On the Sunny Side of the Street - Judy Garland

[maureen1938]

Thanks for sharing this lovely video. I love it. Judy Garland was fantastic both singer and actress.

[JudyGarland38]

This is a LOVELY video, and thank you very much for sharing!! The reference to "Over the Rainbow" sends chills down my spine every time! Thank you and God bless!

[trudbol]

Wow that was beautiful, what a voice.

[NFitalianGuy]

I keep listening to this song and each time I sense she is either happy or very sad. There is something about her voice that can break even the hardest of hearts. Now this is what real singing is all about!

[NFitalianGuy]

Judy Garland's singing always captivates me. She takes us on such an amazing Journey. She doesn't sing a song, she tells a story & really believes in the Lyrics, which makes her the Greatest Singer in the history of show business. Even 42 yrs after her death, Garland's singing is unmatched. She doesn't sing in any type of style, Her singing style & amazingly perfect voice really has transcended many generations & will continue to do so! Her daughters can't touch their Mother's talent.

(she is fabulous at any age)

Poor thing suffered so much at the end of her career....people taking advantage of her....it's terrible...especially that tv producer who put her on television with her own show and made her do all the work, and didn't get hardly any money....and she had children....

[mysterious1961]

Wow.

[ImInBetween]

2 people couldn't find the sunny side of the street.

帽子を取ってコートを脱いでそしてたあしには砂金がついてくるさ­、となんとも明るいジャズナンバーですね。

[AWTD]

Of all the YouTube videos in the world, Judy had to show up here with her '42 stuff. She don't need me to tell her to knock 'em dead cos she already did. Cheers!

[charliebubblesoar]

her voice makes me cry. it's so beautiful

[OldTimeVoice]

Thank you that was very nice i liked judy very much her voice was terrific.....Thanks again......Colin.

[followthefleet1]

Probably the greatest female singer actress. A great voice is a gift of God...but the gift without work is nothing. Judy was a consummate vocal artist who, like all the great stars of her generation, worked hard to achieve their fame. They all earned it...every single on of them.

[odysseetheater]

thank you for this version, judy was one of my fist idols in this field of music and i still LOVE her interpretations of songs... this is a treasure .. thanks again

[OldTimeVoice]

That was wonderful,brings so many happy memories back to me and so many wonderful decades which i wouldn't change for anything...I'm an old man now but will die with so many wonderful talented people from that bygone age in my thoughts......"Happy Memories".........Colin.

[OldTimeVoice]

Thank you Sharon for the wonderful share

many thanks......Love Colin.

@OldTime Voice - I just put this on my 1942 playlist and there's a list for every year from today back to 1900, a trip back in time to the fantastic music of any past year with the click of your mouse.

[cyberrichie1]

Yes I agree, no voice like hers, though it changed along the (tough) way.

[princesshaleymae]

were singing this in choir

[lilamericandoll]

I sung this is chorus, we weren't good with the high notes. : |

[WickedLover008]

I'm not lying; I'm related to her; well actually I'm related to Liza Minnelli on my mom's side. she is soo amazing! :D

[97sweeney10]

God, WickedLover008. I'd kill to be related to anyone from the Garland Family!

[Punkypnk02]

oh my goodness she was so gorgeous

[cstarsoft2000]

Nobody could belt out a song like Judy Garland. Nobody.

[lexicali12]

thank you. i love judy so much.

[littlemisscareful]

Lovely pictures. Thanks for putting them on here.

"Homogenized??????" What GALL! These are

her most IGNORED examples of art. We've heard

enough of her brittle, prematurely aged

"voice" to last 140 lifetimes. New fans - as

well as older fans - need to be acquainted/

reacquainted with these gorgeous, unsoiled,

stunning vocals from BEFORE her beautiful

voice was destroyed by drug and drink. Of COURSE she was an artist at 40...but she was also a genius at 20. High time these recordings were honored. It's part of her legend.

[waif55]

I tend to agree with you, though even at the end, during periods of low medication, the art came through, even if the voice was all but shot. Yes, fans should try to seek her earlier work. You know, Judy had an unsual voice from the start, and aside from drug and drink issues, it would have matured naturally into a not-easy-listening sound, unlike the always smooth Ella or Peggy. However, don't blame the gays. Judy wouldn't have.

[monroenorma]

If you don't appreciate Judy's voice past the age of 40, simple solution, don't listen to it; everyone has a right to their own preference.

[waif55]

Did I say I didn't listen to her voice after 40? Her voice changed radically, I like and appreciate both sounds, but not everybody does. AND, in her later years that mature voice, damaged by over-use and lifestyle, wasn't always easy to listen to. For some.

[monroenorma]

Ella's voice changed quite a bit too when she got older, deeper, not as girlish, I believe she had some sort of operation, her voice was not what it was but she was brillant none the less, same goes for Sinatra, voice all but gone by mid 1960s but his style, never. It's funny how only Judy's voice is ever criticized as she got older, nobody's voice is the same in their 40s as in their teens or early 20s. With great artists, it doesn't really matter.

[PopularPinkPrincess]

she was so beautiful

[bvheath]

Beautiful woman, exquisite voice -- incomparable legend.

[igsoper]

These early recordings are great but homogenized. Listen to her recordings of old man

river and battle hymn of the republic from her shows. That is true art.

[liftoffgirl]

That is excellent, wow!

[pandorabangles]

Again, it astonishes me that so much attention's paid to the hoarse, staggering, drunken Judy of the '60s, when so many fans are truly unaware of how pure, rich, and hair-raising her voice was during the early-to-mid-40s. Blame the Judy-can-do- no-wrong crowd, who sit and salivate over her croaking, embarrasing late '60s performances and call these disasters "art." All at the expense of recordings like these. Who SAYS gay men know her best.

[micksumbling]

Thanks!

Stylish, too!

[gmlch]
