- Performed by Judy Garland on Episode 12 of 'The Judy Garland Show', taped November 1, 1963. A delicate rendition of a classic song, Judy captures the eloquent beauty of 'Moon River', a meandering melody that flows to the heart.
Words by Johnny Mercer, music by Henry Mancini, 1961.
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin'your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend, my huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
Roll along the river, you're a lot like me
Just a pair of drifters, with all of the world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend, my huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

wow - the last time she sings that last "rainbow's end"... it's like the whole yearning of collective humanity for a better world is being expressed in one voice
How she just pulls you in. A delicious mixture of presence, strength and utter vulnerability.
The GREATEST....don't judge someone unless you have walked in their shoes....she was a survivor and had great. great, great talent.....she just got tired and died way to young but her memory and talent lives on....Love you Judy
I sang this to my pet as she was being put to sleep to ease her pain.
Of all the versions of Moon River l've heard, and there have been many, Judy's is unique and superb.
No one can sell a song like Judy Garland! The legend!
No one has been able to sing a song with such power, emotion, and delicacy as the late, great Judy Garland. She was that unique and indomitability of spirit because she sang from her heart and so often, sadly, of personal experience. Her rendition of, "Smile", is probably the epitome of this description and expression....please listen to it. Without question, imo, she was the greatest entertainer in Hollywood history.
This is raw and painful. She seems to be dissolving in front of my eyes. The set design is an acid trip through Americana via Salvador Dali.
Judy was so perfect, my favorite version still is Audrey's because I feel it touches my heart a little deeper, but it actually speaks more about Audrey being able to convey emotion and beauty enough to rival with Judy, that is of course the most gifted singer Hollywood ever saw or will ever see, than any particular problem with her version, I could hear Judy singing for hours and hours and still want more. She could sing the dictionary and make it a masterpiece.
I had always considered Judy Garland as an "entertainer"rather than a singer until I heard her "Alone" album.
Tell me I'm not the only one who started bawling like an infant the second she opened her mouth.
Judy was always at the top she set the bar standards and everyone else falls under the bar, after all who can compete with an iconic legend AND THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME 🌈🌈🌈
Her heart is breaking and then you realize your is !
This arrangement is sublime. I miss variety shows like this. It is a Broadway show in your living room.
No one can ever sing a song like this woman!
I’m very emotional tonight… this just made me bawl… how is it possible to love and feel for someone so much that isn’t here with us anymore and was before my time… I love you Judy. I know you’re free and at peace now
She's back to singing of rainbows here- it is so poignant on so many levels. Love this.
Hauntingly brilliant "Moon River" from the depths of her soul performance is so touching & sentimental, only our precious Judy could infuse so much in to a song, timeless deeply moving performance has me coming back for a visit often...
I can't get past the "rainbow's end" without tearing up
The artistry in Judy's voice, the amazing musical arrangement and look at that SET how it sets the mood before the song even begins....just amazing, back when ART meant something.....
