“One definition for “Icon” is one who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol. Singer, songwriter and entertainer, Judy Collins, told a packed tent at the SKARTS (Skaneateles Arts Council) gala in Skaneateles that she was 1956’s American Idol.
At 70, folk legend, cultural icon Collins, is one part glamour, one part burlesque, shaken up with plenty of talent and life experience. Beyond her elegant “butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth” 21 century evolved Gibson girl persona, she’s essentially an old-fashioned show business person with surprising star quality.”
