Judith Marjorie Collins(born May 1, 1939) is
an American singer-songwriter and musician with a career spanning seven
decades. An Academy Award-nominated
documentary director and a Grammy Award-winning
recording artist, she is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she
records (which has included folk music, country, show tunes, pop music, rock and roll and standards), for
her social activism, and for the clarity of her voice. Her
discography consists of 36 studio albums, nine
live albums, numerous compilation albums, four holiday albums, and 21 singles.
Collins' debut studio album, A Maid of
Constant Sorrow, was released in 1961 and
consisted of traditional folk songs. She had
her first charting single with "Hard Lovin' Loser" (Nº 97) from her
fifth studio album In My Life(1966),
but it was the lead single from her
sixth studio album Wildflowers(1967),
"Both Sides, Now" –
written by Joni Mitchell – that gave her international prominence. The single reached Nº 8 on
the Billboard Pop Singles chart and won Collins her first Grammy Award for Best Folk Performance.
She enjoyed further success with her recordings of "Someday Soon",
"Chelsea Morning"
(also written by Mitchell), "Amazing Grace",
"Turn! Turn! Turn!",
and "Cook with Honey".
Collins experienced the biggest success of
her career with her recording of Stephen Sondheim's
"Send in the Clowns"
from her tenth studio album Judith(1975).
The single peaked at Nº 36 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in 1975 and then
again in 1977 at Nº 19, spending 27 non-consecutive weeks on the chart and
earning her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female,
as well as a Grammy Award for Sondheim for Song of the
Year. Judith would also become her best-selling
studio album; it was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1975 for
sales of over 500,000 copies and Platinum in 1996 for sales of over 1,000,000 copies.
In 2017, Collins's rendition of the song
"Amazing Grace"
was selected for preservation in the National
Recording Registry by the Library of
Congress as being "culturally, historically,
or artistically significant". That same year, she received a Grammy Award
nomination for Best Folk
Album for Silver Skies Blue with Ari Hest. In 2019
at the age of 80, she scored her first Nº 1 album on an American Billboard Chart
with Winter
Stories, a duet album with Norwegian singer,
songwriter, and guitarist Jonas Fjeld featuring Chatham
County Line. In 2022, she released her first
studio album of all original material, entitled Spellbound.
Who Knows Where the Time Goes is the seventh
studio album by American singer and songwriter Judy Collins, released
by Elektra Records in 1968. It peaked at Nº 29 on the Billboard 200 charts.
The album was recorded live in the studio and
was Collins' first studio album to be recorded in Los Angeles. Produced by David Anderle, the
album features numerous well-known musicians, including Stephen Stills(credited
as "Steven Stills"). The songs include her own composition "My
Father", Ian Tyson's
"Someday Soon" (which would go on to become one of Collins' signature
songs), two Leonard Cohen compositions ("Story of Isaac"
and "Bird on the Wire"),
the traditional murder ballad "Pretty Polly",
and the title song, "Who Knows
Where the Time Goes", composed by Sandy Denny.
Two versions of the song "Who Knows
Where the Time Goes" were released. Version 1 with only vocal, two
guitars, and bass appeared on the B-side of "Both Sides Now",
on the soundtrack to the 1968 film The Subject
Was Roses, and on the compilation album Colors of the Day. Version
2 is a composite: the first verse is the same take as version 1, but with
everything remixed to the left channel, then crossfading to a different
recording with a larger arrangement, modulated to a different key. Version 2 appears on the album.
Collins' cover of Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning"
was recorded during the Who Knows Where the Time Goes sessions, but not
included on the album; however, a single release of the song, with "Pretty
Polly" as the B-side, charted in August 1969.
"Hello, Hooray",
written by Canadian singer-songwriter Rolf Kempf, was later covered as the
opening track on Alice Cooper's 1973 album Billion
Dollar Babies.
In 1969, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of
over 500,000 copies in the US
Across the morning sky,
All the bird are leaving,
Ah, how can they know it's time to go?
Before the winter fire,
We'll still be dreaming.
I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad deserted shore,
Your fickle friends are leaving,
Ah, but then you know it's time for
them to go,
But I will still be here,
I have no thought of leaving.
I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I'm not alone,
When my love is near me,
And I know, it will be so, till it's
time to go,
So come the storms of winter ,
And then the birds of spring again.
I do not feel the time
Who knows how my love grows?
Who knows where the time goes?
La la la la la la...
Um um um um ...
Do do do do du...
Ah ah ah ah ah...
Um um um um...
