Collins, whose early career featured songs of the ’60s by Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, over the course of the next 50-plus years has become known for recordings of work by artists like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, Joan Baez and Dolly Parton, as well as her own compositions.

Her performance of Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” from the 1967 “Wildflowers” album, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. And her version of “Send in the Clowns,” written by Stephen Sondheim for the musical “A Little Night Music,” won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards.
