Pete Seeger & Judy Collins - Turn, Turn, Turn (1966)

[@elizabethlamont6788]

A few weeks ago I was so blessed to see Judy Collins perform live in a beautiful theater in my town. She is 84 now! And sounded wonderful and told great stories from her early years in Greenwich Village etc. I love Turn, Turn, Turn. Putting Scripture to current music to help us connect with it is powerful. Blessings, friends!

We did not realize just how lucky we were back then... Now that I am 83 , do not regret anything...

in the seventies all of my friends and of course me too had a pete seeger greatest hits album.... "little boxes", "if i had a hammer", "where have all the flowers gone" and all these wonderful songs were part of our identity as "freaks". and all these freaks would meet practically daily in a little egyptian joint that was called "teehaus" ("teahouse"). you could choose from many sorts of tea there, no alcohol. only for your first cup of tea you had to pay a minimal amount, all following cups were for free. they also served cheese/spinach pies there and milk rice, everything ridiculously cheap. "teehaus" opened daily at 5 pm and closed when all the young guests had gone, open end. there was a wonderful piano player there, johnny "manhattan" taylor and on the weekends poets and writers would read their poetry. i had my first own poetry reading there, the place was packed. these are wonderful memories for me. i miss these fantastic times very much. regards and best wishes from austria ! ☮

1966 was when the Vietnam War was really starting to ramp up. I know Pete Seeger wrote this song in 1959 but this was the perfect song for 1966. Beautiful Harmony

I remember listening to Pete Seeger in December 1967 outside the New York Public Library when he sang at the end of a demonstration against the Greek hunta who had taken power in Greece. Melina Mercouri participated in the rally as well as Jules Dassin, director and her husband. I had just come from Sweden to New York.

The performance is truly sublime, but what strikes me is the expression in Judy Collins’ eyes as she looks at Pete Seeger. It is an expression we see less and less these days given the increasing egocentricity of our age. It is a mature look of love, kindness and compassion for someone other than herself. I miss that look in people's eyes.

This is the most beautiful and touching rendition of this tune I’m aware of. Pete Seeger”s gentle harmonies against Judy Collin”s clear and loving voice tug at my heart strings. I hope this post doesn’t get removed by a resentful, avaricious rights holder like all the previous ones. If it does, it will pop up again somewhere. This tune embodies the sort of unquenchable freedom that refuses to be silenced. Long live folk music!

I doubt anyone can remove this sublime song. Pete wrote the music and the words are from the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3 v1-8). God doesn't have a copyright lawyer.

And when "musicians" actually knew how to play an instrument.

[@jamesdolan4042]

@@Blinknone Actually I know many extraordinary gifted and talented musicians performing on single instruments and even multi instruments today. It is just that they are not in the forefront of the public realm. Music like all the other arts needs to have a voice in these multimedia times. Popular music today is an art fom and performances need to have a tremendous visual appeal to get the attention of the consumer. There are multiple delivery forms of music today to the consumer, some very, very personal and personalized. Then there is the synthetic music, sometimes called house music and/or electronic music where arrangements are so key to the performance. We cannot forget style and voice, how much of a generational thing that is. Finally there is comparing like with like. Would either Pete Seeger or Judy Collins be regarded as popular music when they produced that version of "Turn, Turn, Turn" was televised. I am not sure, but I don't think so.

This calms my restless soul. I've heard of Judy when I was young. What a heavenly voice.

[@VILJL]

Judy Collins was born in Seattle, Washington on May 1st, 1939. She is a Grammy Award-winning American singer and songwriter with a career spanning over 60 years. She is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she records (which has included folk music, show tunes, pop music, rock and roll and standards) for her social activism, and for the clarity of her voice. Collins has released 28 studio albums, 4 live albums, numerous compilation albums and 4 holiday albums. Today, May 1st, 2021, she is celebrating her 82nd birthday.

[@klynhall6315]

It's a treat to see and hear Judy in her youth. I never even knew she existed when this video was recorded. In 1966 I was fighting for my life in Vietnam. Her politics and my own wouldn't agree.

Same here. I tuned in to their fundraising program and they were promoting their “Folk Rewind” CD set. This was the footage I was met with. I’ve always been into vintage music and footage, but I’m not really familiar with the folk genre. Nevertheless, this really resonated with me. Her voice and Seeger’s harmony, layered with the guitars... it’s chilling. And that gaze of hers too... geez. I’m convinced that art is a sign of the times, and this footage/song really testifies to that. I knew the popular version of this song, but had never heard this version (or much less knew about it)... this is the one I’ll go to from now on!

@@lucreziawalker952 Lucrezia, you are correct. I've loved this song since 1965, when I was 10 years old. It is from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. KJV. However, in the Bible, these passages were written by Solomon, to stress that we must put our eternal destiny/home, ahead of material experiences, things; that are fleeting in this mortal life. Keep your "faithful eye" on your eternal life; with our Creator in Heaven. There; is the ultimate "season". BLESSINGS.

The words are taken from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. I was never comfortable with the statement that there was 'a time for hate'.

Now, finally, I know what those words mean, and I am comforted by them.

[@splodgen]

I think Pete would not have regarded himself as a 'celebrity.' He was not just a great singer, writer and musician but an activist who couldn't be bullied by the fascist goons, politicians or HUAC. He literally put his life on the line at Peekskill, NY. He stood shoulder to shoulder with the civil rights movement and union activists. There is a documentary about Pete, well worth watching, 'The Power Of Song.' Don't just watch Pete, join in with the songs, which is what Pete wanted, but also do what Pete tried, making the world a better place with justice for all.

Vietnam: the civil rights struggle: assassinations (MLK Jr and RFK); the rise of domestic terrorism (e.g., Haymarket Square bombing), presaging the years of the Weather Underground; riots across the country; the disastrous 1968 Democratic Convention, the election of Richard Nixon--it was a terrible year.
