Can't believe such comments as "she rode the coat tails of Joni Mitchell" and "she looks like Lindsay Lohan". Please! When I was five years old she was at the center of my love for music, and I've spent my life of 45 years loving and playing music. I knew her before Joni Mitchell, and hoped if I were beautiful when I grew up, it would be her kind of beauty. No one really can ever match Judy's voice or beauty. She is one of a kind. Love you dear Judy!
I am 68 years old an still cry, because this was me. So many years around rodeo and following the wrong man around....(well it was right at the time and I don't regret it!)
Old enough to have seen this when it was first broadcast on the Smother's Brothers. Great performance. Ian Tyson who wrote the song passed away today. He loved his damned old rodeo.
I was a teenager when the 'Wild flowers album was cut loose. My dad had just come back from Nam and I was into the northern Cali music scene as in the Bay Area in Alameda . Her voice and longing and want of something so refreshing was so endearing has never left me. I hit my 73rd birthday today and listened to this and Bonnie Rait and Otis Redding.
I saw her perform back in 1970, I was just discovering "Folk Music", Judy, Joan, Buffy, Dylan, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, such a wonderous time to be alive!!
I miss the days when songs meant something and the people singing them has the guts and talent to perform them live with no autotune. Incredible voice and those hauntingly beautiful eyes, what a great lady. I pray that she sings forever!!
?? music doesn't need more or less talent to produce now than in the 60s or 70s. more tools available to artists means a wider range of sounds you can make, increasing the 'ceiling' of the skill, so to speak. don't and gatekeep what 'real' music is. it makes you look foolish.
Give Angel Olsen a shot. She’s an amazing modern musician and a great talent. She even has a few renditions of older songs (and a cover of a song from Bonanza called Endless Road, it’s great). I think you’ll enjoy it!
Mary lamb, 'Cause we all know that in the end her father was probably right about her ending up with a broken heart. ruclips.net/video/9k7en09c6hU/видео.html (I think it was Jewell Kilcher who said in an interview that her father warned her to never fall in love with a musician or a cowboy because he was both and knew that neither would give her anything but pain in the end.)
I was17 yrs old in Meridian MS and my boyfriend was in the Navy there. He gave me an album of Judy Collins, Some day soon. I played and played that album and knew I was in love. A few months later I joined the Navy and time just slipped away. Now that I'm older and every time I hear the song I think of the fondest memories and a tear comes to my eye. Take care Dick Roberson where ever you are.
@@miamidolphinsfan And none of those incredible singers needed auto tune or computer enhancement of their voices. Aren't we blessed to have had this wonderful music as the soundtrack of our youth?
Time slipped away while we were bust working or raising a family -- Just living life and doing the best we could. But what wonderful music we had to help us through the crazy times and the wonderful times.
When I was a kid, I used to think Ms Judy had a voice like an angel. I never heard a voice like hers...ever. It's hypnotic in an ethereal, sublime and earthly way- like hearing your mom and an angel sing to you as a baby and feeling that there is nothing that can be more beautiful or perfect. It's a dream of mine to see her perform live. I've seen thousands of videos, all of which I LOVE, but I have a feeling that in person, she must be magic. I'm not sure Ms Judy even comes to Long Island anymore. I think she performed at Adelphi once or twice, but when? I think last year, but the older I get the faster time flies. It was most likely 20 years ago. She really is an amazing performer. She has no need for tight bodied dancers and flames shooting sparks all over the place to keep an audience's attention. A guitar, her voice and those dreamy blue eyes makes her a star.
An intelligent comment. What are your music tastes these days? Did you carry on liking this song and other music that wasn't typical for your peers? Your comment is from over a decade ago, I hope you're well? Today is 6/25/2022.
Ian Tyson, one of the best song writers in the country genre. This song and "Four Strong Winds " (recorded by Neil Young) two of the best songs ever written.
Such a beautiful woman, with an unbelievably beautiful voice. I believe her covers of other people's songs are among the most lovely in the world. She always does something original with each song to make it her own.
I saw her live on January 8th. She still has her voice. She kinds of totters walking across the stage, but the power of her voice and her guitar playing belies her age. She also did two numbers at the piano, an instrument on which she was a child prodigy.
I go for years without thinking of this song and then I'll play it again and again and again. GOOD music, composition. and performance can still elicit deep emotion. This song NAILS IT! ❣️❣️❣️
