[@jeffbassin630]

There is only ONE Judy Garland - WOW! She's magnificent.

[@mlockey1]

The best singer of the 20th century. What a great rendition of His is the Only Music that Makes Me Dance.

[@marijooneill8015]

There is no one that can compare to Judy. She is still beloved by we, her fans. The people around her used ,& abused her starting with her Mother, and the others thar claimed they cared about her just used her and she was too weak to fight back.

[@catchawave1963]

When I see this show, I think of what year 2 of her series could have been!

[@kenneth3265]

Maybe it could have avoided a early death she was doing what she loved

[@deanrobinson711]

She sings the crap out of every single word. She is a songbird. I love her.

[@kenneth3265]

Yes she does Frank Sinatra once said every time she sings a part of her would die

[@SaxonC]

She is a legend! The audience was “with” her 1000% They broke out in applause several times during her songs because of her greatness! I don’t remember any other singer invoking such emotion in their audiences like Garland! She loved and was very protective of her audiences! A great lady who was The Greatest Entertainer the world has ever seen and yet always gracious to her fans.

I consider myself a true Garland fan, but was unaware of this performance and have never heard of this weekly broadcast series....the quality of the tape is poor....still, Judy's inimitable style, charisma, and talent are magnificent ..she is in excellent voice...she looks relaxed and is enjoying herself..and the audience...my God...they go nuts and their love lifts her higher and higher (to quote an unrelated song). I am glad Judy felt their love. Thank you for posting this video

[@fromthesidelines]

"ON BROADWAY TONIGHT" was originally Danny Kaye's 1964 summer replacement- and returned in January 1965 for a brief three month period. Its focus was on "up and coming talent", with a guest celebrity performing.

On her TV show she sang Almost Like Being in Love, starting sitting on the piano bench by the pianist and changing keys again and again throughout the song, ending with her usual knock-em-dead notes. Hypnotizing.

A friend sent this link and called it pure gold. I'd rather compare it to platinum and diamonds. It shines like the top of the Chrysler Building! I am, once again, in awe of her talent.

[@carmeniglesias959]

I came to the US in 1991. Never heard of Judy Garland before. I am fascinated by her greatness, talent, and personality. Looking for her daughter Liza 's common things, who is great too. I wish I could have seen her before. Discovered with the duo with Barbra who was well known in Cuba.

[@c004857]

The way she took her bows is originally hers. A signature of hers. I think Liza does it too in her performances. It's not a full bow but rather like a nod to the audience. A true entertainer if ever there is one.

[@MrPerryGrant]

This is my absolute favorite Judy Tv appearance ..i love the audiences reaction to their queen and i think she is marvelous here ....i think if i had a teeny part of her ability to entertain and deliver i would be grateful ...Judy's vocal chords were slightly damaged after a Tracheotomy procedure which was administered after she nearly passed away in Hong Kong in 1964 .....she recovered and gave years more brilliant performances ...Frank Sinatra's voice changed slightly ..we didn't care ! Neither did we about Judy's ..it was a thrill to see her and hear her ..and she was still more magnetic than any other performer before or after . Her Forest Hills Performance in 1965 and closing night at the Palace in 1967 proves that the vocal superiority was still there ...but it was her "presence" that was the amazing feature too ..in short we adored her and she is still greatly missed .

[@michaelmcgarry7701]

I couldn't agree more...

[@robscott8464]

[@geoffreyfox9801]

This is wonderful! Look how she overcame a serious life-threatening illness and brush with death. Begleman and Fields had diddled her out of the $10 million dollars she had earned in the previous five years, doubled billed her and double taxed her, used her show for a launching pad for their clients...and left her for dead. But here she is...doing her best. Irving Mansfield (husband of Jacqueline Susann)the Producer for On Broadway Tonight stated that he had more than 14,000 requests for tickets for this taping by Judy'sfans!

[@gabe-po9yi]

And just before that her husband Sid Luft spent all of her money, which is why she went with the two shysters. Edit: I came to learn that it was Luft who recommended Judy to F & B. There’s no doubt in my mind the reason he steered her to their newly formed and, therefore, unproven company was that he was able to get Begelman to conspire with him to steal and split her money while under their management. A shyster knows another shyster when he sees one.

[@elizabethdacosta5601]

Wasn’t that great? Her voice definitely sounds a little weak here, but she is so much more than tiny variations in her voice! She is a singing actress and entertainer unparalleled! I read the most beautiful tribute someone wrote after she performed “The Party’s Over” with a sore throat that gave a little hoarseness to her voice, which was perfect for that song. As he said, it gave the song even more poignancy. It was so beautiful! He wrote a whole paragraph describing the performance, which I can’t remember of course, but it ended with this sentence: .......”even when her instrument falters, she is quite simply an untouchable artist.” So beautiful and so true!

[@Belrivers]

Just great seeing a woman with out her breast out. So much expression in the face and pure presence.

