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.

me too. So sad. I have loved her music and voice since I first heard her sing when I was around 14. Where did I hear her? At my Grandparents house! Someone gave them a record of hers! Here I am 65 and still love her. Every now and then I think "I haven't heard Judy sing in awhile." At one time, I had every one of her albums. She was a truly is amazing. Sons of is one of the better songs. Touches my heart every time.

Maria Cisneros Toth 1 year ago In 1970, I had a hip twenty-something 7th grade english teacher. One day Miss Taylor handed out a poem for us to read as a class. Then she put on a record and it was Judy Collin's "Both Sides Now." It was the day I fell in love with poetry....

Beautiful princess Judy Collins. I love this song and her voice. Brings back great memories! Thanks Joni Mitchell!

I listen to "Judy's clowns" two or three times a year... makes me cry every time... beautiful voice, beautiful eyes...

Judy Collins is just great!

The song grows old with age, but it still makes memories refresh every times I listen to this song.

This is amazing! First she gives melody (well most of it), and then she harmonizes around the melody, giving it a feel of improvisation. All the while, doing some really interesting things with the phrasing. This takes not only solid musicianship, but also sharp mental focus to keep it all together.

Singing, musicianship, unique, yearning physical beauty. She's the whole package.

Her enchanting voice, speaking and singing, is almost indescribably beautiful, haunting and unforgettable. The amazing sound and motion picture camera is surely our most profound invention, a time machine portal upon lost worlds. Thanx to the extremely few intrepid geniuses who invented it around one hundred thirty years ago, truly amazing.

It was a special time, for some of us the time of our youth, hopes, and dreams. Now we are ever so slowly growing old. I truly miss them days, I'm glad I grew up then. When I hear music like this from back then, it makes me think of friends and family who are no longer with us, but was here back then.😔

Damn this brings back memories of a time I’ll never live again. Take me back and let that time go on for eternity.

"Both Sides Now" Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all

What a confident, creative, wonderful rendition of this classic song. Beautiful take by Ms. Collins. Great job.

it's been 3 years and my childhood is still over.

I first saw and heard Judy around 1963 when I was 14 years-old. She and Tom Paxton I think it was, were making their rounds on Cape Cod, (and Massachusetts) at that time. They put on a nice little show at the old National Guard Armory, (which is now a court house) on Jones Road in Falmouth, Ma. Judy was absolutely fabulous that night! I can still see her on that little stage wearing a white dress and high heels. She had the most beautiful, big blue eyes I have ever witnessed. I've been a huge fan of hers all these years and my favorite song sung by her is, "Both Sides Now".

What a phenomenal talent. Such a sweet voice and perfect for her time.

In 1981 I went to a Spyro Gyra concert at Chicagofest. Judy Collins was the act before Spyro. I had never heard of her. She came on, sat behind her piano, and put on a SPECTACULAR, relaxed, show. What pianist! What a voice! Great band! Judy blew my mind, and I never did drugs, ha! I fell in love. 39 years later, I am still in love with you, Judy!

Cris Johnson 2 years ago I knew life better years ago. Then I forgot. Now I'm trying to relearn things I thought were frivolous but were actually essential. This song reminds me.

Always brings a lump in my throat.

timeless beauty.... so blessed to have experienced this music throughout my life

TheBigDelicious 2 years ago 1969: I am lying on a blanket about twelve feet from Judy onstage (Phil Ochs had opened for her), with my love by my side, both of us high on mescaline.

You have probably never done a single thing in your life to help anyone else, and yet you judge a young person you know nothing about, who had to possibly go do something you don't have the guts to do (note he didn't say if he was sent there or not). Ask the people in South Vietnam about the communists we were fighting and what they did. Grow up and learn something about life. You're doubtless a victim of an upbringing without a strong male figure in your life to kick your ass when you needed it. For that you have a small excuse.

I don't think she takes a breath this whole song-just keeps going 🎶 loved her on "Christy".

Gut wrenching; tears being held back; memories and emotions of the great old days.

My childhood song; her voice vibrates my heart and once a while I feel there is morphine in my mind; wow....

She has amazing ability of toying with harmonics and melody. Back and forth to minor and back again and then throwing rhythm out the window but floating time. She’s really something else.

Exactly right. Most of us, myself included, would be terrified to depart from melody and tempo like that in front of an audience and an orchestra. One can end up on a dead-end. Not her.

I grew up in the 50's and early 60's. While other kids were listening to rock and roll, I was buying folk song records from Seeger, Bikel, Baez, Collins, and many others. I guess that was why I became a member of the SDS in college. I protested the Vietnam War every chance I got. Then in late 1969, I was drafted into the marines. Fortunately I was spared most combat.