@@briandaly42 it sure how to take your comment here. Did you mean she was history as in a has been? Or did you mean she’s history because she was such a beloved musical personality? Js To me she is history because she embodied the essence of the times we lived through; she touched our souls.
I am 69 now and I haven’t heard this since I were a young man. Driving the back roads of the UP, with the windows down, station at K.I. Sawyer AFB , love sick for my sweetheart back home. This was our song.I lost my sweet heart a year ago. Jesus called her home......funny how a song can take one back in time.
Ahhhhh....The days when performers actually sang and played their original songs LIVE. With no computerized ampage or sync-drum beats. Whatta concept! SWEET Judy Blue Eyes - fer sher, dude!
I first heard this in 1974. A beautiful romantic voice... She hits all the notes and brings such life to it. Something so sweet about this song that Judy embraces.
I could watch Judy sing this all day. Outstanding beauty and talent. what a guitar player .. Many thanks to Ian Tyson for the song too and Rest in Peace 😍
We saw Ian Tyson live in Northampton, MA, in '95, I think it was. When he did this song, he introduced it with "Here's the one that paid the mortgage on the ranch!"
A long time ago, we Detroiters had a world class radio personality by the name of J. P. McCarthy. He was intervewing Judy Collins on his early morning show and I will never forget the silky, fluid fashion of her ability to talk and go into song, back and forth, all in one sentence.
I was sneaking into the Rose Hill gym at Fordham U and she was coming out the same door. This was '68 or '69 &, just an awestruck kid I just stood aside, as she passed. She shared the stage with Ian & Sylvia, that evening, another of my life-long favorites. A very pleasant & memorable evening in my life, for sure.
Got this song in my head this morning, so off to RUclips I went. What a nice surprise to find this Smothers Bros show performance! She’s doing some fun variations on her recorded version, so that’s always a treat! Glad to know she’s still out there!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the perfect nexus of beauty, beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady with the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Loved you for over 40 years Judy, please never stop singing!!
I would not compare this incredible woman to anyone...she's a one-of-a-kind. How nice you got to meet her. I saw her in concert a couple of years ago...we couldn't clap hard enough. She sang "Danny Boy" a cappella and for a few minutes, the world went away.
I had the honor,or personally meeting Judy Collins a few weeks ago in West Palm Beach. Judy looked exquisitely beautiful. Class personified. The years have treated Judy well. She has touched many hearts with her music and lyrics,esp mine. I am blessed to have met her.
I remember in the 70's when my Mom and Dad visited me every holiday except XMAS, I lived a long ways away, I was playing this song and I could tell my Dad liked this song both words and music by his body language. For one he was from a generation when you never heard that word "damn" in a song and two he seemed to be turned on to the line "When he comes a calling my Pa ain't got a good word to say, I guess it's because he was as just as wild in the younger day", I think that is how Judy sang it originally. It sounds so good to hear it again after all of those years. It takes me back to my younger day.
When I started junior high school Susan was in ninth grade and played drums in the school orchestra. The last time I saw her was maybe 1972 or so when she was playing with Judy in Carnegie Hall. We had like the first box stage left and It was a show I'll never forget. I'm glad I found this video today. Thank you.
Judy hits all the notes beautifully. A great song by another great Canadian Ian Tyson and then there's Joni and Neil Young-whats in the air in that country
I watched this in 1969 when I was 15-- and finally bucked down to learn to play that guitar I'd had for three years. Got her records and got busy. Part of what saved my life and gave me focus. This was my favorite song to play for a long time.
They did at least once, with Sylvia there too. Ian and Sylvia were wonderful together too. . from 1986 Reunion on the CBC ruclips.net/video/LRTYr5M9Sqs/видео.html
Had a set of albums called Super hits of the 70's. Judy Collins did Amazing grace a cappella and not only was I hooked but I was in love with that voice.
Remember watching the Smothers Brothers on Sunday nights. Pat Paulson was always funny and you got to see acts like Judy Collins that we kids loved. Next morning back to school
This is a terrific cover that I have heard so many times, yet it still moves me. Must admit I am still tearing up thinking of Ian Tyson's death. This song, 4 winds and others were such an important part of my childhood and young adult. The Rocky mountain foothills in SW Alberta where Ian made his home are stunningly beautiful.

