Judy Garland | The Andy Williams Show | FULL EPISODE | September 1965

[@russellcandy9850]

Judy looks great and sounds wonderful!! She seems so happy. The audience adores her!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@SaxonC]

When she started singing Over the Rainbow, I gave chills! She’s the greatest of all time

[@davidfritz1331]

That NBC opening was so great. This was the original; later on they shortened it. This was by far the better of the two.

[@sizablesplash7815]

I went to the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids Minnesota today and it said Andy Williams was there in 2011; so I then looked it up to find more and found out about this episode

[@alexandermarquis6197]

I also loved how well she was treated and catered to.Andy is top notch

[@bevacole]

I just love this video. I think I've been watching it for a long time. The skits were hiliarious. Thank you (11/9/2024)

[@jasbegs1258]

Judy looks fabulous.

[@ImTash]

oh my god i love you. i've been wanting to see this in full forever

[@cliff9685]

Judy should have still been doing her own show. Judy’s TV show format was practically the same as this, yet her show seemed way more elegant, but those CBS bastards cancelled her.

[@larryshaver3568]

i was very upset when her show was cancelled too, there was NO excuse for it!

[@mike48877]

I'm still amazed at how elegant and sharp Judy's show looked in those black & white days. At the time, RCA which owned NBC, was pushing color which CBS was not. CBS's first dumb move was putting her up against "BONANZA" -- 2 completely different sets of demographics. Secondly, they made no attempt to move the show to save it -- because they disliked her and wanted the show to fail.

[@davidfritz1331]

How could she have kept doing her own show? She couldn't lip synch the lyrics on this show right from the get-go. And you think she was in any shape to do her own show--where she likely would have had to sing live?

[@mike48877]

@davidfritz1331 Not sure what you are talking about. Less than a dozen songs on the show were lipsynched. The rest were live. Fact is, she was in good shape physically and mentally while doing the show, because she was happy and needed it to make it work. It all boils down to ratings. Ratings equal money, and the show lacked ratings.

[@Sheba531]

It was up against Bonanza, sure that didn't help any.

[@Jayjee762]

Great rendition of Rock-a-bye!!

[@johnnypalermo4620]

David McCallum ... classy 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Judy Garland...beyond classy 🥰

[@andytaylor5476]

Thanks for posting. Judy was great!

[@Adam-Mercer]

She's pure magic here with Andy Williams

[@alexandermarquis6197]

I especially liked the skit Andy does, with the comedian. They're draining Scheiders Pond in the morning. Judy's looks great here. her singing and regular voice sounds great

[@alexandermarquis6197]

They're draining Schneiders swamp in the morning

[@ncavlleguy]

TWO TIMELINES ICONIC LEGENDS TOGETHER!! NOW BABY THATS TALENTED ENTERTAINMENT UNMATCHED !!❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

[@songsoflife]

Thank you for sharing this...fantastic💖🌈

[@RCALivingStereo]

Judy looks good here, unfortunately in 1969 we lost here

[@stevefuji1548]

So great to see Andy and Judy performing together. They seemed to be truly enjoying it. And although her performances were inconsistent by the mid-60's, she's sounding and looking incredible on this show. Maybe because she was enjoying it so much.

[@paulenglund8558]

She was one for the ages.I saw her ishow in Vegas in the late-50s, and saw her again a few years later at Boston Garden. Mesmerising!

[@Ms.HistoryBuff433]

Happy 100th! I wish she was still with us!

[@gabe-po9yi]

I thought it was just a joke about Andy singing in the chorus on Harvey Girls, but he apparently actually did, and on that song. *Was Judy a comic or what. Her timing, facial expressions, intonation, everything.

[@aleolidemu6169]

Funny and fabulous Judy Garland ❤.. 💜🌿

[@alicegray9216]

I love this, especially the clown segment!

[@Marasquinband]

Thank you 🙏 that was awesome

[@sandrastorer5628]

Thanks for posting this. Really liked that show, but my folks must have watched something else, because I didn't get to see it very often when I was growing up. Shout out to the "Charlie Weaver"segment. Very funny, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@stevefuji1548]

The "Atkinson, Topeka & The Santa Fe" number was brilliant. I did a little research and found that MGM vocal director Kay Thompson did, in fact, hire The Williams Brothers to sing on many MGM films, including "The Harvey Girls." I wonder if Judy Garland was aware before this show that she had Andy Williams singing background vocals on her film from 20 years earlier.

[@coreybrix1215]

I read that Andy Williams wrote in his biography that Judy forgot the words to Over the Rainbow. That’s why he started singing with her. I don’t believe it.

