Stephen Stills and Judy Collins: A Legendary Love Song

Collins is also a lifelong activist. When she was a kid, just a few years after learning to walk, she learned to tap dance. Outside of music, Collins has published two memoirs, one novel, and, in 1975, was nominated for an Academy Award for the documentary Antonia: A Portrait of the Woman. She's earned five Grammy nominations including one in 2017 and one Grammy win.

Stephen Stills is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and ranked #28 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 'The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time.' He also has the added distinction of being the first artist to be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame twice in one night (for his work with CSN and Buffalo Springfield).

Collins is known for her eclectic palette as a solo artist, melding folk, rock, classical, and jazz into a singular aesthetic. In addition to 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,' Stills is best known for the hits 'For What It's Worth' by Buffalo Springfield and 'Love The One You're With' from his solo debut.

Stills wrote and demoed his legendary love song 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes' to Collins right after he left Buffalo Springfield, before he joined CSN. The two music legends met in 1967 and dated for two years. For this once-in-a-lifetime experience, Stills and Collins will pull from their rich catalogs, debut songs from their upcoming album, due out Summer of 2017, and share warm and intimate stories from their journeys and the 1960s folk and Laurel Canyon scenes they helped build.

Their joint summer tour marks the first time ever that Stills and Collins have been onstage together. This summer, the two icons of folk will celebrate the golden anniversary of their formative time together. Both artists would go on to shape modern music with visionary approaches, but Stills and Collins' short fiery union remains a transformative era for the two artists.

Their tumultuous love affair would later be immortalized by Stills with his composition 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,' performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash on their landmark debut. 50 years ago, singer-songwriter Stephen Still met singer-songwriter Judy Collins, known for her piercing ocean blue eyes.
