*Born in 1939, Judy Collins has entertained crowds with song since the age of 13. Although primarily known for folk songs, Collins made her first public appearance playing Mozart's “Concerto for Two Pianos” while an adolescent. Subsequently, she discovered the works of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, which inspired her to switch her focus to the guitar and away from classical music.
*When she was 22, Judy Collins released her first album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow. Several years later, her cover of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now” earned her further acclaim. In 1975, Collins won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year with her version of “Send in the Clowns.”
*Since then, Judy Collins has continued to perform throughout America. Recently, she wrote Sanity and Grace: A Journey of Suicide, Survival and Strength, a memoir detailing how she handled the death of her son.