[@ImTash]

Me neither

[@joeyjosephs]

Well she started the ending before him, so he was late to join her on the end of rainbow, he also said Judy at this point couldn’t hold notes anymore, which wasn’t true…Judy was having a lot of voice issues around this time…he also said Kay Thompson was Judy god mother, which any fan knows , Kay was Liza’s god mother…..he should know better he was Kay’s secret lover for many years

[@Ms.HistoryBuff433]

Not an Andy fan, but a big Judy fan. I don’t believe him either.

[@aleolidemu6169]

Maybe on rehearsals, because it's clear that he didn't help her at all here. She practically sang it "alone", not with her superb voice, but still beautifully done. Fabulous Judy ❤.. 💜🌿

[@mike48877]

Neither do i... Judy seems in fine form. The medley of her songs with Andy was very well arranged. Two great talents. ❤️

[@saskoilersfan]

There is a sign at the edge of California. It's written... " Abandon truth , all who enter "...welcome to the land of lies and illusions".

[@orbyfan]

Craig Smith is the member of the Good Time Singers with the biggest smile (second from right in the opening number). His story was told in the book "Swim Through the Darkness" by Mike Stax.

[@orbyfan]

He wrote this, which should have been a big hit for Andy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3LQmYd_obWoe8U

[@saskoilersfan]

I found the JFK / Judy Garland connections. I now understand the Kennedy Oz enigmas.

[@jeffpiegari4942]

Do you have any more please

[@ronwade5646]

She had been over medicated since her teens, she chain smoked and consumed alcohol. She was Normal and incredible!

[@KRISTIANITY_]

There's one thing on my mind I can never get rid of. This literally looks like it was filmed in the 80s, and it was actually in 65. Such clear, modern-like TV footage, just 3 years after Marilyn Monroe died. And yet, if you look at Marilyn's appearances (outside of movies), there's literally no footage of her like this one (and others) of Judy. All of Marilyn's stuff looks like it was filmed like a century ago, all black and white, horrible picture and sound, looking like pre-WWII stuff. And yet the time-span between them was so short. Where is this discrepancy coming from, did they start mass production of color TV in 1963 or something?

[@mike48877]

As I recall, '62 thru '66 was a big push to color. It became more affordable, and most "middle class" people could afford it. More and more shows were being broadcast "in color."

[@juanpablotesore3140]

THE SAME HAPPENS WITH KENEDY, HE WAS NOT CAPTURED BY ANY COLOR CAMERA OR AT LEAST IT WAS NOT RECORDED ON VIDEOTAPE TAPES, MARILYN WAS CAPTURED BY TV CAMERAS ON THE JACK BENY SHOW BUT IN BLACK AND WHITE, THERE ARE TV COMMERCIALS COLOR OF 1954, I WRITE TO YOU FROM ARGENTINA, I USE THE TRANSLATOR, AND I WOULD SAY THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE COLOR TEAMS WERE NOT SPREADED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AT THE BEGINNING, AND MARILYN WAS NOT LUCKY, SHE FILMED FILMS IN COLOR. BOTH OF THEM WE HAD THAT THOUGHT ABOUT MARILYN.

[@SOLE2SOUL]

One year later but I'll venture an explanation. Most non-movie footage of Marilyn was filmed for the purpose of being seen in newsreels in movie theaters or on television in interview programs. Marilyn died in 1962 and there were very few regular color programs on the air at that time.

[@lapetitepapillon9101]

Where did you get this? I’ve been looking for years. Thank you so much!

[@PaulWalsh6162]

I've got quite a few rare VHS tapes which I'm converting to KZbin.

[@lapetitepapillon9101]

@@PaulWalsh6162 Thank you!

[@DavidGarcia-ql7qg]

You can tell when Judy Garland is performing get happy that she’s just doing it for the show and that she looks over it all

[@mike48877]

I don't think she's bad in that number, but the additional material they added was unnecessary. They should have a have stuck to the original routine. Additionally, she is 15 years older than the MGM footage. She still was terrific, but it's a given that her voice had changed over time.

[@davidwatts3048]

havent read all the comments; has anyone noted this is 100% lipsynched (at least first number (get Happy) not sure if that was standard practice on his show or most network shows of the day. still enjoyable though

[@Mandeley100]

It was a pretty energetic routine that Judy and the boys did so a lip-synched vocal is understandable. She'd have been pretty breathless before the end otherwise!

[@williamdunphy352]

Introduced by Frank Barton.

[@osarecool]

Wow, do you have any more episodes from the Andy Williams Show?

[@PaulWalsh6162]

I only have this episode as it's Judy Garland related. I know there was. DVD release of some of these shows a few years back which could still be in circulation.

[@osarecool]

@@PaulWalsh6162 Yes, I have looked at some of those. Thanks!

[@WGARVA]

That version of Get Happy is inferior to her original. But now I'm just quibbling.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

In spite of rock n roll, he lasted along time.
