I remember a long time ago, Liza said that was the one song(Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)she just couldn’t listen to because it was her mom’s and she missed her so much!
This was from Judy's 1950 performance in "Summer Stock." It was the last film she would make for MGM, She stared opposite Gene Kelly, and was a bit heavier than usual at the beginning of filming due to the studio having suspended her and throwing her into a depression. Struggling with the dance numbers, she was under pressure to lose weight quickly, and unfortunately started using pills to accomplish the task. Mid way through shooting, her brief sobriety would be over. What MGM Studios put this woman through is criminal. Her talent was, and still is, unmatched.
How stars (especially women) were and still are chewed up and spit out for our "entertainment" is horrific. No matter the genre (check out Maria Callas' similar struggles in the opera world) so much talent has been ended well before it should have been. It almost hurts to watch clips like this because it belies what was going on behind the scenes.
@@BruinPhD2009 I haven’t read Maria C’s full story but I did read that she purposefully swallowed a tape worm - only known about by her and her personal assistant - to help her lose and control her weight. I don’t know how long she kept it but it was extremely long by the time she sought medical help to expel it. Imagine!!
best movie musical, I'll grant you. For the stage, my heart belongs to Guys and Dolls. Lackluster movie adaptation, but amazing on stage in every production I've seen. But yes, in movie musicals, Singin' in the Rain cannot be beat
@@mannyjacobowitz5571 And in turn, I'll grant you that Guys and Dolls is better on stage than on screen, but then I'll also say: what production isn't?! For me, the best example is Gypsy: as the quintessential 'stage' musical, none of the movies adaptations have ever done it justice; for me, it's the ultimate theatrical musical experience.
Titanic talent. Watching her sing "Over the Rainbow" like a grown woman, at FIFTEEN is unbelievable. And from A Star is Born, "The Man that got Away", is a must.
I would guess they know that, but they mentioned Liza as a Broadway singer they've seen, then said they want to checkout more Judy Garland without mentioning that Judy is Liza's mom. So maybe it's possible they don't know they're mother and daughter.
Oh. My. Word. Im middle aged and didnt know that until now. My mind is blown. I even saw pretty much all Liza's and Judy's movies. And Im a movie geek. How have I gone my whole life and not known that??!! I need a sit down...
Guys, this is not Broadway. In fact, Judy Garland never appeared in a Broadway musical. As others have said, Judy's performance here of "Get Happy" is from the film "Summer Stock." And yes, you do need to watch Judy's duet with Barbra Streisand from Garland's TV show in the early '60s. It's legendary.
Well, she may not have been in a Broadway musical but she was in vaudeville with her family before she went into film so she still performed on stage and even more so after when she was doing live shows, including at Carnegie Hall, after getting blacklisted by studios. I definitely agree on the duet she did with Barbra, as well as the medley they did later in the episode. Two incredible powerhouses that's for sure.
Though Judy was never in a Broadway musical as such, her concert performances at the Palace Theatre in 1951 through early 1952 earned her a special Tony Award for her contribution to "reviving vaudeville." And although technically "Get Happy" isn't Broadway, since it was written for the original film musical SUMMER STOCK, it's a Broadway-style number, performed as if on a stage with an obviously fake painted backdrop, and within the story of the movie it is actually part of a show that is being rehearsed with the ultimate goal of opening on Broadway.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 I just love when Gene Kelly talked about it. He was, at that time, on a high because he had done "Singin' In The Rain". He said that Judy asked him if he would star with her in Summer Stock because it was her last film with MGM. He agreed because he appreciated that for his first film, "For Me And My Gal" (my favorite from their 3 films), they wanted to pair him up with someone who established and popular, which was Judy. He said he was so nervous working with her but she was so helpful and encouraging with him. He didn't even think twice about it. Just rearranged some things and did it. Something I always noticed whenever Gene Kelly and Judy Garland danced with each other, most of Gene Kelly's partners would look at the floor and feet when they danced but Gene Kelly (for the most part) looked straight ahead at the camera. Even Fred Astaire would often look down. Judy though, more often than not, she was looking straight ahead too. I don't why it was something I just noticed about as a kid, I just did. Still notice it too and it just makes me smile seeing how in sync they were with each other and the affection they really had for each other.
