Shared with nearly 6000 on Friends of Glen - The Glen Campbell Family & Fan Run Forum on Facebook.
Pity about the sound track but this is by so very far the finest version of this fabulous song which I believe has been voted the best-ever Canadian folk song.
At one point, ( don't know how long ago ), CBC Radio listeners voted best Canadian song ( any genre )
Beautiful version!
what a beautiful voice Glenn had
This is beautifully done.
sweetness and depth and perfect harmony.....check out Canada Day celebration where hundreds of guitars were played with Ian Tyson and this song sang by many a happy Canadian that day....I know I was one of them!!!!!!
Met Ian and Sylvia while I was in college..cool dudes!! Met Judy years later, equally cool!!
No sweeter voice than Glen's. Just beautiful.
He sounds like he knew that her high female voice wouldn't work well with his high range , so he dropped down for the contrast to hear both voices.
Johnny Cash did a song with Glenn and he pulled up his voice at the end for Glenn to reach it as a lower baritone since Johnny normally finishes off with his nice Bass tone that Glenn would find it hard to nail it and hold during the 4 words .
In fact . A few tenor range singers that were now in their 50's have trouble hitting the high notes from the old 45 versions would drop the run-up about a whole Tone to lower the high note with in range.
So, did Cash and Campbell take music lessons to sing, or was it natural voices?
First heard this song sung by John Denver
This has become my favourite version ❤
Was it recorded by Neil Young? Or maybe it was the composer himself. My husband introduced me to this early 1980s before we We'd. It will always remind me of that time.
I never heard it sung this way. Awesome.
Sounds great!
Thank you, vanibat! You have outdone yourself with this one! :)
Seriously...sublime.
HEAVEN IN A SONG BY TWO TREASURES>>> BLISSFUL!!
Nice song
Judy blue eyes was delicious in those days. Such a pure voice.
If you like this, look up the original by Ian and Sylvia Tyson. Truly one of the most beautiful folksongs of our age.
Excellent - IMHO Glen never sounded better. Judy is always great.
É tão bom escutá-los e ver 👀
absolutely beautiful duet stunning in fact - is their anyone out there who could improve the picture and sound quality ? someone please ?
You can find this in another posting with better audio quality.
Chad and Jeremy have the absolute best version of this!!!!!!!!!
Sound quality is very poor.
Great song, great performance. Too bad the TV people were still living in the 1920's where sound is concerned. Somebody forgot to check the levels. Glenn Campbell was one of the great guitar players of all time, as I'm only recently finding out. He played on tons of studio dates, among many other things.
Listen to the Brothers Four version.
There's another one with 3 singers that is great- I can't remember the name tho.
Chad Mitchell Trio . :)
Good job Neil Young gave this song another go
Is it me or is the audio very low quality with lots of distortion? Too bad good song good singers.
Were they high or just nervous?
I normally LOVE the way they sing this lovely song.
Why don’t they remaster. Perfect rendition, but sound is bad.
Collins has such dignity and grace; Campbell-well, there were always TWO versions of Campbell, to me.

Some Thing wrong with the sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George it's TH-cam. It's free. Who gives a fuck?
Sublim !
Great job, but I like Ian singing it the best.
Why is the sound CRAPPY?????
What a beautiful version of a beautiful song
Beautiful but the sound quality is horrendous!!! What gives?
1970
Digitally, remastered failing.
Digitally remaster failing.
great duet, but too bad Glen didn't know the lyrics.
This version could be the best of all of them as they are such great artists, except it's recorded so poorly that it's total crap. How can it be that the electronics are so terrible? I'm hearing reverb and mushy sound.

A beautiful song ruined by horrible recording
Die klangliche Verzerrung macht das Zuhören leider unerträglich!
