1982 Judy Collins – Times Of Our Lives

, , , , ,

Times Of Our Lives is an album by Judy Collins, released in 1982. It peaked at #190 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts. In 1981, prior to the album’s release, Collins appeared on the CBS soap Guiding Light, performing two songs from the (then) forthcoming album: “Great Expectations” and “It’s Gonna Be One of Those Nights”.

The single of “Memory” by Andrew Lloyd Webber from the Broadway musical “Cats” was the earliest released version of the song by a singer (apart from its Broadway Cast Album). It was quickly followed by another version by Barbra Streisand.
