From The Judy Garland Show #19, 1964.

One of the greatest entertainer in the history, that is Judy.

The studio audience doesn't get the opening joke about Jeannette MacDonald "standing in the ruins and sang". But the female violinist over Judy's right shoulder is grinning as she plays.

Judy's star still shines bright. They'll never close the book on this lady. She knew what music was for. I've adored her all my life. When I was four, the original cut of "A Star is Born" was in town, one of the rare chances to see the entire uncut film never to be seen again. I was mooing over that face between the hands in the newspaper, had begged my family to take me. "He won't know what it's about or who she is", I can still hear them saying. I knew damn well who she was, a kid as battered as I was, who still got up smiling! Judy taught me how to always smile. Just wait till I see you people again, keeping a kid away from Judy. I will be kicking some behinds in Heaven!

How we all prefer to remember her.. .

Joan River's was right. This world is MEAN. Here is one of the most brilliantly-talented, emotionally-honest artists who ever lived. She could belt a song and sustain a note to leave you in awe. Yet she seemed so vulnerable and so many of her performances just cried out, "I need love." How could this wonderful artist and genuinely warm human being die in debt?? She paid such a heavy price, but she touched so many of us. I just love her.

I could answer your question, but I think it was rhetorical.

Lyrics I never will forget, Mmmm...Jeanette MacDonald Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang... San Francisco, open your golden gate You'll let nobody wait outside your door San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one Saying I'll wander no more Other places only make me love you best Tell me you're the one in all the golden west San Francisco, I'm coming home again Never to roam again... San Francisco, right when I arrive I really come alive... And you will laugh to see me Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car San Francisco, let me beat my feet Up and down Market Street I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark From the top of the mark There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge And the Bridge of San Louis Rey But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge Is the bridge accross the bay San Francisco, I'm coming home again Never to roam again, by gum San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco San Francisco, here I come!

Thanks for the lyrics! I had trouble finding them on the internet.

I still prefer the original in the movie with Clark Gable.

[@shivkptheorganist3809]

Agreed!! As much as I love Judy Garland, Jeanette Macdonald was the lady I'll always associate this song with! I literally love Jeanette Macdonald that much and the film too!
