Hearing Judy Garland makes me realize how much Liza sounded like her. Wonderful to hear them all.

[@georgesolomon1091]

Fascinating. A collection of talent we’ll never see again. Judy was known not only for a voice that comes along once in a century, but. by those close to her, for her incredible wit. So sad to see her self destruct to her demons, if she were 10 years younger she could’ve ended up in a Betty Ford and finally enjoyed herself without dependence or struggle. I only hope she’s somewhere in the heavens still enjoying her loving reviews.

What a fantastic audience of power house celebrities, circa 1955. I have never heard this audio clip before. All there for Judy's performance. She was so highly regarded by her fans and her peers.

[@LEIMALOCCA]

"say Dean where's Jerry?" "Who dat?" lmao i love the Rat Pack!

[@LEIMALOCCA]

"alright what the hell do we do now?!?!?" "alright now, this is a stick up!!!" i love Dean!!!!!!

[@Brace67]

Absolutely great audio clip. Too bad no one thought to film all those celebrities on that stage. Guess no one brought a movie camera to Judy's concert. It would have been great.

[@oohyllab]

Agree, it'd been great fun to see them all in this, dang!!!

[@ShangayLily]

What an impressive remindering of what greatness Judy was vocally and humanly. I worship her and so did all the luminaires of the time

[@crivket1233]

Love the pic of Bogart & Monroe!!! He's such a Mans , Man 😅🤣😂

[@allancuseo7431]

Amazing...of course I am crying

[@michaelrutledge7048]

What an assemblage of talent from the golden days!! Thanks for posting!!

[@MTknitter22]

These old talents did not need scantily clad dancers squirming around behind them, manipulated audio, or smoke machines. They were classy & respectful to their audiences in their dress and demeanor. Boy could they sing and LIVE! No lip synching.

[@crivket1233]

Oohhhh to be there , that nite 💔 to be too young!!

[@mikek4274]

Real talent there, but the greatest singing voice in world history: Judy Garland.

[@brandonhighgirl]

All the greats are here!

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

It’s wonderful they were so supportive of Judy!

[@robb7398]

Great to hear audio from this event we've read about for years. Hearing these stars live and unscripted from way back in 1955 is amazing.

[@jonathankieranwriter]

Imagine a bunch of superstars taking a private booze-bus to happily see the biggest star of them all (Judy) in concert, and surprising an audience with a memory like THIS. Those were the DAYS, and how. Judy was superb that night. (Heh … Sid Luft gets short-shrift. Oh, Judy.)

[@mkl62]

July 9, 1955; the day that the music scene changed forever. It was on that day that Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 on the Billboard charts, signifying the start of the Rock Era.

[@johnsteady9487]

Dialogue with snapshots. Requires fanhood of Bogart, Sinatra, Bacall, or Garland, to listen without video.

[@PapagenoMF]

I listen to Sinatra all of the time without video.

[@HonoredGeneral]

Nice archival piece of times gone by......Thank You for posting this!

[@tonysargent9365]

Honored General black Jhjggggghhhhhhooiiippiiiiiipi

[@Brace67]

It would have been wonderful to have had a video or a film clip of this talented assemblage but unfortunately just the audio will have to do and we should be grateful for having it. In only a few short months from this event, in early 1956, Humphrey Bogart would be diagnosed with esophageal cancer from which he would never recover. Following surgery he spent the remainder of the year slowly dying, finally succumbing to the disease in January, 1957.

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

May he rest in peace.

[@lynnatamian2489]

Love all of them just the best.

[@crivket1233]

Bogart knew LB , would NEVER let him escape!!!

[@colcaggar123]

This is the TRUE rat pack ...

[@johnf.kennedy5029]

Love hearing Bogie's laugh and little comments!

[@SaxonC]

Frank in no way avoided Judy. In fact he was the one responsible for paying for Judy's Funeral despite the fact LIZA RAISED the money.. He was appalled by the fact that she wasn't properly buried and was in an interim crypt.

[@edwardjames50]

Fabulous!

[@puffpuffy]

Wow this is really great!! I love it

[@OuterBoroughs7]

Thanks! Amazing to have all these legends on stage together. Is this perhaps the first performance of the Frank, Sammy and Dean Rat Pack? I knew Frank had introduced Sammy into Bogie's Rat Pack back in the '40s, but I hadn't realized Dean was hanging around with them at this stage.

[@jackrenglish]

GREAT

[@garymorell6924]

Too bad Bogie only lived another year and a half after this.

