In late
1968, folk singer Judy Collins (to whom Stephen Stills paid tribute in “Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes”) had her only top 10 hit with Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.”
In August of 1969, she released “Chelsea Morning” (another Mitchell song) as a
single; it didn’t do much on the charts, but is well-known for inspiring the
name of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter.
In between
these two, Collins put out “Someday Soon” as a single. This one didn’t have
much commercial success either, peaking at #55, but this poignant ballad
written by Ian Tyson (of Ian and Sylvia fame) is my favorite Judy Collins
recording (although her version of “Amazing Grace” comes close).
