Miss Holliday was instrumental in bringing Betty Comden & Adolph Green together, ( they later went on to write songs, along w/ Jule Styne for one of her biggest Broadway & film hits; BELLS ARE RINGING), had an IQ of over 170. She wrote the lyrics to this song, and quite a few others, most in collaboration with a partner of hers, the very gifted jazz musician Gerry Mulligan.
Judy didn't have a lot of confidence in her own singing abilities, but I think she wholly proves herself wrong here. She was an incredibly sweet and talented individual who left us way too soon in 1965. Jack Lemmon (musing in his later years) said that Judy was the "brightest" person he had ever worked with. My God, that says volumes given all the big-name talent Mr. Lemmon had worked with in his long and successful career.
Judy was one of a kind. She started in Chicago with Comden and Green. Bells Are Ringing made her Broadway career but she also won the Oscar in 1950 for being the ditzy blonde in Born Yesterday. She beat out Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd. and Bette Davis in All About Eve that year. Damned good singer, with a radiant personality. She was doing a musical about the Peace Corps when she passed away in her early 40s. But Thanks to You Tube we still have that smile that lite up B'way!
this is great. i love judy. especially in Bells are Ringing with dean martin. thats when i 1st saw her. so glad i did cuz she was and still is soo amazing.. go judy u rock