@@JustTanya. Gene Kelly was also supposed to co-star with Judy in EASTER PARADE (1948), but had to bow out due to an injury. It was Kelly's suggestion that he be replaced by Fred Astaire.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 Oh, I remember that. I didn't know it was about an injury though. To be honest, I think the role was more suited for Fred Astaire anyway. Two of the best dancers in American cinematic history.
Guys, you MUST watch the clip of Judy singing The Man That Got Away in the movie A Star Is Born. This will leave you gobsmacked. The epitome of Judy’s talent.
100%. Judy was *without question* robbed of an Academy Award for her entire performance in that movie. That year's "winner" (Grace Kelly) didn't even come close. Proof positive that the Oscars are nothing more than a popularity contest.
Amber mentioned how Judy could command a stage, and Liza tells an anecdote about when she and her mama, Judy, were doing a series of shows together at The Palladium in London. Liza was just a teenager, coming into her own, and had a medley of songs that she sang during the show. Brought the house down, and she said she could see her mother offstage, cheering her on, but at a certain point, she looked over and her mother was primping and fixing her makeup, and then, in Liza’s words “Next thing I know, my mama is gone and it’s JUDY GARLAND walking out on the stage, and just the force of her blew me away!”
Judy Garland she as considered the top female singer of her age. This is one of my fave numbers of hers,such a pity she had so tragic a life. Judy is phenomenal. so much emotion in her singing. May She RIP
Judy was born to be on stage, literally - born into a performing family. For most of her adult life she appeared in movie musicals (it was the golden era for musicals on screen) but her concerts were legendary - her 1961 Carnegie Hall performance is still considered one of the greatest live shows of all time
Another Broadway great would be Ethel Merman singing "There's No Business Like Show Business'. Judy Garland had such a tough life. What they did to her during the filming of Wizard of Oz was criminal. I love how much fun you guys had watching this.
There is a RUclips video from The Judy Garland Show where Judy, Ethyl Merman and, Barbara Streisand sing There Is No Business Like Show Business on Judy’s t.v. show from the sixties.
There is a duet mashup of Get Happy and Happy Days are Here Again by Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. Glee did a cover and knocked it out of the park.
Judy also did melancholy the best, her "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" from the film "Meet Me in St Louis" is so soulful and nostalgic, it'll bring a tear to your eye.
Barbra Streisand singing Don't Rain on my Parade is a must. There are so many great Broadway divas to hear. I've said before Audra McDonald being on of the greatest. She's won 6 Tony awards, and will probably in a seventh next year.
@@etherealtb6021 Friend Whitney was a once in a generation , Judy was a once in a lifetime. The way Judy could capture and hold a audience , her Judyisms, The way she would make her fans even now to watch a Judy performance you are drawn in as if she is a friend, that has invited you over and she makes the soul comfortable. I am a fan of Whitney, but she never made me feel like I was at home when I watched her. While also they are both sad sad stories , Judy's story makes you feel like she was just like you and I. All Judy wanted from the beginning was to be loved. She wanted to be loved by MGM, She wanted to be loved by her audience, She wanted to be loved by the men who took advantage of her, She wanted to be loved by her kids, and that need for love, and perfection is what killed her. She wanted to be exactly what everyone needed, so she took the uppers, she took the downers, she drained everything she had, until finally she had no more. So many only see Judy as Dorothy, but Judy was so much more then the girl with the ruby shoes. Her movie Harvey Girls , and Meet Me in St.Louis are amazing works of art. So no Judy is in my thoughts on a higher pedestal then Miss Whitney, but Whitney was great.
Barbra Streisand at age 19 was in a show called ' I can get it for you wholesale'. She played an unloved secretary named Miss Marmelstein and sang a song of that name. You should give it a listen. It is so worth it!
