http://dangerousminds.net/comments/stunning_color_footage_of_a_young_joni_mitchell_1966In August of 1966, Joni Mitchell recorded several songs for a Canadian television series called Mon Pays, Mes Chansons. After the music was recorded in the studio (with David Rea backing her on the second guitar), Mitchell was filmed lip-syncing in color against the mind-boggling natural beauty of Canada, the show being a part of a musical salute to the Canadian Centennial of Confederation.
This isnt the earliest TV footage that exists of Joni Mitchell, but its surely the earliest footage of her performing thats in color.
Speaking of mind-boggling beauty, the 22-year-old Mitchell absolutely looksand soundslike an angel here.
Incredibly these clips have been posted on Vimeo for years, but have fewer than 5000 views as of this posting.

I wonder what percentage of people that quote this line know who composed it?

I've seen in polls and discussions of Joni where they usually rank "Blue" as her best album, but for my money, it's "Court and Spark." Not a bad track. I've listened to it countless times.

She definitely has the best cover of "Twisted" I ever heard.
