JUDY COLLINS - 'Since You've Asked 1989

Judy Collins sings "Since You've Asked," the first of many songs she has written. The performance, taped at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City in 1989, was a benefit for the Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation.

[John-wgxw]

Her ethereal piano accompaniment to that was just perfect.

[vickidavis]

This is my favorite version of this stunning, moving song.

[prairiedan]

Actually Dan Fogelberg's rendition is astonishing and a glowing tribute to Judy's greatness.

[joe-bi-wan]

This song was part of my wedding in 1999. I've loved it ever since.

[garymiller]

Lucky enough to see her in a small venue in early 2019. 30 years after this recorded she still glorious both invoice appearance and grace.

[jeffshumaker]

A most beautiful song----when I first heard "Since You've Asked" in the sixties, it became almost a spiritual to me. The whole "Wildflowers" album became that.

[BikeVermont]

I cannot hear Judy sing this song without crying for joy. Exquisite.

[frenchfilmbug]

She glows when she sings--a beautiful sight to behold!

[jescalia]

What a beautiful face to go with her beautiful voice. Thank you, Judy, for a lifetime of music.

[cheryltaylor]

We had this song at our wedding in 1977. Beautiful then and now, 46 years later.

[writereducator]

Judy is now 80. And performing all over the USA this summer and fall!

[valkyriesardo]

She remains the one and only who does this song justice. One does not gild a lily.

[LeftCoastBias]

Brilliant. Dan Fogelberg's cover on the, "Twin Sons of Different Mothers" album has always been a favorite, but there's nothing quite like hearing a composer's solo performance...

[mainartery]

Ravel, yes. This is her first and best song. She has gone on to do many great works but I still return to "Since You've Asked". 

[MrGottmusik]

Some one mentioned Ravel. Considering the time the accompaniment is truly impressionistic. I want to feel it is all her's. So beautiful, haunting. As though she feels the yearning I've felt in attempting to explain to a loved one how I felt. How did she know?

[MarshaPetro]

Sang this to my husband for my wedding vows 47 years ago

[markwilliams]

Her piano work while singing is amazing . Yes it does have a RavelMiroirs No. 5, "La Vallée des Cloches"  feel.

[wendyyoung]

You can erase it all echos from the canyons that it’s still going to speak it out as being true

[spockmcoyissmart]

Dan Fogelberg did his version of this on the album with his brother Tim Weisberg. Album 'Twin Sons of Different Mothers'

[vickisaunders]

Agree - part of your psyche in terms of a life’s songbook
