Judy Garland-Carolina In the Morning

I love this one. There is something that just screams raw talent about it.

[@johncampolo2177]

When I hear this woman sing I am happy to be alive.

[@ALJarman1]

John Campolo, that is the best summation of Judy's place in show business history I have ever read. You deserve to be quoted!

[@originaltommy]

You just made me cry. Same here.

[@doobej9558]

Bruh...I felt this comment. I got TEARS in my eyes. You ain't never lied, man. Something about when she flips her vibratto switch just infuses sheer joy. Best Judy Garland comment ever.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@doobej9558 I think if Judy were still with us, at 100, she would wonder, "What's all this fuss about this, mmmm... 'Bruh' person? Wh-who exactly is Bruh? Liza! Lorna! Even Joey... SOMEbody explain it to Mama!"

[@user-yo3vt7ft1p]

Right there with you, kid!

[@augustpeter3307]

I saw Garland Live Twice, the last performance for me was a palace towards the tail end of a career. I will never forget the electricity that emanated from this woman on stage! She spoiled me ......I expect lightning from others, but there was only one Judy Garland!

[@SueDNim]

You, sir, are one lucky, lucky man.

[@gberthenson]

What a privilege!

[@lolapavon4780]

August Peter I agree with you ...never saw her live ... Thank god for those tv shows ...

[@SaxonC]

What a thrill it must have been. You’re one of the lucky ones who got to experience her live! 😊

[@jakegladdy3984]

When she sang, God appeared. The world's greatest. Without her, I wouldn't be alive today

[@BHW722]

When I read what was going on at CBS at this time and how badly they treated Judy I got furious. This was JUDY GARLAND! She still came out and did her job and sang this song she had sung on stage since she was a little girl and knocked it out of the park!!

[@briantimmons3044]

What a show it would have it been with Al and Judy doing duets of all of Al Jolson's hits

[@teddycuthbert]

I wish it could've happened!

[@njplr]

Raw talent? I disagree. This is REFINED talent, talent that has been honed in, worked at, and absolutely perfected. For perfect it is. Judy was a consummate entertainer, one who ALWAYS went out there and gave it her all. She knew practice made perfect, that's why she worked her ass off preparing for her concerts. It takes more than sheer talent to become a Legend, and Judy is a Legend...

[@Gary_Jaffe]

Agreed. I call her the greatest talent of the 20th Century. I think the person posting probably mean "PURE talent" (vs. RAW talent).

[@virghammer1]

So WELL observed, njplr! Yes. Worked every generous fiber of her MAGNIFICENTLY GENEROUS SPIRIT, Body, Soul and precious, fragile and ALAS, 🤷‍♀️ terminible vocal cords to the raw BONE for us all. Thanks ALWAYS, Judy Frances Ethel Gumm, for always too-generously showing us all: the Way. ♥️ 🙏🏼 🦅 🌲 🌟

[@JoanBette]

Garland can take the most banal song and make it a work of art. Pure genius!

[@virghammer1]

You are so right, Joan! … But I agree with the intelligent gentleman, Rog, who has also responded to your lovely comment…This song is far from “banal.” No: It’s a small : Umm… LARGE - Lol 😂 ( chuckle)- American classic masterpiece. ❤ 🌲

[@SaxonC]

How can I ever get tired of This Woman's God given voice and showmanship?.. I hope that Heaven consists of listening to Judy Garland for eternity... :)

[@NHWUSuuu]

I don't comment much on YT. I gotta give my props for this, always a favourite recording of mine. The sheer energy of her delivery is momentous, her phrasing built from decades of training, het response to a big letdown was pure class, her power awesome. I often expect nothing less from Judy but this was truly something special. What a performance.

[@MrTiberious]

for what she was going thru at this time...this is amazing.

[@ALJarman1]

I must have watched this fifty times...I never tire of it, I never fail to laugh when she does that spontaneous growl after "....and here's what I'd say", and I practically jump for joy at her unabashed delight in her own spontaneity, which infuses the song from that point onwards. Altogether, it's one of the most delightful three minutes one could spend on KZbin, and I just hope it is never taken off. The greatest entertainer who has ever lived at the top of her game.... it just doesn't get better than this!

