In Her Own Words JUDY GARLAND Remembers Carnegie Hall

A year after her triumph at Carnegie Hall Judy Garland discusses the concert, touring, and the magic of a good set list. You will also find out that in 1962 Tony Bennett, Kay Starr, Peggy Lee, and Frank Sinatra were getting the most spins on Judy's home turntable. Part 2 coming soon.

"Judy at Carnegie Hall." There has never been, and never will be, a greater night in show business history. Never.

[@pamtebelman2321]

Agree!

[@kimbuck6680]

First woman to win a Grammy for album of the year. Deservingly so

[@harleyjules8828]

Judy was "The Voice" of her time. She needed no electronics or backups to enhance her voice. She is beautiful, true talent. I just love her.

[@rickmartini4811]

Me Too

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

And a great actress!!!❤

[@jimsher9880]

"That little jolt of pleasure." "That something extra." Gone from us for nearly 50 years and damn if she hasn't still got it.

[@user-ub5oy8hz1o]

If she narrated books on tape I’d never read another book. I could listen to her all day. The variety of expression and tone and interest in her speaking voice is as mesmerizing as her singing voice. It makes me think that it’s her heart and mind that are really extraordinary--but on top of it she was blessed with a great voice. What an artist.

[@douglashoffjr1362]

Judy's beauty and charisma comes through even when she is speaking. A very special person.

[@lukegray5528]

There will never be another talent like her...One of the greatest American Voices, one of the greatest actresses ever and a very talented underrated dancer. Truly one in a million.

[@terrysmith8749]

It's spelled ZILLION.

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

A triple threat

[@srobindittrich6599]

Even Judy's speaking voice is a joy to listen to. I love this woman.

[@stevengermadnik3162]

You're right! Her speaking voice is engaging and easy on the ears, meaning that no matter how long she talks her voice never becomes tiresome

[@harleyjules8828]

She is such a respectful, kind, classy lady who cares about her audience. It seems like she gave her all in each performance. I just wish Judy knew how much she was loved.

[@iliketowatchvideos47]

Love her talking voice 💖

[@jakela671]

I was there. The greatest night of entertainment ever. Judy was perfect in every way.

[@WitoldBanasik]

Roger Edens, Mort Lindsey, Harold Arlen, Norman Jeweson, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Burton Lane and Kay Thompson were Judy's best friends, supporters and super professionals who helped Judy out to meddle through all those excitements of her turbulent and majestic larger than life career. Thank you for the marvelous interview !!!!

MARvelous

[@dannychavez7876]

I wish i could have seen Judy live but i turned 1 year old 3 weeks after she died. R I P ❤

[@paulsimpson4155]

I have now returned from ferncliffe cemetery where she lies a lovely place very serene and peaceful so glad I did it , when I think behind that wall lies the worlds greatest entertainer inches from me I felt quite emotional ! I wanted to do it once in my lifetime and now it's done .

[@WitoldBanasik]

Bless you Sir... I feel the same.. Judy was an absolutely divine mysterious magical Artist !

[@pattibrooks1907]

Judy was the best singer actress person funny too sweet too !

[@FLBoy46]

These interviews are priceless.

[@g20938]

My idol, what a legend, she gave it her all!!

[@FreeEnergyTech1]

Incomparable.

[@judyalcatraz918]

Judy is 1 of the greatest entertainers that ever walked this planet

[@dannychavez7876]

The greatest #1

[@hellolater7575]

[@terrygrant3467]

She IS the greatest.

[@terrysmith8749]

She is the GREATEST bar none.

[@aehrab78]

I love you forever Judy❤

[@paulsimpson4155]

A faultless performance she will never die as long as there is her music going to visit her final resting placed in New York in October I need to say thank you for a lifetime of music and films

[@cwtdos1994]

Now she's at Hollywood Forever. 😊

[@mickeymouse2able]

The interviewer is extremely respectful and asks intelligent questions. He respects her intelligence. A bit rare these days

[@lipglosskitten26]

Rest in peace Judy! (:

[@Samarastube]

gosh, thank you so much for posting this. I love hearing Judy talk about the Carnegie Hall night!

[@originaltommy]

Incredible document. I'm in tears hearing this.

[@mymarty23]

So damn good.

[@TheLisab56]

Was anyone there? Please tell me your thoughts. I was so young and remember it vividly. STUNNING.

[@mickeymouse2able]

Love Judy. Saved my life, there I said it. Bless and R.I.P. She deserves rest in peace

[@huascar66]

What do I know? But I think this is probably the best live recording of a concert ever.

[@rshnrvrrbrt]

great interview...interesting...thanks Buzz,

[@nancyhoover2715]

Best singer ever.

[@lenwelch2195]

Judy was always so busy working every day in her short life I really don’t think she had time to know just how great she was or had time to even reflect. Reflection takes time and she worked constantly she was putting out fires every day by constantly working . We all had Judy . Who did Judy have ?

[@lipglosskitten26]

Thanks for posting!

[@suealder3551]

Best entertainer ever in my opinion!

