JUDY COLLINS - "I Think It's Going To Rain Today" HD 1967

[@jondoe8889]

The Smothers Brothers was the gold standard of musical acts on TV. And a great job by Judy. This can't be an easy song to make your own!

This is some song, some performance. It brings back my happier days as a teenager along with Reflections of My Life

[@bobgolen]

To me this is the best era of music. Not before, not after.

[@MrDarylgene]

Early Dylan, Joan Baez, PPM, New Christy Minstrels, Donovan, Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, and Sweet Judy Blue Eyes, how could it not be the best era?

Magnificent. This song breaks my heart every time I hear it. I have loved it since I first heard it in 1967. I have only began to fully appreciate what a treasure Judy Collins is to us all.

I love Judy Collins pure voice and heartfelt emotion. If you like this I also recommend " Farewell to Tarwathie"

A beautiful rendition of a great work by Randy Newman. It will never lose its poignance or resonance.

Heard someone sing this as background on "Scandal." I realized that I knew all the lyrics. I finally remembered where I knew it from. Judy Collins. Years ago and she is still an icon in my memories.

Love that run on the keys just after "and I think it's going to rain today"!

[@AtlantaGymFan]

A fabulous song that has many different vocalists promoting the sad, lost words and music.

[@Treebard]

Amazing, amazing voice and delivery and feeling! thanks.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Thanks for posting. this is not playback or lip synching. She is singing, and damn well

[@jilliejillsinger]

Amazing talent. Such an influence on American Music.

So Super Chévere

i saw the same episode Kathy...but now that Ms. Streisand (pronounced Stry-Sand with an "S," my friend Liza is pronounced Lye-Za)! is pushing it on her latest album, no one has come close to interpreting this gorgeous song like Judy Collins. Can you imagine she first sang it in 1966! One of our true folk troubadors.

[@mtchair4me]

Superb .

[@Jefferytadair]

One of my favorite renditions of this song. Judy Collins at her best. Bette Midler and Nina Simone have also covered it very well. However, this version is beautiful and haunting at the same time. The song writer Randy Newman at his very best.

[@chinzebo]

Thank you for sharing!

[@LUVDATTUNE]

I also saw this original performance in 1967. This is one of the very best. She recorded and popularized this song two years before Randy Newman recorded it on his debut album in 1968. To date, there have been well over 50 covers of this beautiful song. Two Excellent covers you may want to check out are by David Gray and Norah Jones. They both do Randy proud!

[@markmerzweiler909]

Tommy Smothers was so young here...

[@joetke]

Composer Randy Newman's performance is the best around despite the beautiful voice of Judy Collins

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Couldn't disagree more!

[@jameschar24]

Always difficult to remake a classic. While I prefer Randy's live version on the BBC, she does a nice rendition

[@CARambolagen]

much nicer than her version of both sides now

[@Plathianloner]

Love this....what's the song about?

[@Plathianloner]

+harvey1954 But she sings about "human kindness, it's overflowing"

[@matOpera]

Steve Gorrell sarcasm ridden with pain

[@joecoffee4391]

I remember when this was on TV. I think I got up and made a peanut butter sandwich.

[@DestructorSVK]

I don't know about this song. Is it sad? Is it not? I kind of think it's about a homeless person, but I'm not really sure

[@spking4149]

Obviously this song is not super lyrically advanced, it’s all about delivery and timing. Randy sings it like it’s supposed to be. It’s a tough take on life, not a pop song. Seems like a poor choice.
