Born in Seattle in 1939- Judy Collins- a folk singer-songwriter had from 1967-79 10 Hot 100 singles with 4 making the Top 40. Her biggest hit was a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” which went to #8 in 1968.
Never heard this Hans…this is excellent.
I remember when this song came out. It’s lovely, though I thought it was an unusual song to be released as a single at that time, when the big hits were songs like “Knock Three Times”, “Domino”, “Stoney End”, “Rose Garden” and the horrific “One Bad Apple”
This single spent 67 weeks in the UK singles chart. Incredible.
