Half of these people don’t even know who this legend is. Do yourself a favor and listen to her music, not only the early years. Joni is a living treasure. She helped a lot of us get through our youths. Beautiful soul!
I still remember buying BLUE on vinyl, back in the day. I was just a kid, but the lyrics blew me away, as well as her unique and original guitar playing!! She's written some of the greatest songs, and has an incredible back catalogue. There's NOONE who has her unique voice and sound. Certainly no new female artists can match her!! A true original.
Those who tag her as a "folk singer" are missing the point. She is complex in a way that continues to entertain and allows us to rediscover her again and again. If you are just starting to listen to her music you have years of enjoyment and wonder ahead. The real deal and a true artist in every way
60's&70's music is a treasure box. Even though it was a bit before my time it was always played in my house. They don't make music or too many musicians like that anymore.
I grew up a true rock and roll guy, and Court and Spark was always in my collection, along with The Who, Pink Floyd, The Dead, et al. Joni rocks. Imho.
She brought class to a classless ceremony (at least it has been for the past 20 years or so). This woman is a musician and artist in the highest sense of those words. If people understood how influential and pivotal she has been in the history of music, she would be winning a lot more awards. Her tunings alone are brilliant mysteries. ♥️
Classless ceremony? Because you don't satisfy with the award results or what? Grammys has not changed much lol. Let's not have this "good old days" bias.
@@marcus22221 I’m an old woman & what I dislike is everyone wishing for the good old days! Everyday in my almost 80 yr old life is a good day! I look @ life from both sides now….thank you,Joanie!
So glad to see Joni's health has improved. Wild to hear her laugh the same eternally girl-ish laugh on "Big Yellow Taxi". Her genius is something that will be studied for generations.
A. She looked cool as hell. B. She's still relevant - one of her songs was featured (in the STORYLINE, no less) of this year's Best Picture Oscar winner (CODA). C. Shout-out to the physical therapist! Doesn't get more real.
Thank you,Joni!! For giving all of us your heart and soul filled songs.Watching you boogie up to that podium was great. Your speech and laughter was simple , sweet and generous as always.You are a hero and a blessing in this or any world you find yourself in.
Joni Mitchell is an icon she still can perform great after all these years she actually owned her Laurel canyon for over 50 years she said she would not sell it cuz her memories are there what a lady and❤
So many of the “reaction videos” on UA-cam have made the music we grew up with (like Joni) relevant to a much younger generation. I think that fantastic. Congratulations Joni. You’re a legend. I’m glad young people are getting “a case of you”.
I envy newcomers to Joni's music, who will have a thrilling journey ahead, but I am happy to be 50 years along that road, with her albums as signposts to events in my life along the way.
How lucky am I to have grown up having JM and others like her in my life. There will never be artists like these ever again. In this easy monotonal throw away musical times, that musical and lyrical brilliance is gone forever.
Both of my children are big fans of Joni’s. If they discovered her music from my collection of her albums I can say I’m proud to have introduced her incredible talent to them.
Love the "Blue" album. Checking out her performances with Jaco, Metheny, Brecker and company. Stunning stuff. Her solo work is stellar as well. She's first rank and if Canada only had her and Glen Gould they'd still have bragging rights. Geniuses.
Nice to see Joni's still hanging in there. She's earned her accolades ~ Time and tide move on for all of us. Let Joni gracefully dance into the sunset -
OMGODDESS I love you Joni! Thanks for picking me up hitching, back in Calgary, before you got really famous! Bless your Soul siSTAR! You made it to the Top! Congratulations Don Juan's Reckless Daughter! ✌💞🇨🇦🎸🙏
I was luckily the Covid era visitor at the hospital (only two per day at different times) through my Mom's last day alive. I played her Mrs. Mitchell's Ladies of The Canyon album as a last piece of music.
Totally adore her! and no, that's not an exaggeration! Just loved the way she walked the stage moving to the music! Thank you, Joni! Thank you today and always! You are an angel!
Shadows and Light is still one of the best live albums ever recorded. I've been a fan since Hissing of Summer Lawns. Most of today's so called stars aren't good enough to polish her guitar strings.
FINALLY. I see so many vids about Joni, but rarely see praise for Shadows and Light. Why? It’s a jewel! And the personnel on that tour! Only the best musicians at the top of their form. S&L is still the most played in my collection ever since 1981 when I bought it.
Too bad... I wish I had have the chance to see her performing live at least once in my life. To me Joni is and always will be my number one in songwriting and as a female vocalist. With every song she wrote and composed she is a great story teller. Thanks for sharing! Hope she still is doing fine. Thanks a lot for sharing. Cheers DimiZ
Isn’t it funny that here all these years later, Joni Mitchell is up against an album “reworking” of Prince’s songs (Sign of the Times) and they were true good friends in life. Prince said it was a Joni Mitchell concert that he went to when he was really young, 17 or 18, and he sat front & center, that left a huge & everlasting impression on him. Joni Mitchell said she remembered seeing him there. She was one of his serious inspirations, they got together socially (per Wendy Melvoin) and he loved her. He also did his own version of “A Case of You” that is hauntingly beautiful.💜
Who could believe this lady was from a tiny prairie town in Alberta Canada? Her insight and imagination went way beyond our borders. To me she was such a part of the peace movement and when I hear her songs I’m 16 again. Thank you Joni 🙏✌🏼
It was so good to see her. It's understandable given her age, and the health problems she's had, that she wasn't entirely mobile, but she was - with her words, her aura and especially that laugh - unmistakably Joni. One of the greatest songwriters of any era.
Joni, darling genius Joni! It's heartbreaking to see her needing physical help walking onto that stage, but thank heavens she is defiantly still with us. Such a deserved win!
Joni was one of those kindred folk who helped form my existence in those formative years 50 some years ago. And after those times, showing me that music was not everything it was seemingly chalked up to be. Especially at time when music was a controlling cultural factor, even an escape from so many realities so many years ago, Joni's wonderful break from her own image, like so many folks being created, crafted, and controlled by the shiny chains of celebrity, those star making machines of that fast changing era of pop culture. Her exit from that limelight also opened me up to a universe of choices & a world of creative independence, a world without a need for a name or identity, a world of poetry & prose, of expressive writing with or without rhymes or reasons, a world of Painting, of thinking in color, gazing through a canvas window at the shadows & shapes of which some became dimensional sculptural realities in still life, and of coarse the free form of jazz, a loopless sound that can be heard and enjoyed without a beginning or an end, a fusion of all the creative senses applied to having a foundation of simple roots coming from folk as Joni. Now years later, thanks to all those simple folk, i too have my favorite cane i use for physical support, those shortcomings i live with daily, and a place in my mind i can go to create or contemplate this long existence without deadlines, agendas, a name or identity. Just feeling as a part of it all. a brush stroke painting a note & creating a sound.
The Grammys today are not the Grammys that use to be. Where's the diversity quality and raw creativity? Granted, there are musicians who have paid their dues in some way or form but an artist like Joni Mitchell is a legend and icon in the true sense of the word. Her music (and generosity in sharing it with us) is an insightful accurate articulation of emotional wisdom and we are the better for it. Everyone in the audience should have taken home a copy of Court and Spark to listen to and realize its brilliance.
Love the little jig Joni did walking across the stage. Fancy dancer ;) You know she sounds better vocally when she speaks. Almost like her younger voice. I would dearly love a little 4 track EP of something new from the queen of voices. Hope you are feeling well enough to create some music Miss Joni. But whatever makes you smile in these days!
Seeing Prince's Sign of the TImes Album nominated along with Joni reminded me that she was one of Prince's top musical inspirations. He had good taste in music!!
I am in my mid 60s, thus grew up w/ Joni, Prince was a lot like her playing many instruments, writing music/lyrics for self & others, quiet/withdrawn from all the hoopla, style/grace and crosses over many styles of music, folk/folkrock/jazz/blues/african, etc etc etc, Prince admired her & I think he sampled her...yes Joni jiving across the stage w/ cane & all ...gotta love her! she has actually had many severe medical issues thru out her life...yep I have quoted many Joni lyrics over the years and to this day! THANK YOU Joni! you helped me to communicate w/ much more style/grace