[@ALJarman1]

And if it ever DID get better than this, only Judy could do it!

[@SaxonC]

I defy anyone to listen to her singing this song without smiling throughout! She’s magnificent!

[@virghammer1]

She sure is! !!! 🎉❤ 🙏🏼 You seddit, baby!

[@sappleseed]

she doesnt sing her songs, she doesnt act her songs, she lives her songs and brings you right along with her...i defy anyone not to adore and love her...the greatest entertainer of the 20th century who could and did do it all...

[@SaxonC]

sappleseed I 100% agree! Garland is the greatest ever!

[@stsk7]

Greatest of the 20th century is a difficult claim. But top 5 no doubt

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

@@SaxonC Judy wasn't just the greatest entertainer in the world. She was the greatest singer and had she been given the chance, probably one of the greatest actresses. The surface of her talent (limitless) was never really scratched !😱😌🤗

[@SaxonC]

Better than Jolson. This woman is peerless! Heaven for me is listening to her sing for all eternity.

[@cosarkey4275]

"for it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. it was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." -judy garland.

[@carolineorchange21]

i'm obsessed. i've watched this clip every day this week lol - the last "in the morning" is indescribable.

[@Monrocsol]

OhhhAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that part where she screams, is just priceless; I keep repeating that part.

[@3tommye]

Words fail. I'll try: astounding. Let's not forget that this woman had NO professional training. She was born into the vaudeville circuit, as a child....basically a traveling circus thru the US where every performer was expected to "bring it"...without props, microphones, computers. Just SING. And give the audience....their money's worth. Make the audience FEEL IT. She did.

[@craigslivka1]

Judy Garland started off an enormous lighting bolt of raw talent, but had a family that indulged in incredibly funny story telling, a father who owned a movie theatre (and do not forget that Judy was a sponge with a perfect memory and incredibly lightning fast recall, and even after her metro years her memory was still pretty remarkable, and her razor sharp and lightning fast wit was almost always there). the girls went to Lawlors Schoold for Professional Children, as well as becoming part of the Meglin Kiddies, so there was much training on the job, professionally before MGM. All of that existed before she was 12 yrs old, and once at MGM, everyone who was anyone wanted to work with her. And Judy being the amazing bundle of talent, who was also a sponge that soaked up other performers genius ideas/material, who had a letter perfect memory, with a razor sharp wit, relished this opportunity and learned so much from all of the professionals that were in utter awe of her. Finally when she left Metro at 28 (thinking in todays actor terms), she had completed jr high/high school/college and grad school (I have known many successful actors who go to Grad school to learn and get their agents, and have had really good careers, in their 30s) at MGM, who could ask for a better training ground than people like Roger Edens, Chuck Walters, Gene Kelly, Dottie Ponedel, Vincent Minnelli, and the list is endless, she learned from the best, because they all saw the amazing raw talent, and were fortunate enough to have had a chance(s) to work/mold/impart what the talents/ideas they could to help enable Judy to achieve what they and she knew she had. asounding yes, words fail, more often than not, but you cannot say she did not have professional training. Arthur Freed said it best. Judy was at the right time, in the right place, and was the right person for what she was to do.

[@ALJarman1]

Very well-put, Craig, and I think that it's important to realise, as you have said, that she was, in addition to having this amazing talent, perhaps the most intelligent movie star Hollywood ever had... no wonder people like Roger Edens, Chuck Walters, and Kay Thompson (don't forget Kay!) attached themselves to her from her earliest days at MGM, and STAYED attached: Roger and Kay, and Hugh Martin, were still there, in 1961, in her dressing room before the Carnegie Hall concert. That's loyalty!

[@SaxonC]

This was the last show of her series and her energy is off the chart she made sure she gave her audience the best .. There is a reason that her dressing room door didnt say Judy Garland on it. It read "The LEGEND"

[@SaxonC]

Lucille Ball herself stormed the office of Jim Aubrey and told him and his henchmen what they are doing to Garland was wrong and that you don't treat a star like Judy they they were treating her. Lucille Ball had Class and was a Great Friend to Judy.

