Информация о артисте

Джуди Коллинз (англ. Judith Marjorie Collins — род. 1 мая 1939 года в Сиэтле, штат Вашингтон) — американская фолк- и поп-певица, имевшая большой успех в конце 1960-х — начале 1970-х годов. Коллинз, получившая классическое музыкальное образование и считавшаяся перспективной профессиональной пианисткой, дебютировала с альбомом инструментальных пьес, но в начале 1960-х годов заинтересовалась фолк-музыкой и песнями протеста (Вуди Гатри, Пит Сигер) и стала регулярно выступать в студенческих городках и на радиостанциях.

В 1961 году на Elektra Records вышел дебютный поп-альбом 22-летней исполнительницы A Maid of Constant Sorrow. Вскоре в её репертуаре появились песни Тома Пакстона, Фила Окса и Боба Дилана; именно она своим исполнением принесла первую известность многим неизвестным авторам: Леонарду Коэну, Джони Митчелл, Рэнди Ньюману.

Начиная с 1966 года (альбом In My Life) репертуар певицы стал обогащаться новыми влияниями (The Beatles, Жак Брель, Курт Вайль). В 1968 году Коллинз добилась первого успеха в чартах (хит «Both Sides Now», композиция Джони Митчелл, #8), за который получила Грэмми (в номинации "Best Folk Performance). Два года спустя всемирную известность принес ей хит «Amazing Grace» (версия христианского псалма).

В 1970 годах Джуди Коллинз стала часто появляться на телевидении (The Muppet Show, Sesame Street). В 1980-х годах она опубликовала книгу мемуаров «Trust Your Heart» и роман «Shameless». Коллинз продолжает выступать и записываться: на церемонии инаугурации Билла Клинтона в 1993 году она исполнила «Amazing Grace» и «Chelsea Morning». В последние годы она активно сотрудничает с ЮНЕСКО и проводит антивоенные кампании. Read more on Last.fm.

Judy Collins (born Judith Marjorie Collins on May 1, 1939, in Seattle, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter known for the eclectic range of material she records (which has included folk, show tunes, pop, and rock and roll, as well as and standards) and for her social activism. Beginning in 1959, she was drawn to the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s. In 1968 she was awarded a Grammy for "Both Sides Now". Since then she has had an enviable reputation as a singer and for her own compositions.

Though born in Seattle, Washington (where she spent the first ten years of her life), she moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1949. As a child Collins studied classical piano with Antonia Brico, making her public debut at age 13 performing Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos. It was the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s, that piqued Collins' interest and awoke in her a love of lyrics. Three years after her debut as a piano prodigy, she was playing guitar. She eventually made her way to Greenwich Village, New York City, where she busked and played in clubs until she signed with Elektra Records, a record label with which she was associated for 35 years. In 1961, Collins released her first album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow, at the age of 22.

At first she sang traditional folk songs, or songs written by others, in particular the social poets of the time, such as Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, and Bob Dylan. She recorded her own versions of seminal songs of the period, such as Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" and Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn". Collins was also instrumental in bringing then little known composers to a wider public; for example, she recorded songs by Canadian poet Leonard Cohen, and Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.

With her 1967 album Wildflowers, she began to record her own compositions, the first of which was entitled "Since You've Asked". This album also provided Collins with a major hit, and a Grammy award, with her version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now", which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

1968's Who Knows Where the Time Goes was produced by Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills & Nash), with whom Collins was romantically involved at the time (she is the "Judy" of the Stills-written CSN classic "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"). It had a mellow country sound, and included Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon" and the title track, a Sandy Denny song which has been covered by several artists.

By the 1970s, Collins had a solid reputation as an art song singer and folksinger. She had also begun to stand out with her own compositions. She was also known for her broad range of material: her songs from this period include the traditional gospel song "Amazing Grace", the Stephen Sondheim Broadway ballad "Send in the Clowns" (both of which were top 20 hits as singles), and her own compositions such as "My Father" and "Born to the Breed".

In 1979 she posed nude on the album "Hard Times For Lovers".

In more recent years, Collins has taken to writing, producing a memoir, "Trust Your Heart" in 1987, and two novels. Though her record sales are not what they once were, she still records and tours. One of her more recent albums is a collection of songs based on her novel Shameless. She performed at US President Bill Clinton's first inauguration in 1993, singing "Amazing Grace" and "Chelsea Morning". (The Clintons have stated that their daughter Chelsea was named after Collins' recording of the Joni Mitchell song.)


Activism
Like other folk singers of her generation, Collins was drawn to social activism. She is a representative for UNICEF and campaigns on behalf of the abolition of landmines. Following the 1992 death of her son Clark Taylor at age 33 after a long bout with depression and substance abuse, she has also become a strong advocate of suicide prevention. Her 2003 book, Sanity & Grace, chronicles her recovery from her son's suicide and attempts to provide some comfort and guidance to other families dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide. She describes the "Seven T's" as a means for going through this process of recovery: Truth, Therapy, Trust, Try, Treat, Treasure, and Thrive. The Truth is that there should be no guilt in suicide; Therapy helps people express their emotions and seek grief counseling; Trust is the effort to believe that one can make it through the loss and keep a belief in life and in the future; Try means to stay away from drugs and alcohol or any excess--including overeating--as a means to deal with the loss and pain; Treat means to take care of the mind, body, and spirit with exercise and meditation; Treasure means to keep the memory of the moments to be treasured, and for this Collins recommends writing and keeping a journal; and Thrive means to be positive, hopeful, open to love and others, and continuing to know that you can rebuild your life on a basis of hope.