[@dinspringstead6636]

People loved to hear Judy garland sing and always will.

[@mickeymouse2able]

Judy was pretty damn strong considering the era, people don'tgive her credit for that. Amazing

[@pusspleaser134]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@terryhammond1253]

Thanks a zillion for this. 😂😂😂😂

[@kavalkid1]

Excellent! Thank you so much!

[@MrCrowebobby]

I saw the poster for her "concert" at Carnegie Hall in '62 and for some dumb reason thought it meant she was going to appear on stage with other singers. One of the greatest regrets of my 85 years is that I didn't even try to get a ticket.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Judy, who could’ve rested on her laurels, still concerned about getting her audiences involved. “If they’re slow to warm up, you have to work a little harder.” Already working hard from the get-go, she could’ve been bitter about it, thought the audience was stupid.

[@bigbandsrock1]

❤❤❤

[@mickeymouse2able]

Love her word " Mahvelous"

[@SultrySole]

Poor Judy, always has to answer uncomfortable questions

[@ImTash]

Hey buzz! Have you uploaded part 2? I can't seem to find it I would love to hear the rest of it! Judy sounds so relaxed and switched on- having an interviewer who is a pro makes such a difference! I wish Parkinson had been born earlier- his interviews are wonderful and thoughtful- this guy's style really reminds me of him

[@Gemminicus]

Thanks for a great post yet again. I'm wondering who the interviewer is. His voice seems familiar from my childhood & NY area radio but the name is escaping me. I wish someone would back you in putting together a TV documentary. The material you unearth would make for a great program full of the unique, certainly not routine, retreaded same old stories 'about' her but more 'from' her & about the behind the scenes working artist & human being as we hear here. Thanks again.

[@Montavanni1]

Williams B. Williams was the interviewer here. I believe at this point in time he was with WNEW New York.

[@nickyes2292]

Where is part 2?

[@dinspringstead6636]

I wonder how long it was before she passed after this interview

[@stevejarrettnc]

This was in 62, she passed in 69, so a little over 7 years.

[@jazzguy1927]

What makes me angry is all the people who claim to have been at that concert. Carnegie Hall would have to have seated a million people for that to be true. I have had people describe the concert in detail because “they were there” and many of these people weren’t even born in 1961 or before.

[@markwhitman9029]

LOL which makes them liars and stupid if you know they weren't even born by 1961

[@jazzguy1927]

@@markwhitman9029 Thanks a lot for your comment. I have heard people describing in detail the concert and even having programs from the concert but they couldn’t possibly have been there because they were born after 1961. One was giving a lecture on Garland’s life and presented himself as an expert on her later years. This guy charged money to attend his talk too. I looked up the guy online and found out he was born in 1962. When I challenged him and exposed him as a liar that he couldn’t have possibly have attended the Carnegie Hall concert he had security escort me out. As I was escorted out I yelled back at the audience to look this guy up online. He wasn’t born until 1962. He couldn’t possibly have been at that concert. He is making all this up. Also I had a similar experience with a guy at a collectible show claiming he saw Garland in London during her last performance there. Again I looked this guy up and he was another fake born after the concert. I am so sick of all these “they were there” fakes. To me these frauds are dishonoring Judy Garland’s memory. I am a big Garland fan and old enough to have seen her in person but I never claim to have because it is the truth that I didn’t. I never saw her in person. I did get the Carnegie Hall concert lp when it came out. Also you have no idea how many people have told me they were extras in the film Meet Me In St. Louis and offer personal reminiscences of knowing her on the set. Again frauds who weren’t even born when that film was made. I wanted to punch one of these frauds. He said he was an extra and said Garland showed up every day drunk to the set and he said he saw her vomit right in front of him. What a horrible thing to say from a fraud I found out was born in 1946.

[@markwhitman9029]

@@jazzguy1927 thank you for all this report of those nuts. I'm 72 and have seen Liza three times but not Judy. Like you I'm a huge supporter of Judy to all of us the greatest of all time. Also have read every book on her and could probably win a trivia contest but will stop bragging.These people are ill who claim things and I'd just LOL if I were you. When Garland was at her best NO ONE could touch her not Babs,Ella, Billie etc and I love them also.Judy was a genius and her great singing was otherworldly!

[@jazzguy1927]

@@markwhitman9029 if you have read every book on Judy what do you think of that book her husband wrote, My Life With Judy? Did he take care of her or advantage of her or both? Brag all you want because you are an honest admirer and not some blown up story telling fraud. Unfortunately the greater you are the more you attract this scum who only want attention and make up lies to get it.,

[@markwhitman9029]

@@jazzguy1927 Sid was great for Judy and yes have read and reread it. I think this time in Judy's life the most interesting from 1950 on and how she met Sid in New York night club. He had her do all her great concerts and greatest pic "Star". Many negative people say he used her but unfortunately who didn't? After they divorced things really went down and she married all those hangerons!! In the end I believed he truly loved her. They had two great children Lorna and Joey!!