Certainly one of my favorites. Judy apparently loved it so much that she often performed it in concert even when she didn't have a partner to do it with.
Judy Garland was far More than The Wizard of Oz. She was a multiple threat in the entertainment business. She could sing, she could dance, and she could act. My parents have both told me that not many people too young to remember actually know how big Judy Garland was. She was a mega-star. She was HUGE.
Delighted to see you react to this iconic performance by Judy. She has a huge catalog of amazing performances. Check out some of her later performances from her 1960s television show-As Long As He Needs Me is a standout. Also, she did an amazing duet with Barbra Streisand. All amazing!!
If you want Judy Garland singing and putting on a show, definitely check out the movie musical MEET ME IN ST LOUIS. One of the best musicals! A broadway gem!
"The Man That Got Away" from "A Star Is Born" is another song that Judy Garland flat out OWNS! So many stage musicals moved to film, where they had benefits like being able to retake scenes, larger stages, enormous casts, great sound systems, and creative camera angles. But there's nothing like being in a theater watching a live performance. I'd like to see a musical on your movie channel, and "Kiss Me Kate" is a great one. Ann Miller's "Too Darn Hot" and "Always True To You - In My Fashion", Kathryn Grayson's "I Hate Men" and Howard Keel's "Where Is The Life That Once I Led?" are some of the fun numbers.
Filming of musical numbers can go into dozens of takes; Judy nailed this in just TWO. Despite what others say, she wasn't well during shooting: while she'd lost weight, she'd done so by taking pills to slim down again following a brief period of sobriety in 1949. By the standard of 1949-50 when this was filmed, she looked physically 'well' (i.e. slim) during these scenes, but she was still very unwell mentally. Which makes her performance all the more remarkable. It will have taken great effort, yet appears to be a phenomenally effortless display. She was an icon of professionalism, but this regimented dedication (drummed into her since childhood) was also her lifelong nemesis. RIP.
You can see how musicals were made by watching the Judy version of "A Star is Born" when in one scene she plays a movie star filming a musical number on a sound stage.
She was to me a precursor to Elvis; abused, cruelly By some real rats who took advantage and put her on that Train to addiction! I’m sure there’s a lot of others too, but these two really stand out to me.
This was such a FANTASTIC performance by Judy in the movie Summer Stock. I only wish I had been old enough and lucky enough to have seen her perform on Broadway!
Her movie A Star is Born (the first remake of the original 30’s movie) was spectacular. It was a tour de force for her. I never saw a star do it all in one film, and do it spectacularly. Her rendition of a nobody making the big time mentored by a fading star is the BEST one of all the A Star is Born films. She can blow you away with her singing and move you to tears with her drama. It’s just unforgettable. She was nominated for an Oscar and should have won. She lost to Grace Kelly for basically appearing in The Country Girl without makeup in the first half. I like Grace Kelly but she can’t hold a candle to Judy Garland.
Fun fact: Although Canada does not have a First Lady, it was rumoured that Barbra Streisand would become Canada's equivalent of a First Lady as she was in a two-year romance in 1969-1970 with then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Although the romance ended, they remained good friends up to his passing in 2000.
Barbra Streisand also appeared in a previous Broadway musical, I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE (1962). In the same year she was featured on the 25th Anniversary recording of a historically important revue, PINS AND NEEDLES. She starred in the film version of her Broadway hit FUNNY GIRL (1968), and followed up by starring in film versions of two more Broadway musicals, HELLO, DOLLY (1969) and ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER (1970). Five years later she starred in a film sequel to FUNNY GIRL called FUNNY LADY (1975), featuring both period songs and original Broadway-style songs. Her original film musical YENTL (1983) features songs which function (Broadway-style) as her character's internal monologues, but no other character in the movie sings, not even her co-star, Tony Award winning Broadway singer Mandy Patinkin. Most of Barbra's early albums feature numerous Broadway show tunes, though for a time in the late 70s and early 80s, she began to concentrate on pop songs instead. In 1985, however, she returned to her roots with THE BROADWAY ALBUM, and later recorded a sequel, BACK TO BROADWAY (1993).
