JUDY COLLINS - "Someday Soon" HD 1969 

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!)

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 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!!

Judy Collins has one of the greatest voices ever heard. That is all.

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.

Wrote her a letter just before I went to Viet Nam in 1969 she answered too Always loved this song.

I've heard many other versions of this song, but Judy Collin's version is still the very best one....

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 was 20 in 1969. Fortunate enough to have been able to watch and listen to the Smothers Brothers and to Judy Collins.

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.

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.

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.

oh my in love with her for a long time! 80 years old now in an assisted living place called evergreen

She and Joni are both such inspiring soloists. Peaches and blueberries. They each have their heavenly voice. Praise God!

Thank you Supernatural for bringing this beautiful song to young people who wouldn’t have ever listened to such a classic. ❤

I have always loved this performance by Judy Collins all those years ago. It never fails to touch my heart.

This song still makes me cry after almost 50 years.

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.

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.

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.

I love watching her make the chord changes, and that it’s a full-on dreadnought. She’s really playing that guitar!

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!!

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! ❣️❣️❣️

Judy has just the right voice for this wonderful song. She is always mesmerizing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We just saw her in concert.. What a lovely event. She was so honest , clear and strong .. at 83!!

Her voice is phenomenal.

My God, that voice. That beautiful, clear, crystalline voice.

I'd just like to say, I'm 16 and I love this song, a good song isn't trapped by generational barriers.

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.

17 years ago, my sweetheart and I started down a long road alternately rough and smooth, I swore I would never leave her side....four months ago, she was called to take that highway to heaven, and leave me behind.......someday soon, going with her, someday soon. Love you, MaryAlice.

I was 22 and in the Marines at the time that this came out. Where did the time go.

RIP Ian Tyson.

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 😍

What a beautiful woman and that song reminds me of so much in 1969 when it was playing. What a voice!

I noticed Ian Tyson who wrote this song passed away yesterday. He was 89.

Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful song...and of course....those EYES !!!

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.

Talent--and dignity. Even at that very young age, so dignified. Always admired her for that.

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.

Such a beautiful and innocent song. Judy Collins forever!!

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

An incredible artiste!

A class act in every way.

What a stunning woman with an angelic voice

Her music,still beautiful and touches my heart after all these years

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.

Beautiful Lady...Beautiful Song. This song has a 1960's sentimentality and rings true for we folks who lived the era.

Wow, that voice is clear as crystal and flows smoother than any river I've seen.

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

She looks beautiful which matches her voice!

Great song. I first heard this about 30 years ago. Still gives me chills to hear it.

Got this song in my head this morning, so off to RU-vid 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!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And at the speed of life, 50 yrs is gone . . just like that. Still on the planet . . .

I forgot how beautiful she is. Beautiful lady, beautiful song. Thank you Judy.

Judy is simply the best female singer of modern times - no one else comes near!

We were so young and life was something we took by storm!!

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've always adored her and still do.

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

Saw her in Stockton CA in 1971 as a young man with a crush on beauty, talent, and the most beautiful voice I ever heard.

Lyrics are straight to the point. And, pack a punch. Timeless.

What a duet she and Ian Tyson could have done.

Gorgeous lady with a phenomenal voice . So lucky to have lived in San Francisco during the 60's .Todays music is nothing more than visual entertainment with background noise.

The more you hear and look at her, the more beautiful she gets.

I was just a boy then but it takes me back now. Beautiful song. Nice job, Judy!

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!!

Go ahead, try to top this. Back in the land of bad things this was pure bliss.

her vocals. damn. she knows what to do with every word.

Forget looks, she's got the voice, she's got the talent.

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

AWESOME!!! Before just now I only knew this song from Suzy Boggus!

What a way to introduce their guest, Judy Collins. When did we lose all that sense of creativity?

That drummer is really laid back.

Judy you melt my Soul

Real talent is making this job look easy. She's one of the most natural performers in the history of the world IMO. She's so unique and doesn't appear to try. There are very few with this gift.

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!

Such a great song, and she has such a pretty voice. I have listened to all the other people who have done this song and I have to say Suzy Bogguss does it the best. Thank God, Judy Collins was the 1st to sing the song, they say a song is truly a hit if other people sing it as well. Thank you Judy!

Judy Blue eyes Never saw eyes like that

I love Judy Collins and this song!😊🌻❤️🥂🎶

Nostalgia for times that were so sweet

she is actually singing not lip syncing,,,we are so lucky to have you tube,so lucky

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.

Beautiful song…beautiful voice.

I totally agree with you. I don't understand the criticism of her from the comments. Both Sides Now will always be one of my many defining songs for my youth.

I remember this from a long time ago and it always meant alot to me and to my husband - nice hearing it now. Thanks

She sings with her heart....

Today March 2021, and I still love to hear her music. Nobody like her.

"I would follow him down the toughest road that I know." I think those days are gone but the song sounds as fresh as it did about 50 years ago when I first heard it.

great song and great lady... saw here in Wash DC in 1968 and Okla. in 2017 ! ~ !

i agree with you... art garfunkel never wrote a hit... but my life has been better for having heard his voice interpreting the songs of others. Joni Mitchell like Neil Young and Leonard Cohen are incredible songwriters who are unique vocalists... but really... can't sing... So I'm happy to have heard Judy Collins interpreting Ian Tyson, Joni Mitchell and Steven Sondheim among others..

Judy is always the best!

You can't dislike folk music in a mini-skirt :)

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!"

One amazing sing - I've been a fan of hers for about half a century!

My Father is my Fav but i love this song! I found her in the 70s. What a treat to see this.

Glad she revamped the lyrics on this song...a fav...but sing it anyway you want Judy! Saw her in San Francisco back in the early 80s. Fantastic of course. She is a Denver girl. Mile high voice. ❤