The gold standard.
you are so right on all accounts...love her...her music.,her poetry...her!!!
Very nicely said
Nice words Bev.
I’m only 31 but blue got me through so many hard times
omg guys im SO happy that she is able to walk and speak again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ such a legend i love her
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!xoxxoo
Yes, I hadn't seen her in so long since her stroke, glad to see she's made marked improvement since....stay strong Joni, still luv your music!!!
Joni's music has been part of the soundtrack of my life. Forever thankful.
Amen. She was a real comfort back when my heart was a lonely hunter.
She is the songwriter's favorite songwriter. I am so glad I got a chance to see her perform. God Bless you Joni!
Me jealous? Why should I be jealous? No reason to be jealous whatsoever.
Joni Loves Jazz. The cane doesn't stop her swingin'
So happy to see her appreciated. So happy to see her moving. 😊 💚

Indeed. Listening to something like "The Jungle Line" shows that she can not be easily categorised.
I grew up a true rock and roll guy, and Court and Spark was always in my collection, along with The Who, Pink Floyd, The Dead, et al. Joni rocks. Imho.
@@waynej2608 Oh, just those!😉 We had it pretty good didn't we?? Best time period in history for music ❤❤
YES !!!!
To be alive at the same time as Joni is a blessing ❤️👑
It sure is!

She aint bad wit a paint brush either......js....perty amazing!

@Capital Flash. I felt good when I heard that familiar laugh. She touches the soul.