Judy Garland, working that hat! She was GREAT in "A Star is Born". Also, I'm telling you guys, you gotta react to "Singing in the Rain" if you want to see great dancing . . . Oh! And West Side Story (the 1961 version).
Judy Garland singing the man that got away is the greatest moment in song/ film history! No white woman ever sang the blues like that before. From the movie a star is born. She is singing all her pain.
That might just be my favorite performance of Judy's. She balances portraying joy at singing with the band with putting across the heartache of the song. Plus her voice was in peak shape with a more mature style than some of her famous younger performances.
Judy Garland, Barbara Streisand, and Lady Gaga all starred in the musical A Star Is Born(1954,1976 and 2018) but my favorite version is 1937’s dramatic version starring Janet Gaynor and Fredrick March
Judy had a tv show on CBS 1963-64. Memorable performances are: Old Man River, Come Rain or Come Shine, As Long as He Needs me, When the Sun Comes Out. Of course there are numerous clips from her movies of the forties.
Of COURSE you fell for Judy! She's an icon and a legend. If you want to hear her BELT a great song, check out her "The Man That Got Away" from the 1950's version of A Star Is Born! Man, oh man!
You two should hear her duet with Barbra Streisand of Happy Days/Get Happy on the Judy Garland Show back in the day. So good! Thanks for sharing this one. Judy was a treasure! 🙂Oh, and her daughter Liza Minelli was every bit the performer her mother was. Check out any of Liza's clips from the musical Cabaret. So good!
I loved that lead guy dancing we called him rubber legs.BTW Judy doing Over The Rainbow live at Carnegie Hall in '59 might be the most emotional song of all time.
Check out Ann Miller ‘Shaking the Blues Away’ - from Easter Parade (1948), ‘Prehistoric Man’ - from On the Town, ‘Too Darn Hot’ - from Kiss Me Kate (1953) and ‘Hallelujah Reprise’ - from Hit the Deck (1955).
Two of my favorite performances are her doing The Man Who Got Away from A Star Is Born and her doing Old Man River from her TV show. You can't go wrong with Judy!
You need to watch "Hello Dolly" a musical from the 60s, starring Barbara Streisand and Walter Matthau. You'll even get to see Barbara Sing with Louis Armstrong.
Yes, Barbra looked and sounded incredible in that film, but she was WAY too young for the role. Like, decades too young. Dolly Levi was supposed to be in her late 40s or early 50s and Barbra Streisand was in her mid 20s when she made that movie.
This song is from my favorite musical with her and Gene Kelly (Summer Stock 1950). Breaks my heart the world lost her at such a young age. Thanks for this.
This is half true: it absolutely IS one of her VERY BEST performances, but she was far from sober. She'd had some brief success with sobriety in early 1949, but by the time Summer Stock (the movie this is from) was being filmed, she'd begun to take pills again to lose the weight she'd gained while sober. This particular video was only filmed after the rest of principal photography had ended, because the studio realised they still had no big Judy number. By the time it was filmed, she'd lost considerable weight through pills. So she really wasn't well when this was filmed. STILL: it didn't stop her from performing the entire number perfectly in two takes (musical numbers normally go into the hundreds).
Broadway Musical Suggestions - I have chosen 4 that co-star Frank Sinatra. Because you need to see Mr Sinatra on the big screen. These three star Mr Sinatra & Gene Kelly 1. Take Me Out to the Ballgame - yes sports related 2. Anchors Aweigh & 3. On the Town - both about WWII servicemen on leave and 4. Guys and Dolls which co-stars Mr Sinatra & Marlon Brando (the original Godfather). A treasure of a film. I would suggest this one first. Gene Kelly was a gifted dancer, actor, director and singer. One of his most famous films is "Singing in the Rain" which has the scene of him tap dancing in the rain with an umbrella on a near empty street. Loved the Miss Garland reaction. Thanks. 💜
Judy is the MVP for sure! 🙌 You definitely need to check out her films “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “In The Good Old Summertime”! She has so many great musicals and her voice is just flawless. She’s an icon for a reason! ❤❤❤
I recommend watching “Meet Me in St. Louis”…it stars Judy Garland…and Margaret O’Brian…it was set in 1903 the year before the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St Louis.
