My God, Judy reaches way down and pulls up a truly heart-wrenching song. Not a lot of singers from her day - or even today - could pull this off in the way Garland does here.
This incredible song is from show #26. I know that she loved Irving Berlin's songs and I'm so glad that she sang this song. I think we have to ask the question:"Why do we believe every word that Judy ever sang". Well she sang since she was 2 and she learned at the greatest school house there was for singers:MGM. It's interesting, she definitely drew from her own life experiences and yet she made the message so universal. She got into this series thinking that she would make millions.ah well
Not as fierce as Barbra's version. Given this song is about a man who'd been lynched and killed, EWW! The both of them have eschewed that point in favor of just a man who left them. I think I need to give props to Babs here.
