Judy Collins welcomes Leonard Cohen to her PBS TV concert performance in this video clip from January 1976. They perform Cohen's song, "Suzanne," which Judy had recorded for her 1966 landmark album, In My Life.
This is a new copy of the footage, and replaces an older one on this channel that had over 630,000 viewings. This new one has better quality video and includes my new embedded ID tag. I have copied and carried over some of the comments from the previous posting. This footage is taken from a PBS TV program, broadcast over 30 years ago in monaural sound, and captured on a Sony SuperBeta hi-fi deck.

The explanations given by Leonard Cohen (found on the internet easily) concerning the words, the meaning of the song could not be guessed. Wonderful ! Great thanks ! Best wishes10 years ago

cmloveland 3 months ago I remember hearing this in the car, in high school, in 1967 -- just Leonard, not Judy. I knew he would be a big name in music, but my friends thought the song was "stupid." I was right. This is a pretty version, and in doing some research I found that Judy actually recorded it the year before he did! Cool.10 years ago

andysocial61 8 months ago I sat outside of a Leonard Cohen concert when my world had fallen apart, reading Summer With Monica...... not to sound grim or anything. A few years later I bought a ticket and saw his Various Positions Tour and it was fantastic!! A joyous celebration of Life!! Leonard Cohen is STILL a vibrant and relevant poet who will live forever, like Mozart & those dudes!! This song is brilliant, no more, no less.......10 years ago

M Hayman 11 months ago I am so glad I stumbled upon this video. This is the best version of 'Suzanne' I have ever heard. And I'm a Cohen/Collins junkie; I've been listening to them (separately, of course) since the sixties. P.S. E-mail the Nobel Prize commitee asking them to give Cohen the Nobel for poetry. Hopefully before he dies (he ain't getting any younger).10 years ago

Sharoncat2008 1 year ago Two of my most favorite singers of all times. What a rare treat. Thank you for sharing. I still treasure two of their very first vinyl albums and their words and melodies are soothing to today's troubled souls.10 years ago

strawberrygirlie76 1 year ago I can't thank you enough for uploading this gorgeous performance. LordGroundhog 1 year ago This is one of my favourite performances of this song. Cohen AND Collins together -- can it get any better than that? (Hint: the correct answer is "No".)10 years ago

MyAlberto59 1 year ago I listened to this song first time in 1976.I was 16 and i was traveling through Spain with my cousin and some friends. We made camp on a hill in front of Toledo and there was this guy playing a guitar and singing this song to a girl. I'll never forget that. I'm 52 now and i remember that moment as though i lived it yesterday. "Suzanne" has been a friend of mine through the years.10 years ago

lichtbroeder 4 months ago I first heard it in high school in1967 or 68. Found it to be totally spiritual, sensual, and full of rich imagery. Wanted to sing it at a school function and was told "no" by the principal. He had a problem with the line, "You can spend the night beside her." Such narrow minded fools are still will us. Thankfully, Leonard Cohen and Judy Collins' music is, too.Related Videos