Judy Live At Carnegie was called the Greatest Night in show business, I have listened to the live album recording of thay concert 100's of times. It is the best live album ever.
When ya'll were referring to "musicals" for Jennifer Holiday, THIS SONG went through my head!! I was thinking ya'll should watch some Judy Gardland musicals. This makes me so happy.
Judy never did a straight Broadway show, however, she did appear on Broadway in her own shows at the Palace Theatre for extended stays in 1951, 1956 and 1967, where she broke all box office records. And as an FYI, in her Palace show from October 1951 through February 1952, she included the Get Happy number done just as you see in the movie released in 1950, so in fact, she did perform Get Happy on Broadway.

One word. Entertainer. The incomparable Judy Garland ❤️❤️
OMG THE MAN THE GOT AWAY JUDY FROM A STAR IS BORN
Oh, absolutely! One of the best-written songs ever and she knocked it out of the park
So much power and emotion❤❤❤
My favorite Judy Garland song and my favorite version of the movie.
I agree on this song. Also "By Myself" from her TV show will blow you away.
@@bonniesmith4311 And from "I could go on singing"...mind blowing
This is actually my favorite Judy Garland, asking with Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
Thanks for the reaction!!
Her talent was off the charts! When healthy, she was the brightest star in the sky. I wish she could have had a kinder life.
Judy was and will always be phenomenal ❤❤❤❤
My favorite singer of all time. At Christmas listen to her sing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
Or watch all of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, the movie the song comes from!
Yes, Meet Me In St Louis should definitely get added to their list of movies to watch.
I remember a long time ago, Liza said that was the one song(Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)she just couldn’t listen to because it was her mom’s and she missed her so much!
Beautiful song that she sang her heart out in.
A TRUE TREASURE!!!
hey there - please do the Judy Garland/Barbra Streisand duet - Come On Get Happy/Happy Days are Here Again. it is AMAZING!!!
YES!
Yes,.p!ease.
I second this suggestion!
Lol...I just recommended that and had before few months back!
Agreed! That was from Barbara's appearance on The Judy Garland Show! Old school paired with new school for an incredible performance❤
R.I.P To A Beautiful Gorgeous Woman ❤❤❤❤ Judy Garland, Still Miss You Always
Poor Judy, such a good soul, so incredibly talented, and so much sadness and heartbreak.
Judy Garland‼️
One of my FAVORITES.

Such an enormous talent! She had it all. Dancing, singing, acting...
Her death was a terrible blow. I was a girl when she passed.😓
Blessings❤
Nice. As others have echoed Judy Garland Live 1964, “The Man that Got Away “ is a must.
Judy Garland was a monster talent.
Judy was born to be on stage, literally - born into a performing family. For most of her adult life she appeared in movie musicals (it was the golden era for musicals on screen) but her concerts were legendary - her 1961 Carnegie Hall performance is still considered one of the greatest live shows of all time
I have the album from Carnegie Hall, recorded live on April 23rd, 1961. I absolutely treasure it with my other Judy Garland albums.
Barbra was and is an actress. Oscar, Tony, winner...not to mention Grammy and Emmy.

She wanted to be exactly what everyone needed, so she took the uppers, she took the downers, she drained everything she had, until finally she had no more. So many only see Judy as Dorothy, but Judy was so much more then the girl with the ruby shoes. Her movie Harvey Girls , and Meet Me in St.Louis are amazing works of art. So no Judy is in my thoughts on a higher pedestal then Miss Whitney, but Whitney was great.
chills and goosebumps every time i see it.
