Lady of the clouds and the big yellow taxi has been taken to hospital.

Wishing her well and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Love both those songs. This one is another favourite.

Hope she recovers.

I heard that too. Nearly fell off my chair when they said she was 71. I still think of her like she was in the video. Means I'm getting old too. Hope she is ok.

Was it Joni Michell who sang "Oh, Lord, Won't You Send Me A Mercedes Benz"?

She is one of my all time favourites. I went to her concert back in 1980. She still had such a beautiful voice back then. I hope that she is back on her feet very soon.

One of my favourite songs

Both sides now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQSlH-LLTQ

A song that was recorded by Judy Collins and Frank Sinatra.

A very humbling song.

One of the first 'Hippy Chicks', with an unusual and distinguished voice, plus remarkable song writing abilities. I believe she has some sort of rare skin desease, but this would hardly explain her collapsing. Just listened to the BBC news (6.00 pm) and so far no further information than there was on their earlier (1.00 pm) bulletin..

JONI.
