[Jeannekm126]

I love this song and Judy perfomance. :-D

[Jimbo8137]

this is heartwrenchingly beautiful. classic judy!

[MrDACooling]

i love you judy

[franklindavid]

"Roses are dying" is a metaphor!

The English cemeteries of old, were in church yards, and for some reason the roses were always in bloom there. There was an old saying that the dead were growing the flowers and that they will never die.

[Waszma]

My mother didn't sing professionally, but had a really good voice. Judy Garland was her favorite by far. If her rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", sung on "The Judy Garland Show" in '63 (following the assination of J.F.K.) doesn't make the hair on your arms stand up, nothing will. She was peddle to the metal at all times, not one note ever came out weak.

[JimmyMd301]

A wonderful gift from above. She was taken to sing in the choir of angels. May she rest in peace.

[franklindavid]

Roses are falling? No Judy it's "Flowers are Dying"

I forgive you Judy, you have a lovely voice.

[ChicagoSouthDan]

@franklindavid A verse of the song was cut. I think the "flowers are dying" words from the verse that was cut were moved forward and replaced the "roses are falling" words, but I'm not sure. Someone who knows the song better would need to comment.  Or I suppose someone could do an Internet search on the complete lyrics to the song.

[tlisia]

@franklindavid No, it should always be 'roses falling' in the first verse. The rhyme scheme suggests 'falling', not 'dying,' regardless of how it might be sung elsewhere. Ref. 'the pipes are calling' for the rhyme.

[archie977]

as long as theres any good decent beauty joy or love in the world there will be judy.

[Moistman99]

[Jeannekm126]

[hollister18mrees]

[101KatieMusic]

THIS IS MY FAVORIT VIDEO ON YOUTUBE EVER!!!! : )

[101KatieMusic]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! It makes me cry when she sing tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow!! and at the end!! hearing this made me sing it for my talent show at my school! Judy Garland is so beutifull in every way and i love her!!

[oscarlover100]

Amazing!

Do you know what CD this song is from? I'd love to get it.......

[cuddleegeezer2009]

Colm Wilkinson is Irish so that said his version is without peer, having said that, knowing Judy's history and past what can one say?

[singerofclassics]

Judy was always my favorite female singer and yes she outshined Mickey but once she was gone Mickey and Gene Kelly never said a bad word about her unlike Mel Torme in his book "The Otherside of the Rainbow". I could listen to Judy 24/7

[KatieOnline101]

This is so beautifull!!

[tmmmviii]

Truly.

[helenajesstarzak]

Such a heart beaking song.

Sooooo beautiful!

[DrammaQueen100]

I LOVE this video!!!The song is so beatifull just like Judy was inside and out,and I love the photos and clips you put together!To Judy Rest In Peace,You will never be forgotten.We all miss you!May your soul live on forever and may you finaly make it over the rainbow.

[1dpoppyman]

See how blessed we are? People who grew up listening to and watching Judy had far less access to her than we do. Thanks for this. It's breathtaking.

[saflynn14]

She truly had a god given blessing! Mickey Rooney doesn't even hold a candle to Judy Garland and he got paid 10x more!

[BellaJeuneFille]

Nice Clip @ 1:35. What a miracle and blessing Mickey Rooney is still with us! :-)

[helenajesstarzak]

What a beautiful song and video

[TomCollinsgirl]

im 23 and she is my favorite singer ever. my grandmother introduced me to her when i was about 3 and been a fan ever since. she makes me smile, cry, or feel like dancing depending on the song. No other singer can play so many roles in different song and make it look effortless

[ucrsue]

I saw my mother cry three times: when her mother died in the early 70s, when Dad died in 1984, and when Judy died in 1969. Check out the Judy/Streisand duet! There's two awesome female voices!

[97sweeney10]

I can't stand to think she's gone now. But at least we know she's at peace and all the addictions and heartbreak are over. Rest in Peace.