Barbra Streisand at age 19 was in a show called ' I can get it for you wholesale'. She played an unloved secretary named Miss Marmelstein and sang a song of that name. You should give it a listen. It is so worth it!
Judy Garland was a recording, and movie star. She Had her own tv series. She was a GOAT.
How tragic that the world lost Ms. Judy at such a young age! She was quite the talent!!
I'm so HAPPY that you guys have discovered Judy!
"A couple of Swells" by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire was probably her best move song performance.
Certainly one of my favorites. Judy apparently loved it so much that she often performed it in concert even when she didn't have a partner to do it with.
Love Judy Garland
Beauty, talent, and class, not to mention lyrics that you'd never hear today...this is how it was done!
Judy Garland was far More than The Wizard of Oz. She was a multiple threat in the entertainment business. She could sing, she could dance, and she could act. My parents have both told me that not many people too young to remember actually know how big Judy Garland was. She was a mega-star. She was HUGE.
Loved your reactions to Miss Garland. She was really the greatest talent that ever came out of that golden Era of show business
Delighted to see you react to this iconic performance by Judy. She has a huge catalog of amazing performances. Check out some of her later performances from her 1960s television show-As Long As He Needs Me is a standout. Also, she did an amazing duet with Barbra Streisand. All amazing!!
There's a video of The Judy Garland Show with an young Barbra Streisand that is awesome!! Happy Days Are Here Again/ Get Happy
One hell of a lineage….. Judy Garland, Liza Minelli…..both ladies could hold a tune …. Love all these old time musical movies.
If you want Judy Garland singing and putting on a show, definitely check out the movie musical MEET ME IN ST LOUIS. One of the best musicals! A broadway gem!
Agreed great move and songs
"The Man That Got Away" from "A Star Is Born" is another song that Judy Garland flat out OWNS!
So many stage musicals moved to film, where they had benefits like being able to retake scenes, larger stages, enormous casts, great sound systems, and creative camera angles. But there's nothing like being in a theater watching a live performance. I'd like to see a musical on your movie channel, and "Kiss Me Kate" is a great one. Ann Miller's "Too Darn Hot" and "Always True To You - In My Fashion", Kathryn Grayson's "I Hate Men" and Howard Keel's "Where Is The Life That Once I Led?" are some of the fun numbers.
Filming of musical numbers can go into dozens of takes; Judy nailed this in just TWO. Despite what others say, she wasn't well during shooting: while she'd lost weight, she'd done so by taking pills to slim down again following a brief period of sobriety in 1949. By the standard of 1949-50 when this was filmed, she looked physically 'well' (i.e. slim) during these scenes, but she was still very unwell mentally. Which makes her performance all the more remarkable. It will have taken great effort, yet appears to be a phenomenally effortless display. She was an icon of professionalism, but this regimented dedication (drummed into her since childhood) was also her lifelong nemesis. RIP.
You can see how musicals were made by watching the Judy version of "A Star is Born" when in one scene she plays a movie star filming a musical number on a sound stage.
She was to me a precursor to Elvis; abused, cruelly By some real rats who took advantage and put her on that Train to addiction! I’m sure there’s a lot of others too, but these two really stand out to me.
This was such a FANTASTIC performance by Judy in the movie Summer Stock. I only wish I had been old enough and lucky enough to have seen her perform on Broadway!
Judy Garland - "The Man That Got Away" from "A Star Is Born." Essential :)
Judy Garland was (is) an American Icon
She had great talent and those LEGS! 😵💫
Her movie A Star is Born (the first remake of the original 30’s movie) was spectacular. It was a tour de force for her. I never saw a star do it all in one film, and do it spectacularly. Her rendition of a nobody making the big time mentored by a fading star is the BEST one of all the A Star is Born films. She can blow you away with her singing and move you to tears with her drama. It’s just unforgettable.
She was nominated for an Oscar and should have won. She lost to Grace Kelly for basically appearing in The Country Girl without makeup in the first half. I like Grace Kelly but she can’t hold a candle to Judy Garland.