Hello Deborah, How are you doing?
I saw her in concert in the 80s. Fell in love with her
Well said!
This is my favorite version of the song!
I love her and Joni. Both are great. Since when does the woman who inspired CSNY's Suite Judy Blue Eyes have to ride anyone's coattails?
I noticed Ian Tyson who wrote this song passed away yesterday. He was 89.
Judy Collins has one of the greatest voices ever heard. That is all.
Judy Collins takes you back to the late sixty's and early seventies. The love ins, the patchouli, it feels like you're there when you hear her voice
Superstar
Awesome 1973
One of those rare powerful singers. Thunders music without screaming.

Hot damn, I’m jealous of you, that’s awesome
I'm 74, and often think how privileged we were back then to hear those fabulous songs for the first time.
I miss the days when songs meant something and the people singing them has the guts and talent to perform them live with no autotune.
Incredible voice and those hauntingly beautiful eyes, what a great lady. I pray that she sings forever!!
bigbadfitter I went to hear her sing in Birmingham, UK in January. Fantastic voice.

@@ArcoZakus ME TOO
It's partly my story.
Ditto
Yes
I've heard many other versions of this song, but Judy Collin's version is still the very best one....
It's wonderful for sure. Almost as good as Ian's, but that's just my opinion. "Best" is purely subjective. . .a matter of opinion.
Ian and Sylvia back in the day, sort of like four strong winds. Covered by many sometimes very well, but there's still something about the original.
Skeeter Davis did nice cover of it too. It's on RUclips.
Crystal Gayle's cover is far superior.

Time slipped away while we were bust working or raising a family -- Just living life and doing the best we could. But what wonderful music we had to help us through the crazy times and the wonderful times.
Semper Fi, Brother. I was in the Corps, too, when this came out......a nineteen year-old PFC on his way to save the world.
who knows....Sandy Denny said that
She was Gorgeous in Voice and Looks ! Can’t believe this was 52 years ago ! Those were the Days My Friend I thought they’d Never End !

I agree about Ian's song writing, but his performance of both songs are my favourites too.
(I love Judy's and Neil's, but Ian's is my fav.)
oh my in love with her for a long time! 80 years old now in an assisted living place called evergreen
Such a beautiful woman, with an unbelievably beautiful voice. I believe her covers of other people's songs are among the most lovely in the world. She always does something original with each song to make it her own.
I was 20 in 1969. Fortunate enough to have been able to watch and listen to the Smothers Brothers and to Judy Collins.
I saw her live on January 8th. She still has her voice. She kinds of totters walking across the stage, but the power of her voice and her guitar playing belies her age. She also did two numbers at the piano, an instrument on which she was a child prodigy.
She and Joni are both such inspiring soloists. Peaches and blueberries. They each have their heavenly voice. Praise God!
I go for years without thinking of this song and then I'll play it again and again and again. GOOD music, composition. and performance can still elicit deep emotion. This song NAILS IT! ❣️❣️❣️
Every time.. breaks my heart
Judy collins is history
The song I first heard on AM so many decades ago, was rolling around in my thought tonight. So I went lookingfor it. Such a great performance.
@@briandaly42 it sure how to take your comment here. Did you mean she was history as in a has been? Or did you mean she’s history because she was such a beloved musical personality? Js To me she is history because she embodied the essence of the times we lived through; she touched our souls.
Judy has just the right voice for this wonderful song. She is always mesmerizing.
I love watching her make the chord changes, and that it’s a full-on dreadnought. She’s really playing that guitar!
Yes sir!
I've noticed that on her other performances. An excellent guitarist and also pianist.
Superb rhythm playing it is...
The more you hear and look at her, the more beautiful she gets.
i always preferred Judy Collins over Joni Mitchell
Thank you Supernatural for bringing this beautiful song to young people who wouldn’t have ever listened to such a classic. ❤
Great song. I first heard this about 30 years ago. Still gives me chills to hear it.
I am 69 now and I haven’t heard this since I were a young man. Driving the back roads of the UP, with the windows down, station at K.I. Sawyer AFB , love sick for my sweetheart back home. This was our song.I lost my sweet heart a year ago. Jesus called her home......funny how a song can take one back in time.
Sawyer is now low income housing. Its pretty ghetto.
What a great song !
Plus she is so beautiful singing this song
God almighty Sweet Judy Blue Eyes.
The Voice of my Youth when I wore a Younger man's Clothes.. It heals the soul to hear these folk songs, sung so well. RH DSD
We were so young and life was something we took by storm!!
Talent--and dignity. Even at that very young age, so dignified. Always admired her for that.
Unfortunately she was a hard drinker
@@marymarysmarket3508 Sad. We never know what demons haunt the minds and souls of others.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Nikki Minaj…
I've always adored her and still do.
We just saw her in concert.. What a lovely event. She was so honest , clear and strong .. at 83!!
Ahhhhh....The days when performers actually sang and played their original songs LIVE. With no computerized ampage or sync-drum beats. Whatta concept! SWEET Judy Blue Eyes - fer sher, dude!
Great Judy.........Great Classic
You can't dislike folk music in a mini-skirt :)
I cant not , not never ........ I just raised you one double dislike .. .. lol ffs
she is actually singing not lip syncing,,,we are so lucky to have you tube,so lucky
I first heard this in 1974. A beautiful romantic voice... She hits all the notes and brings such life to it. Something so sweet about this song that Judy embraces.
Nostalgia for times that were so sweet
Those "musicians" behind her were mere props.
I could watch Judy sing this all day. Outstanding beauty and talent. what a guitar player .. Many thanks to Ian Tyson for the song too and Rest in Peace 😍
Wow, that voice is clear as crystal and flows smoother than any river I've seen.
She looks beautiful which matches her voice!
Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful song...and of course....those EYES !!!
Judy is always the best!
Her music,still beautiful and touches my heart after all these years
Forget looks, she's got the voice, she's got the talent.
She looks good to me.. and also sounds beautiful
What a stunning woman with an angelic voice
great song and great lady... saw here in Wash DC in 1968 and Okla. in 2017 ! ~ !
Such a beautiful and innocent song. Judy Collins forever!!
I was just a boy then but it takes me back now. Beautiful song. Nice job, Judy!
We saw Ian Tyson live in Northampton, MA, in '95, I think it was. When he did this song, he introduced it with "Here's the one that paid the mortgage on the ranch!"
That’s interesting - in his autobiography, he said it was Neil Young’s cover of Four Strong Winds that paid for the ranch.

