[edit] Current Residence

Should it be mentioned that she currently lives on the Upper West Side of NYC with her husband?

[edit] Early Life

Her father was also a singer and was famous in Denver for the "Chuck Collins Calling" radio show. He was also blind from early childhood. see http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07050/763186-129.stm and Judy Collin's first autobiography. 67.170.228.62 06:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC) Les

[edit] Song for Martin

Anybody know who the subject is in this song? It seems to be a folk singer who didn't manage to break the scene in the same way that she did Martyn Smith 16:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The Martin of the song is Martin Hoffman, who set the Pete Seeger poem "Deportees (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" to music. Some ten years or so later, Hoffman committed suicide. PacificBoy 21:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

SHE WAS HOT!

Just one thing -- "Deportees" is a Woody Guthrie song.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Judy htfl.jpg

Image:Judy htfl.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Times of Your Lives (album title)

Links to the wrong thing. I don't know how to fix it other than just to remove the link, so I left the error for someone else to take care of.Songflower (talk) 04:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death?

I read in this Wikipedia article that Judy Collins died of multiple myeloma in the morning on May 18, 2008 in London. I have been checking Associated Press releases plus have also been using news search engines and have found nothing indicating that she has passed away. Could there possibly be an error here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsq826 (talk • contribs) 07:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I am going to delete this section. I called Judy's office in New York just now 13:30 19 May 2008 (EDT) and they said it is not true. I also checked Google News and Google Web pages and the ONLY page reporting this is Wikipedia. Rlhess (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