I agree that the version of “A Star is Born” with her and James Mason is the best version.
She has a wealth of songs you need to hear old man river she holds the note endlessly
yes Barbra Streisand did Funny Girl on Broadway in 1964, love this video.
Fun fact: Although Canada does not have a First Lady, it was rumoured that Barbra Streisand would become Canada's equivalent of a First Lady as she was in a two-year romance in 1969-1970 with then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Although the romance ended, they remained good friends up to his passing in 2000.
Barbra Streisand also appeared in a previous Broadway musical, I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE (1962). In the same year she was featured on the 25th Anniversary recording of a historically important revue, PINS AND NEEDLES. She starred in the film version of her Broadway hit FUNNY GIRL (1968), and followed up by starring in film versions of two more Broadway musicals, HELLO, DOLLY (1969) and ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER (1970). Five years later she starred in a film sequel to FUNNY GIRL called FUNNY LADY (1975), featuring both period songs and original Broadway-style songs. Her original film musical YENTL (1983) features songs which function (Broadway-style) as her character's internal monologues, but no other character in the movie sings, not even her co-star, Tony Award winning Broadway singer Mandy Patinkin. Most of Barbra's early albums feature numerous Broadway show tunes, though for a time in the late 70s and early 80s, she began to concentrate on pop songs instead. In 1985, however, she returned to her roots with THE BROADWAY ALBUM, and later recorded a sequel, BACK TO BROADWAY (1993).
Judy Garland was my Moms favorite female singer. We inherited every one of her record albums.
Judy Garland, working that hat! She was GREAT in "A Star is Born". Also, I'm telling you guys, you gotta react to "Singing in the Rain" if you want to see great dancing . . . Oh! And West Side Story (the 1961 version).
Judy Garland singing the man that got away is the greatest moment in song/ film history!
No white woman ever sang the blues like that before. From the movie a star is born.
She is singing all her pain.
That might just be my favorite performance of Judy's. She balances portraying joy at singing with the band with putting across the heartache of the song. Plus her voice was in peak shape with a more mature style than some of her famous younger performances.
You should watch Judy in "A Star is Born".
Judy Garland, Barbara Streisand, and Lady Gaga all starred in the musical A Star Is Born(1954,1976 and 2018) but my favorite version is 1937’s dramatic version starring Janet Gaynor and Fredrick March
Wow! The variety of music you guys cover is amazing. Great job!
there are voices - then there are VOICES
Judy had a tv show on CBS 1963-64. Memorable performances are: Old Man River, Come Rain or Come Shine, As Long as He Needs me, When the Sun Comes Out. Of course there are numerous clips from her movies of the forties.
Barbara and Judy perform a mashup of Happy Days and Get Happy on The Judy Garland Show worth a peek.
Of COURSE you fell for Judy! She's an icon and a legend. If you want to hear her BELT a great song, check out her "The Man That Got Away" from the 1950's version of A Star Is Born! Man, oh man!
If you love this, you will love Judy's performance in the film: A Star is born.- "The man that got away"
Broadway and musicals are some of the best music anywhere.
You two should hear her duet with Barbra Streisand of Happy Days/Get Happy on the Judy Garland Show back in the day. So good! Thanks for sharing this one. Judy was a treasure! 🙂Oh, and her daughter Liza Minelli was every bit the performer her mother was. Check out any of Liza's clips from the musical Cabaret. So good!
The Man that Got Away from A Star is Born. Trust me!
Yes also see her singing with Ella Fitzgerald
I loved that lead guy dancing we called him rubber legs.BTW Judy doing Over The Rainbow live at Carnegie Hall in '59 might be the most emotional song of all time.
Check out Ann Miller ‘Shaking the Blues Away’ - from Easter Parade (1948), ‘Prehistoric Man’ - from On the Town, ‘Too Darn Hot’ - from Kiss Me Kate (1953) and ‘Hallelujah Reprise’ - from Hit the Deck (1955).
I’ve always loved her voice!
