honestly Kat, I sometimes think that your selections are posted to bate me !
Judy Collins meets old Leonard.What next ? Kid Rock does Suzanne ?

Dear Hedley,

In more ways than one you are very correct!!!

However, Judy heard Leonard writing this song and asked if she could sing it on one of her albums.He readily agreed.Although many think it is about the red light district of Montreal, it seems to be a song about two women who helped him in a snowstorm

and of course it can become a sing along version:

My Dear Hedley,

If I knew who Kid Rock was, I might just look for him doing Suzanne!

I love this album. It brings back many memories for me, and I saw her in concert singing most of these songs.

sblake,
I really like Leonard singing this song, but I've played it here, and I don't tend to repeat though it might be worth it with the Leonard.

Kat said...

Thank you, Cuidado!

mmrules,
I was in college too when it first came out, and I got to see Judy sing these songs in concert. I wore out my Leonard!

This is beautiful! This is the kinda stuff that needs to be heard on radio today. It reminds writers and singers to compose melodies and match them to voices, instead of THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

Dan,
Judy and her beautiful voice are never better than on this album. I'm glad you appreciate her.