[fireandicecube]

She was so amazing!!! I jus hate to know she was misrible all the time!!! You can see the heartache in her eyes with every pic!!! She stares into the distance and you can see the tears she isnt allowed to show!!! Frances had the gr8est talent the world has ever known until Michael and Whitney!!!

[ChesapeakeReview]

40 years ago today (June, 22) the world lost one of its greatest talents. I'm nearly in tears as I listen to this. Thank you Judy for making the world a better place and thank god we have your films and recordings so we never forget you.

[aronpedersen]

do you have an mp3 of this song please

[benric2000]

Greatest female entertainer of all time. No-one comes close.

[nattykins1969]

@benric2000

her voice ...you cannot put words too...just amazing and so pure

[franklinajohnson]

No one, and I mean no one could sing a song like Judy. Ever fiber of the song was drenched in emotion and meaning-just perfect. She doesn't over sing it but gives it power, she was and will forever be the greatest singer to ever live. Long live Judy Garland!

[danmessias]

@franklinajohnson

[dannybex]

@franklinajohnson Actually I think she does over sing it here...a little too 'drenched', as was her style as she got older and her health deteriorated. She did a much better version, much more touching, in the 1940 film "Little Nellie Kelly". I do agree however that she was the greatest singer and all around entertainer...

[fanchbrezoneg]

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MicheleBell1]

Love the silent video with audio & photos.

Nice work!

[kappyxisxscene]

she sounds soooo different when she was older.

comparing to how she sounded in the wizard of oz (which was still extraordinary),

she sounds magnificent.

[helenajesstarzak]

This made me cry in tears...

This song was beautyful. But yes, very sad

and Judy Garland belong to my heart,

I am huge fan.

Thank for for posting this, kudos to you!

[Hank0531]

check out Danny Boy by Eva Cassidy. You will all like that too. Hank7

[patcauch]

How deep is her voice. She reachs my soul. She felt the just emotion for each song, each word.

What an artist, a woman !!!

[dandeexxxx]

this was my moms favorite song and singer. Its a shame she got caught up in so many bad things which shortened her life. Judy-not my mom

[dribble41]

lovely

[waif55]

Magnificent...but what album is it from? It sounds different from the version I remember on one of the Capitol albums. Of course my memory could be faulty.

[hmfrias]

i think it's from the Judy Garland show.

[waif55]

Thanks, but I don't think so...if the year is correct, there was no Judy Garland Show in 1955. It sounds like a studio recording.

Whatever--it's a gorgeous rendition.

[OTRNut]

she recorded it for Capitol Records in 1955

[kellbell2313]

omg I'm singing a solo f this for choir!

[space14605]

If its true that we reap what we sow, Judy is singing for the divine right now, and all those rotten bastard producers, directors and agents that addicted her and ruined her life are barking in hell. The world needs to protect those once in a millennium talents, to make them happy, and not let parasitic movie moguls take such terrible advantage of them.

[augury010]

And it didn't help that everywhere she went, literally everywhere, people were mobbing her to sing "Over the Rainbow." That would be enough to drive any person insane.

It's such a shame, though, because her beauty was incomparible, and her voice belonged to an angel...

[helenajesstarzak]

This made me cry so much!

[rowdy22chick]

Flawless beauty in every capacity. Anyone in the world could make a career out of a third of what she possessed.

[Wonzong]

"The only reason that Cher's is better is that Cher sings the whole song"?!! Are you high? Hey, I like "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" as much as the next fella but this JUDY GARLAND we're talking about. Christ.

[judyflorescu]

so nice, tear shedding :) love you judy

[defundthewar]

Heartbreaking, as it should be. And doesn't she hit the bull's eye on that high note

at 2:08?

[punisher21200]

It's a shame Judy is gone now. :(

[mundanny]

This is a great interpretation of the song. The only reason that Cher's is better is that Cher sings the whole song; whereas Judy (in this recording) leaves out the last part. I would love to hear Judy sing the whole song.

[holisox]

as always, very well done...thanks for the upload

[chunkylumps]

Very nice...as always well done!Do you have any really rare recordings to post?:-)