Two of my favorite performances are her doing The Man Who Got Away from A Star Is Born and her doing Old Man River from her TV show. You can't go wrong with Judy!
You need to watch "Hello Dolly" a musical from the 60s, starring Barbara Streisand and Walter Matthau. You'll even get to see Barbara Sing with Louis Armstrong.
Yes, Barbra looked and sounded incredible in that film, but she was WAY too young for the role. Like, decades too young. Dolly Levi was supposed to be in her late 40s or early 50s and Barbra Streisand was in her mid 20s when she made that movie.
Judy Garland: The Man That Got Away, Have Yourself
A Merry Christmas and The Battle
Hymn Of The Republic late the next songs to check out.
This song is from my favorite musical with her and Gene Kelly (Summer Stock 1950). Breaks my heart the world lost her at such a young age. Thanks for this.
Absolutely my favorite female singer.
Try to find Dear Mr. Gable. She's a young girl writing a fan letter to Clark Gable.
Her given name was Frances Gumm. From age 3 The Gumm Sisters toured around fairs and towns singing. She was called The Little Girl With The Big Voice.
This was considered one of her 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀; she'd gotten sober and was feeling 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱! ♥︎
This is half true: it absolutely IS one of her VERY BEST performances, but she was far from sober. She'd had some brief success with sobriety in early 1949, but by the time Summer Stock (the movie this is from) was being filmed, she'd begun to take pills again to lose the weight she'd gained while sober. This particular video was only filmed after the rest of principal photography had ended, because the studio realised they still had no big Judy number. By the time it was filmed, she'd lost considerable weight through pills. So she really wasn't well when this was filmed. STILL: it didn't stop her from performing the entire number perfectly in two takes (musical numbers normally go into the hundreds).
When Judy was “on”, she was “spot on.” No one could touch her. What a phenomenal talent.
Broadway Musical Suggestions -
I have chosen 4 that co-star Frank Sinatra. Because you need to see Mr Sinatra on the big screen.
These three star Mr Sinatra & Gene Kelly
1. Take Me Out to the Ballgame - yes sports related
2. Anchors Aweigh & 3. On the Town - both about WWII servicemen on leave
and
4. Guys and Dolls which co-stars Mr Sinatra & Marlon Brando (the original Godfather). A treasure of a film. I would suggest this one first.
Gene Kelly was a gifted dancer, actor, director and singer. One of his most famous films is "Singing in the Rain" which has the scene of him tap dancing in the rain with an umbrella on a near empty street.
Loved the Miss Garland reaction. Thanks. 💜
Judy is the MVP for sure! 🙌 You definitely need to check out her films “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “In The Good Old Summertime”! She has so many great musicals and her voice is just flawless. She’s an icon for a reason! ❤❤❤
Judy could do it all. She danced like Fred Astaire sang like Barbara Streisand. She was the total package. Plus she looked great.
Judy Garland is more of a belter than a crooner. Check her out in the musical "Meet Me in St. Louis".
I recommend watching “Meet Me in St. Louis”…it stars Judy Garland…and Margaret O’Brian…it was set in 1903 the year before the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St Louis.
Judy Live At Carnegie was called the Greatest Night in show business, I have listened to the live album recording of thay concert 100's of times.
It is the best live album ever.
This was from the movie musical Summer Stock
When ya'll were referring to "musicals" for Jennifer Holiday, THIS SONG went through my head!! I was thinking ya'll should watch some Judy Gardland musicals. This makes me so happy.
Judy never did a straight Broadway show, however, she did appear on Broadway in her own shows at the Palace Theatre for extended stays in 1951, 1956 and 1967, where she broke all box office records. And as an FYI, in her Palace show from October 1951 through February 1952, she included the Get Happy number done just as you see in the movie released in 1950, so in fact, she did perform Get Happy on Broadway.
Judy has the best voice of all time in my opinion.
I definitely recommend you check out Betty Buckley’s performance of Memory (from Cats) at the 1983 Tony Awards. She has a shockingly brilliant voice.