[@user-yo3vt7ft1p]

True. Few people knew that.

[@alexandrabillings99]

She could do anything. Anything.

[@chevychase]

It's hard not to adore Judy Garland.

[@SaxonC]

The Greatest voice ALMIGHTY God bestowed upon a person! Unbeatable and unbelievable!

[@bobryan533]

God, what a talent, and she made every song she sang, hers.

[@davidkirkman4761]

Ooooh...NUTTIN' could be finer than to be in Carolina. Oh nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the...MOOOOOOOR The MOOOOR-OOOOR- OOOORniiiiiing! *ignores the banging on his wall from neighbours*

[@virghammer1]

😂 😂 😂. Do it, David !! 😂 ❤

[@TheSilvergold45]

Judy was a doll and a magnificent talent.

[@megchristie1]

Ican't get enough of this one.

[@betvessella7468]

I just love her so much. I wish she was still with us today!! R.I.P. JUDY GARLAND

[@SaxonC]

I agree with you on What you said about Jim Aubrey. He hated this Woman who was like a National Treasure. Lucille Ball herself came to Judy's aid and stormed the CBS Brass' office and told them they how dare they treat a Star of Garland's Magnitude that way. She was appalled when she kept hearing the guests calling Judy a "Little Old Lady". Lucille Ball had great Clout at CBS. That is another reason why I love Lucy

[@brianrappleye9078]

The lady could sing! What a unique style.. all her own.

[@feliperojasanchez]

SOOOOO BEEEEAAAUUUUTIFUULLLLLL!!!!

[@virghammer1]

Y E A H !!!!!!!!! ❤ 🌟 🙏🏼

[@xxxyorks]

Great tune great lady

[@mari69diaz]

She is, was out of this world

[@rivaridge7211]

Judy first sang this very song at about the age of six or seven on her Dad's stage. A Garland classic to be sure.

[@virghammer1]

Well observed, Riva Ridge! 1 of the best American classic songs ever written, in my estimation… & ONLY the Legend that was Judy Garland could knock it out of the cosmic ballpark like THIS. 🙏🏼 ♥️ 🌟 🌲 🦅

[@PeaceFan1]

I totally agree with you, bhw722..The head of CBS hated Judy and called her a c_nt ..No, HE IS THE C_NT !! Here Judy is The World's GREATEST Entertainer ..believed to be not only by her fans but every performer of her generation, a lot of whom were on her show..ie. Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett etc..so for that guy from CBS...I think Aubrey was his last name, to ruin that show was ridiculous and stupid ..it killed her emotionally ...F him ...Love you Judy ...xo

[@virghammer1]

Nothin’ Could Be Finer Than to Thrill to Judy Garland: In the MOOOOORnin’! ( and the evenin’ and the Nighttime !!!!! etc. ) JUDY FOREVER! ♥️ ❤ 🌟 🙏🏼

Love the dress, voice, person, need I go on...

CAROLINA gotta Love it!!!!!!

[@virghammer1]

BRAVA, Judy Frances Ethel Gumm!! MASTERFULLY generous as always, 🙏🏼 🌲 🦅 ☀️ ♥️ This song - one of the greatest American classics ever written, in my belief n’ estimation; Thank and Bless you forevermore, Walter Donaldson, for such peerless chromatic harmonica structure! ❤❤❤❤❤ & equally, Gus Kahn, for such perfect lyrics 🐸😍👄!- This song brings nothing but pure joy to everyone who has ever heard it. THANKS ALWAYS, Judy, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, etc. etc. - WELL: JUDY 🌟 way more than them!! Lol but- and especially? to you, Walter and Gus, for writing it. 💕 🎵 🙏🏼 ☀️ 🦋 🌲 🌿

[@georgehewett6243]

My two favorite renditions of this song are hers and the recording by Kay Kyser and His Orchestra.

Judy Garland. “Sem igual, cantando ilumina nosso coração “

[@bellini7verdi]

yo pienso que es la gran cantante del siglo.........es un caso aparte........

