Judy Collins was first to record "Hello Hooray" (Rolf Kempf) when she issued the 1968 top thirty LP "Who Knows Where The Time Goes". Playing guitar on the release: James Burton, Stephen Stills and Buddy Emmons. Judy was a piano prodigy when she made her debut at age thirteen playing a Mozart piece.

On the album "Billion Dollar Babies" Alice Cooper (Alice Cooper, Michael Bruce, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith) covered "Hello Hooray" most differently in 1973 and released the song peaking at number thirty-five on the Top One Hundred but it did much better in the U.K. at number six and top ten in many European countries. This was appropriately the opening track on the chart topping platinum album.