[@akrenwinkle]

This show was produced by Irving Mansfield, the husband of Jackie Susann, who wrote "Valley of the Dolls"... a big portion of it based on Judy. Jackie had been at the periphery of showbiz for decades, mostly TV and stage bit parts, but knew a lot. Some of the info she had on Judy was truly insider. One was her walking in on Vincente Minnelli and his boyfriend in bed. Another was Judy's suicide attempt right before her TV special. Both of these wound up in the book. 4:58 I'd like to slap this a-hole in Row 2, Aisle... Judy's giving her all, and he's falling asleep!

[@jl3322]

Was this done at a CBS studio in NYC? Microphone looks like a harmonica. Judy sounded terrific and the audience adored her.

[@juliusmaloney]

Hi Anthony, you seem to have left 'The Music That Makes Me Dance' off your track list (track 4 before Rock-a-Bye), the song comes from the original Broadway production of 'Funny Girl'. Judy added it to her concert list in 1964.

[@adf3comcast1]

+Julius Maloney This is the complete Judy segment that I have.

[@juliusmaloney]

Anthony DiFlorio, sorry for the confusion, I mean that in your track list below the video, Judy sings the song in your upload it just isn't mentioned in your credits. JG sings 5 songs. Hope this helps. :)

[@adf3comcast1]

[@juliusmaloney]

This myth that Judy had damaged her voice beyond recognition after the terrible trip to Hong Kong in 1964, is proven a fallacy here!

[@juliusmaloney]

+100177490016396431234 firstly, completely unnecessary to stoop to insults, it’s lazy. Secondly I'm not stating that there isn't a difference just that the idea Judy's voice was completely ruined was not the case.

T.L. is a silly bore...

[@jadezee6316]

her voice is horrible here....makes the rest ofwhat you say...just as dumb

[@jadezee6316]

while not beyond recognition..her voice here is very bad....

[@ALJarman1]

I think it's just too simple to say that she had destroyed her voice after 1964, and then use as proof the growing number of rough performances that followed the Melbourne concert. You can find ample evidence, I think, to the contrary; she could, on occasions, put down a reading every bit as good as the pre-Australia-tour. Example: "It's a New World" at the Harold Arlen tribute in, my God, November 1968. 1968, six months before she died! No, the problem wasn't as much "medical" as it was psychological. Being booed and cat-called in Melbourne, and then trashed in newspapers world-wide (one headline is Australia read, "Is Judy Garland's Brain Damaged?") did something to her self-confidence. She no longer TRUSTED her voice quite as much as she had done in the past. She started cheating the notes in case they didn't come out the way she wanted them too, the way they had before. She started singing less at her concerts and clowning around more, "putting off" the big test. Most of the time, when she DID go for it (check the duet with Vic Damone of West Side Story on the Hollywood Palace Show... or the Palace medley on that same show) she did it every bit as brilliantly as she had in the past... sometimes better. But she was no longer sure of herself, and it showed. So T.L's comment is not " a silly bore"... he has picked up on that new reluctance to test herself in front of thousands of people, in case it turned out to be Melbourne again. But there's no proof that the Hong Kong doctors did anything medically to her voice... that's just a rumour.

[@JCTimlin]

SHE seems NICE.

[@johnniemaddux1226]

Her voice was somewhat husky and constrained here, but she was occasionally able to over come it. In addition, she herself seemed confident and calm; even jubilant. I'm pretty partisan in her favor, as this audience clearly was, but I wonder how this was received by the general tv-watching public in 1965. Many thanks for posting.

[@bradly2007]

It's Judy, those of us who love her didn't pick apart performances as she always gave it all she had and then some, for 1965 Judy is in top form here!

[@Montavanni1]

I remember this well and it was received "relatively" well -- like most of her performances of this time, there are definite traces of beauty/brilliance and tho upon viewing this clip, I find it thrilling and very appreciative that this clips exists and I doubt if I'm alone . . .

Is this some of that "Broadway" show that may have been another live concert album, but Judy decided that it wasen't good enough, so it was cancelled. and years after this great entertainer passed some of that concert was put on a CD and the remaining space left they put some of Judy's TV numbers on it to fill the CD out. The CD was called "Judy Garland Live". Is this confusing to some readers? I'm sorry, but I can't ask this question any other way. Thanks a lot.

@TheBarbraStreisand1 she was suppose to go and re do some songs in 1963 , and do vocal over lays , but was too busy with her TV show by then, so the Judy takes Broadway album was shelved , and they released the Garland touch and the album with cuts from her TV show instead

[@fromthesidelines]

I'm surprised James T. Aubrey, CBS' president, would have allowed her to appear on the program, as the industry KNEW his attitude towards her and her 1963-'64 CBS variety show. He didn't want her to be on "his" network any more than she had to. She defied him by singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic" a few weeks after President Kennedy's assassination, despite his edict that NOTHING was to remind viewers of his death on "his" entertainment programs {"Let's get back to business", was his attitude; he was privately pissed that CBS lost several hundred million dollars in ad revenue by pre-empting their regular schedule to allow CBS News to cover the assassination and Kennedy's funeral for four days in November 1963- and he LOATHED the news division encroaching on his more profitable shows}. The audience knew what Judy was honoring.......and that made him more determined than ever to "get rid of her". He did, after 26 weeks, in March 1964. By the end of February 1965, Aubrey was fired, for assorted reasons.

[@cliff9685]
