Judy Garland & Lena Horne - Medley

[@mike48877]

You can tell from these clips, that Judy always got a genuine kick of appreciation from the talent of her peers. In spite of her immense talent, Judy was no snob or diva. She was a very loving soul. RIP Lovely Ladies. 🌈

Because of Judy and Lena is why I wanted to do theater, dance, and most of all…sing!! At the age of three, Seeing Judy singing “Over The Rainbow” for the first time, my life has forever changed. And as for Miss Lena Lorne! I will be 45 years old in a few days and I could never be happier than hearing such women who has made a such impact in music and for women!!!

[@joeparish3575]

It amazes me how much Lena made Judy smile. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her that happy performing. They both were great and awesome!!!!

[@Christina-uh8xk]

You will never see this sort of performing ever again!

[@Panamaschild]

Two powerhouse STARS! The chemistry they had was amazing. As I watch Judy watching Lena, you can see that she was mesmerized by the way she sang and performed. Lena not only was a one-of-a-kind singer, but her whole face performed as she sang!

It blows my mind that anyone could come on here after watching this unbelievable pairing and say something even the slightest negative, but that's just a reflection on them. I can feel the love these two had pouring out of the screen. I come back and watch this 3-4x a year, SO amazing

[@sandybeaches3950]

Judy Garland had a good spirit. She seemed to have a good rapport with everyone she sang with.

[@sgabig]

Allegedly CBS execs didn't like Judy Garland touching her guests which supposedly contributed to them canceling her show

[@HoneysEffect]

This was probably the most sweetest thing ever. Such great chemistry together!

[@deuxjournalistes2993]

Despite having such different personalities, they have very similar vocal coordination. The MGM influence is really apparent. The composer and vocal arranger Hugh Martin worked with both of them, as well as Roger Edens, of course, and Kay Thompson. In the 1940's, Judy and Lena socialized quite a bit at Gene Kelly's house parties and did a lot of singing in his living room! Can you imagine how incredible that was to hear?

[@zakariashartley]

The MGM influence being drugs? They're both so high what a shame for them

[@TrangPakbaby]

Lena was also one of Minnelli’s first muses. He adored her and really fought for her during her time at MGM.

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

The only two people who had that 'thing" in their voice that just made a song bigger and bigger the further they got into a song, even when they were singing soft. I've always only recognized that trait in these two here. What a joy to get to this stage in life and KZbin makes it possible for me to see them TOGETHER, which I never would have seen any other way as this aired 14 years before I was born.

[@BestHBCU]

When I look at this pairing I want to scream the word "racism" for Lena and what she was denied, but I can't. It wouldn't address what happened to Judy. Both of these women were shafted. At least Lena Horne had the black community and her father's protection to keep her sane. Judy got the full brunt of Hollywood's depravity and corruption. What I love about this video is the obvious appreciation that these two women have for each other. They are sitting closely, holding hands and joking like friends on a playground. They are having fun. Both paid a heavy price to be able to sit together and enjoy the level of mastery at which they are performing. The ramifications are staggering. Thank you for posting this clip.

[@WitoldBanasik]

Yes, amazing video. Thank for posting the marvellous material. Judy and Lena, they both had to go through the needle hole or hoop it you wish to get where they were and get what they both wanted the most... affection of their audience !

Have you seen the documentary called Sid and Judy? What an eyeopener....The media is the reason for most of our superstars troubles......they try to take them out with their narcissistic belief in themselves that they can do anything.....but the media is no longer relevant...one good thing about the new millennium......So tragic for her.

[@dennisleporte2327]

Dynamic duo. Maybe it's my imagination but it seems to me Lena is a bit protective of Judy which is rather sweet.

[@michele2855]

[@vintageincolor]

Say, try listening to Josephine Baker's "I've Got You Under My Skin," one of Cole Porter's many evergreens. Yes, indeed, a BYGONE era, for sure!

[@pfdesilva2076]

Judy loved talent. She adored Lena Horne and liked Diahann Carroll They were on her 1963-64 show. I remember seeing these shows as little kid. Also Lena dated Vincent Minnelli, and Judy married him.

[@jonathankieranwriter]

Ahem.

[@marquitastrickland8018]

they both look so stunning

[@thehopeofeden597]

Seeing Judy get a genuine laugh is the best way to start my morning.

[@SaxonC]

It was great to see Lena warm up to Judy by this time into this episode. The beginning you can see Lena wasn't too warm to Judy when they did the opening number and Judy tried very hard for Lena to open up and Judy was always a great hostess. Judy was a very giving performer, never afraid of sharing and shining the spotlight to her guests, especially female guests. Judy was very comfortable and never felt threatened by anyone she shared the stage with..

[@Jamestown-y9j]

It called confidence in your abilities, and respecting the abilities of your peers.

[@learhaynes1002]

R.I.P. to Lena Horne and Judy Garland.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Hollywood missed the boat with Horne. They could've extracted much more from that fine wine than they did. Like her counterpart, Frank Silvera, himself of the same mixed heritage, or even Merle Oberon, also of mixed heritage, Horne could've been cast in a variety of ethnic roles. Anthony Quinn and Charles Bronson often played out of their respective ethnicities. We didn't get enough Horne the fantastic dancer. Would've loved to see her teamed with both Kelly and Astaire in a paso doble. But luckily enough, we do have something worth hanging onto in remembrance of Horne!

[@msvick66]

Could be a blessing for Horne though, maybe why she lived so long. Unlike Judy and so many others that they pushed and pushed and drained everything out of them. Only so much pressure a human can withstand in life.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

msvick66 That's one way of looking at it. But Horne was TOUGH mentally, far tougher than Garland. Diana Ross has that TOUGHNESS, too. But poor Dorothy Dandridge was troubled long before she got to Hollywood, as a well done biography reveals.

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

Dorothy Dandridge still had a very successful career may her soul rest in peace it's shocking she got far in her career in such harsh times in those days so many Black women look up to her Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston (RIP) Beyonce even Halle Berry played her in Dorothy's biopic so many more.

[@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736]

Jay Young Judy was addicted to drugs since the age of 10. I have read and seen biographies of BOTH women, and Lena did not have to endure that.

[@luvlivlrn]

I just love when Lena sings at 2:02! She's such a ball of fun!

[@SaxonC]

Judy might not have shown up for rehearsals during her series but she was amazing when it was air time. She had a photgraphic memory. Judy only needed to be shown something once or twice. Sid Luft said that she only read the script for A Star is Born once & never picked it up again. It's natural that when you have that kind of gift, it becomes second nature to us & we forget that not everyone has the ability to memorize so precise. Judy needed little direction & her work speaks for itself.

[@PeaceFan1]

This was my FAVORITE Episode of The Judy Garland Show... I can just watch it Over and Over ... They both had the BEST Chemistry between each other and I read where Lena was Pissed at Judy because she didn't want to rehearse ... But then later recalled how much she LOVED doing the show because Judy was such a PRO .... Judy Obviously didn't NEED to rehearse...she could go on and just PERFORM, because of her GREATNESS ..Much Better Duet Partners than her and Streisand...AMAZING!! xo