[@xxxyorks]

wow

[@johncampolo2177]

When I hear this woman sing it blows me away!! What a voice!! THis should be required watching for all school kids just to show them what REAL TALENT IS!!! Not the crap like madonna, Beyoce, RAP "music", Mirah Carey, etc. OUr kids are growing up with that kindd of crap!!!!

[@ALJarman1]

John, kids are not fools. They have to say they like all the crap because that's the way to be seen as cool. I have five kids, and they all grew up listening to the latest garbage.....but they also grew up listening to Judy Garland because I played her to them constantly. Well, three of them now have musical careers... and they didn't get to where they were headed because they listened to Madonna, etc! They got there by seeing what real talent is! And today, all grown up, they all love Judy!

[@monrocsol1739]

Those movie makers that fed her and others, Speed and Barbituates are to blame for her miserable life.

[@funkytune2006]

my old time favourite song that i used to sing to the old gals,, If only i had judy's arrangement. a Power House Song..Remade By The Queen Of Broaway...........

[@savannaashlenbryant3992]

I'm leaning this song in music

[@PeaceFan1]

I never knew that NFitalianGuy ..Wow ..I knew that Lucille Ball loved Judy and they were great friend's...That was an amazing gesture on her part ..too bad it didn't work ..You seem to know a lot about all things Judy Garland ...where have you gotten all your info..? Bio's ? It is really remarkable to me to see all the adoration for Judy by soo many people..young and old ..I wish she could see all of her fans on KZbin, so she'd know how much she is adored and loved still ...xo

[@PatrickGallagher2269]

she sings this song awsomely, Lorna sings it two

[@SaxonC]

Patrick Gallagher Lorna singing should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Judy Garland. Judy’s voice was sheer perfection and Lorna is not even a pale imitation... Liza can’t even out do her mother.

[@SaxonC]

Judy lived & felt each song she ever sang & did it with such ease! I've listened to both of daughters belting out songs at their peak,but they seem to always faulter vocally. Judy had the original voice but neither daughter got enough of Judy's vocal talent to sound as smooth like Judy at Carnegie hall. Lorna always seems to think if she holds a note longer and over does the vibrato that she can excite and move the audience the way Judy always could..She doesnt even have a signature song.

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

That's exactly what I felt when I heard Lorna holding notes longer using more vibrato. Years ago I thought I was the only one who sensed this!!!😉 ( She always does this when ever she sings with her mother)🤔

[@user-le6ef4je8l]

用命在演出，好火哦

[@artistphx]

She was Garland..not much more than you could say about this or should have to.

[@emirozaslan7853]

İf you came from Daffy duck- book revue, THUMBS UPP !!

[@ckclair]

This song was written about North Carolina.

[@pdecker99]

thats why it was played at the nashville world's fair in 1982 by a South Carolina marching Band?

[@BSealeFLent]

Pholland64 Holland it was written about North Carolina but that doesnt dismiss South Carolina from using and loving it bc the 2 states arent much different

[@virghammer1]

😂 🙄 🙄 🙄 💥

[@virghammer1]

Exactly, Mr. Holland and “Bigger Than.” 🎯

[@michaelbauers8800]

It's funny to hear her sing it without a change of lyrics to make it a woman singing about a man.

[@njplr]

LOVE that about her. She does the same when singing "For me and my gal". She is so damn good, she just transcends sexuality.

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

As we like to say in my musical circle: She DUMPED this!!! I didn't even like this song until I heard her sing it. This was always a "corny" song to me. It is corny no more.

[@haydenmccallum1768]

Thought she was gonna have a heart attack! Ppl call this a great performance but all I see is the alcohol and the pills and the poverty coming out of her guttural cry for help in this song. She doesn’t seem well.

[@virghammer1]

Well. Gotta feel: simply sorry for you, Mr. Mccallum . To twist such power here, such massive ability, such ability to bring SUCH UNRIVALLED JOY: Joy! to millions - LITERALLY!- millions! Wow, eh? 😮- of people - , such professionalism… And choose only to see your own - apparently - need for negativity …. only? 😢 🤷‍♀️ Be well.
