Yes, a huge victim of the studio system...and her mother. Uppers to get thru the day, downers to help her sleep. All gifts from the studios. She was looked on as an asset to market and make money for. Nontheless, one of the greatest talents ever to grace stage and screen. My father's generation adored her, and it was my father who got me to appreciate Garland, Sinatra Nat King Cole, and more. Thanks, dad, for the musical education!!

So glad you are doing one of the all time legends from the past. Her career spanned 40 years. "The Man that Got Away" is a torch song & was used in the 1954 version of the film "A Star Is Born". I think everyone has seen the classic movie "The Wizard Of Oz" where she sung "Over The Rainbow". Hard to believe she was only 17 years of age (83 years ago). A lot of the singers today can't hold a candle to her talent.

Great choice, Harri! I've been a huge Judy Garland fan since I first read a biography of her in 1975 when I was 13. And my favorite film of all time is Judy's "Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944), which I also saw for the first time that same year. You nailed it when you said her voice had power, vulnerability and emotion.

Love how you point out the excellence of the band! I feel that Judy's greatness really challenged the orchestras which accompanied her, regardless of their own abilities or fame. There are recordings with drummers, trumpet players, pianists, etc, playing out of their heads, and Judy can still be heard above them. As you state, incredible power from her diaphragm, as well as perfected breathing techniques, and vocal chords which were conditioned to singing powerfully, lightly, and sustainably. Add to that other-wordly mix, Judy possessed a throb, almost a vocal, musical cry which brought emotion and depth to her performances. Judy is an experience, one that I never tire of.

In the early 1960s my older sister had a double (vinyl) album Judy at Carnegie Hall. I loved listening to it. I was able to find it on CD a few years ago. If you enjoy her music, you should give it a listen to. I love your reactions. Thank you for sharing.

What a fitting choice! This upcoming Friday June 10th marks what would have been Judy's 100th birthday! This is the initial performance of what became one of her signature songs (though Somewhere Over the Rainbow remained her key song) and was written especially for her by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin. A Star is Born has been remade twice since this (and this was a remake of the original 1937 film-a non-musical that starred Fredric March and Janet Gaynor) once in the 70's with Barbra Streisand (even though I'm an enormous Streisand fan it's an awful film) and recently with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga (better than the Babs version but not as good as Judy's). A word of warning about this one. After it was released the studio wanted to add more showings so cut out crucial parts of the film, it was restored in the 80's but some of that footage was lost though the entire soundtrack was found. To compensate stills from the lost scenes were inserted over the dialog portions (it doesn't last too long but it helps to be prepared when watching so they aren't as jarring.) To explore her work further I'd recommend both her performance of "Old Man River" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic" from her 60's television show. By the way Liza is pronounced Lie-za not Lee-za.

Great song! Tremendous voice! Another you should listen to is Eydie Gorme' (pronounced E-dee Gor-may). One of the best ever!! So was her husband, Steve Lawrence. Each had great solo careers, and together, the magic they created on stage made them the top nightclub act in the world for many years, and there is a large of amount of wonderful records by Steve (Portrait Of My Love, 1961), by Eydie (My Funny Valentine, 1959), & by Steve & Eydie (We've Got Us, 1960, & Through The Years, 1982). The songs I mentioned are my favorites, but there are many, many more to choose from. Do yourself a favor you'll always be glad you did -- listen to Steve Lawrence. Listen to Eydie Gorme. Listen to Steve & Eydie. You'll love what you discover! Just a sneak peek -- this is Steve & Eydie doing an incredible medley of Gershwin songs -- IMO, possibly the best 15 minutes of recorded music. And is case you're not familiar with the Gershwin name, George & Ira were brothers who comprised one of the most prolific & successful songwriting teams in the history of the world, despite the fact that George died at the way-too-young age of 38, in 1937. Yes, that's correct. George was thirty-eight years old when he died in 1937, & he's still considered the King of all songwriters. Listen to this medley & you'll know why. And you'll why Steve & Eydie remained popular until their retirement, shortly before Eydie died in 2013, at the age of 84, at which time they had been married 55 years!! This was recorded 1975. Truly fabulous!!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vRmmuvgaqfY6s

I have never thought of a comparison between Judy and Billie Holiday. Great connection. If I may suggest something, Liza Minnelli has a song called 'Liza With A Z' from her television special of the same name. You may want to check that out. The song was written be her great friends Kander and Ebb who wrote the score of Cabaret. But your openness as you're listening is very refreshing. First time viewer but I have now subscribed and looking forward to wandering through previous videos. Thank you. I had chills running down my arms as Judy sang. Great memory. Judy was nominated for the Academy Award for A Star Is Born but lost out to Grace Kelly for The Country Girl. Makes sense. Grace would marry Prince Ranier and become a real life princess, Princess Grace of Monaco. In that era wouldn't you have wanted to be invited in. I can hear the gushing: "oh, Grace, I voted for you" in hopes of wangling an invitation to the wedding. Judy received an Oscar for Best Child performance for The Wizard Of Oz. Director Vincent Minnelli won an Oscar for Gigi. Their daughter Liza won an Oscar for Cabaret. This lauded family is in the Guiness Book Of Records for this achievement. And now I'm going to peruse your videos...🎉🎉🎉🎉

Speed back in the day must have been pure and powerful. No wonder so many artists became addicted to it, especially when MDs were recommending/prescribing it for energy back in the 30s-60s. Those vintage mainstream magazine ads for pills that equaled pure jet fuel were profound. they usually showed a frazzled housewife before and a dazzling beauty afterward. Unfortunately, amphetamines had the opposite effect. Made one look hollow and dead for lack of rest.