[@richardblayneamerican8149]

What giants of the entertainment world! If only they had taken better care of themselves: Judy, Bogart, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable. They might have lived 'til the 1980's!

[@TheSaltydog07]

My son was born on Frank's birthday. 😁

[@crivket1233]

I think FEAR of Frank , was equal to the love.

[@SaxonC]

Judy Garland looks so much thinner in the still photographs at the party held for her after the Premiere of A Star Is Born in 1954. It's true that the TV Cameras add 10 -15 lbs on a person. She was about 3 months pregnant with her last child, Jospeh. These are great pictures and I always loved the Picture of Judy Garland laughing & having such a blast with, Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin at 1:44 - 1:54 during her 1962 CBS TV special rehearsal.

[@BuzzStephens1]

Actually, I think it was Lauren Bacall.

[@LazlosPlane]

Bogey sounds a tad stoned.

[@gingergeezer3685]

Drunk. He liked a drink or three.

[@williamj.crofts41]

Star power......!!!!! Wow❤❤❤❤❤ All the stars around JUDY 😅😅😅😅

[@TheStockwell]

@JadeTomZ George Jacob's "My Life with Mr.S" is what you're going by as well- written, carefully researched, and objective source material? Wow, but . . . . okay. Sure. Pete Hamill's "Why Sinatra Matters" is a great overview of Sinatra's entire life but a definitive biography that pulls all the strings together is probably decades away. You're comments have made my day. Thank you. And so it goes.

[@denplanet1]

@mmdillon1 AND IT WAS JAMES MASON her co-star in the film she got robbed of her Oscar A STAR IS BORN that eulogized her.........

[@terrygrant3467]

AND LATER CRITICIZED HER. I HATE TWO FACED JERKS.

[@jackrenglish]

YEP

[@hellboywithhorns1219]

marilyn munroe had nothing on lauren bacall back then........drop dead gorgeous

[@woodyjagla328]

,,,, and part 2 ?

[@x3Sora]

Big bad Bogie.

[@JamesVRoy]

Great recordings! Small point, but the show was actually July 11, 1955

[@abbelnichola3792]

born April 2nd 1955

[@TheStockwell]

@denplanet1 I'm missing something here. "It was James Mason" who did WHAT?

[@alternateunreleasedshellac505]

Do you have the full broadcast?

[@GeorgeAD4]

great audio.appreaciate you sharing this great beginning. I. wish someone could put this together again where photos are reconstructing the event. I would like to think someone took photos of the event, but if they didnt, at least try to make it look as if your there. too many pics that aretn connected.

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

It’s great even without pics!

[@denplanet1]

@JadeTomZ AS SHOULD BE WELL KNOWN IT WAS SWIFTY LAZAR WHO "SPILLED THE BEANS" but BACALL blamed Sinatra who JUST DIDN'Y WANT the "beans" spilled to the hated (by Sinatra) PRESS!

[@TheStockwell]

@denplanet1 All I can say is, that would've been some good singin'. Loud, too!

[@davidbatin1699]

They're all gone now.

[@LEIMALOCCA]

THATS DEAN YELLING OUT SONGS AND STUFF, RIGHT?????

[@Carl.Henriksson]

I hate to be twelve years late again, but I do believe that some of those cries are from Van Johnson.

[@Ian20100]

Not really, but glad you enjoy.

[@bernadetteryan2052]

Couldn't stadium him one super big head Poor Ava Gardner

[@veliianai5144]

The clip inconsistent

[@mmdillon1]

@NFitalianGuy Mr. Sinatra most certainly did NOT pay for Judy's funeral. I know for fact that Liza Minnelli paid the bill. Mr. Sinatra made a lot of hoopla about buying a great crypt in Ferncliff for her -- he was to raise the money -- but he lost interest in the cause, and nearly a YEAR after her death (her remains were held in Ferncliff's storage fault (morgue-like setup), Liza quietly had Judy's body interred in a modest crypt without any fanfare.

[@SaxonC]

matt i was going on what i read in several stories by different writers throughout the years.

[@silrosm]

@defundthewar Poor Judy was a victim of her mother and the star-system! They gave her drugs to sleep and then other ones to wake up and maintain her working!!!

[@denplanet1]

@TheStockwell WHAT ABOUT THE THREESOME W/ MARIO LANZA?

[@Ian20100]

This video just wasted 10 minutes of my life. And I love this old stuff, but sheesh, they just introduce people, and then say they're gonna sing, and then don't sing?

[@bangersmash1566]

no video. sucks.

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

Welcome tp yesteryear.