Brings tears to my eyes seeing such an icon and realizing how temporary this existance is.
The next one isn’t temporary though. It is best to always be mindful of that.
I’m 28 and been listening to her since I was a teenager. She is amazing
I just love how she’s dancing to the stage. Her little boogie makes me so happy
In modern music there is Joni and then there is everyone else. Absolutely THE BEST!
This woman is awesome. Her music changed my emotional life. Love her!
Thank you,Joni!! For giving all of us your heart and soul filled songs.Watching you boogie up to that podium was great. Your speech and laughter was simple , sweet and generous as always.You are a hero and a blessing in this or any world you find yourself in.
A living legend. What stories she could tell. The Lady of the Canyon. Glad she has her health.
Genius! I'm in tears watching this.
Joni Mitchell is an icon she still can perform great after all these years she actually owned her Laurel canyon for over 50 years she said she would not sell it cuz her memories are there what a lady and❤
The most wonderful Canadian performer from Saskatchewan. I saw her in the 1960s. Love her.

She's an artist's artist.
She's not just a folk singer/songwriter, she's a LEGEND. Standing ovation!
The Queen. Love you, Joni. ❤🎼🎵🎶
Long live the Queen! this was well deserved, such a timeless cultural album!
So glad to hear her speak again
still has that cute giggle.... ♥
Joni is a TREASURE ♥️
Joni Mitchell Priceless!
✨✨❤️✨✨❤️✨✨
Yay!!!!! You deserve it Joni!!!!!❤️
Joni is an another Canadian talent that keeps on making the world a better place in song.
How lucky am I to have grown up having JM and others like her in my life. There will never be artists like these ever again. In this easy monotonal throw away musical times, that musical and lyrical brilliance is gone forever.

Joni Mitchell Priceless ✨
Wow, she recovered from that stroke!
I still love how she went to the high school I’m currently attending
I’m so glad she’s in great health again! Yay!
Hail the poet of songs of life and a lifestyle in the 1960s and 70s that most people can only dream about.
Love the "Blue" album. Checking out her performances with Jaco, Metheny, Brecker and company. Stunning stuff. Her solo work is stellar as well. She's first rank and if Canada only had her and Glen Gould they'd still have bragging rights. Geniuses.

Time and tide move on for all of us. Let Joni gracefully dance into the sunset -
A living legend indeed 👏
I wonder if any of the young female singers in the room that write songs of heart and mind know that she is the reason they are there.
OMGODDESS I love you Joni!
Thanks for picking me up hitching, back in Calgary, before you got really famous!
Bless your Soul siSTAR!
You made it to the Top!
Congratulations Don Juan's Reckless Daughter!
✌💞🇨🇦🎸🙏
Joni is without a doubt "A musical genius" those words come from Henry Lewy and myself!! Much love Joni!❤
Poetic genius as well! Few compare.
It's crazy how she and a Prince project were up for the same award. He loved and admired her so much. It's awesome she deserved this.
💜💐
LEGEND!!! Genius songwriter. Carved her way thru the music industry with panache and style. CONGRATULATIONS Joni Mitchell my "Court and Spark!"
Thank you so much for this! To see her so recently, while being honored, is a real gift.
I was luckily the Covid era visitor at the hospital (only two per day at different times) through my Mom's last day alive. I played her Mrs. Mitchell's Ladies of The Canyon album as a last piece of music.
Joni Mitchell Priceless ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful and inspiring!! I have so many of her albums and I'll always cherish them.
Joni is still so beautiful xxx
Joni Mitchell’s music (lyrical poetry) parented and shaped my heart like nothing else did. ❤️🩹💖
Totally adore her! and no, that's not an exaggeration! Just loved the way she walked the stage moving to the music! Thank you, Joni! Thank you today and always! You are an angel!
wow she recovered from her stroke really well
Shadows and Light is still one of the best live albums ever recorded. I've been a fan since Hissing of Summer Lawns. Most of today's so called stars aren't good enough to polish her guitar strings.

Listening to Hissing of Summer lawns on headphones is devine!!

Joni Mitchell inspired me to learn to play the guitar and sing. When I first heard “Clouds” in 1969 I was hooked!

JONI, A CANADIAN ICON UNMATCHED IN CANADIAN SONGWRITING AND PERFORMING. BEAUTIFUL WITH UNLIMITED TALENT!!
I thought I saw Joni!!! She is the best!!
The coolest lady ever, her music is pretty magnificent too! Both Sides Now is the best.💓💓
“Oh Amelia, it was just a false alarm”
Oh yes, one of the best songs on one of her best albums!
@@Matthew-ut6ed I say, the best song and the best album (my opinions)
yes absolutely, play/sing this one often, complex and fine…
Check out Rick Beato's wonderful analysis of "Amelia" on UA-cam

Legend ❤️
Queen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tears. She's still beautiful!
A true artist in every since of the word!! TY Joni!❤️

For a woman who has gone through so ouch it is neatening too see her recovery as good as it is and see her as good as she is.
It's wonderful to hear that voice.
her chortle is sublime!

All her albums should win awards.
GREAT guitar player and songwriter...
Joni has been THE most influential woman in American Popular Music ~ hands-down.
Saw her live the first time at the Troubadour,1968-69? Doesn't seem that long ago,if I don't go near a mirror. Goddess love her.
She wrote some amazing lyrical & melodic music. My favorite of hers is "Both Sides Now"
I love hejira