I saw this live from Judy many years later in Phoenix, AZ. when she opened for Donovan! 😀😺

Ian Tyson writes great songs. Judy did this one perfectly.
If you're not familiar with Mr. Tyson, I recommend that you start with Coboyography.

Don't forget Gordon Lightfoot.
Beautiful song…beautiful voice.
Beautiful Lady...Beautiful Song. This song has a 1960's sentimentality and rings true for we folks who lived the era.
Judy is a champion and a survivor, and a fantastic story teller in her songs......I've been a fan of hers since the 60's, and still am.
I watched this in 1969 when I was 15-- and finally bucked down to learn to play that guitar I'd had for three years. Got her records and got busy. Part of what saved my life and gave me focus. This was my favorite song to play for a long time.
This song still sounds just as good today as it did in 1969.
That voice and those incredibly beautiful eyes, what a combination Ms. Collins possesses.
I remember this from a long time ago and it always meant alot to me and to my husband - nice hearing it now. Thanks
Lyrics are straight to the point.
And, pack a punch. Timeless.
I love Judy Collins and this song!😊🌻❤️🥂🎶
What a duet she and Ian Tyson could have done.
They did at least once, with Sylvia there too. Ian and Sylvia were wonderful together too. . from 1986 Reunion on the CBC ruclips.net/video/LRTYr5M9Sqs/видео.html
I'm speechless
Me too...Such an amazing voice from an amazing lady
I have always loved this performance by Judy Collins all those years ago. It never fails to touch my heart.
her vocals. damn. she knows what to do with every word.
Had a set of albums called Super hits of the 70's. Judy Collins did Amazing grace a cappella and not only was I hooked but I was in love with that voice.
She's really beautiful.
Such an amazing song & songstress....love this
Sweet Judy....
Grew Up Listening To Great Awesome Voices Like Hers As a Kid! Mellow Rock! Yeah!
Remember watching the Smothers Brothers on Sunday nights. Pat Paulson was always funny and you got to see acts like Judy Collins that we kids loved. Next morning back to school
sweet Judy blue eyes!
And at the speed of life, 50 yrs is gone . . just like that. Still on the planet . . .

Not just the song, but her natural beauty, and her clear voice--AND the fact they don't make 'em like that anymore that makes you cry
