This is absolutely mystifying. It really is. Thank you to all of our amazing historians that capture these memories for us to linger and enjoy, savour and relish, for all time...with appreciation and gratitude.
Judy wasn't just a great singer. She was a goddess, miles over human judgment. Singing this classic by Jobim and Moraes Judy has set a new standard in music. I am lucky to have been on the same planet at the same time she has been. And not only she awarded us with song masterpeices but gave us Liza.
for the jerk that said she was loaded.She was sick inside one of her organs were shot.She got on that stage and sang as if nothing were wrong.That takes guts something that is in a Woman.She was dying and you say stuff you don't know then don't say it at all!!!!!!!!
I stood for 2 hours at the Frank Campbell Funeral Home just to say goodbye to my favorite star when Judy passed away. When I finally got in, I looked at her. It was as if she knew we were there, and wanted to get up and sing for us. If she only could!
Judy was an amazing & a real Entertainer. Who else could keep people's attention when there voice isn't at its best? Judy knew how to entertain, if her voice gave out she still rocked the house. People post comments about her being "loaded", how does anyone know if she was?They rehash old myths & attack a dead woman. Her talent was Great & yet when we hear her name, it's linked w/scandal instead of excellence. Why soil Judy Garland's reputation? All she ever wanted was to sing for all of us
Gorgeous & exotic "How Insensitive" show Judy Garland still magnificent even when she no longer had industry support...long gone, Judy did things on her own by this point in her life still showing heart & soul with artistic brilliance...Bravo Judy, and you are loved and missed!!! Bless those who did give her support and for shame to those who should have but didn't...
It really pees me off when comments are made about Judy's looks in her later life. So easy for these people, who are hidden behind their usernames, to so 'expertly' espouse on others. Judy is not here to defend herself. She was only too painfully fully aware that she was unwell towards the end of her life; and yet she left such wonderful treasures in clips like this one. We all should feel it a privilege to watch these and admire Judy's exquisiteness.
It has been written that Judy was the "queen of rubato" - the ability to draw her breath across her vocal cords like a bow across the strings of a cello. In this video, a few months before her passing, Judy demonstrates how this skill remained. Perfectly in tune, she breathes music, caressing the notes and infusing each beat of music with meaning. Peerless, Judy's unique ability to move excite and touch our hearts is one of the wonders of our age.
@44feathers You describe the way she sang, beautifully. Few people really understand her technique, as it seemed so effortless; her voice, at it's peak, as she demonstrates here, was an instrument; and in some cases, the only one needed. Her artistry, was never lacking; it was of the highest caliber; this is why, even her detractors, still listen.
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback...Roger Edens said of Judy that she was "all diaphragm", meaning that her breathing technique was solid as any trained singer. Though Judy wasn't a classical singer, her breathing method ensured that she could sing with tone and purity at both the bottom and top of her range with either softness or her trademark "belt". She supported her loudness with a ver well toned diaphragm, and did so to the end of her career and on the 2nd verse here.
I thought she looked great, sounded great--the interview is great--hard to believe this is just 10 mos. before her death. She must've gone downhill a lot in the last 6 mos or so before she left us. How sad, she was so talented, and we all wanted much more of her. She left us much too soon. We love you always Judy.
she was so very ill here. her face is puffy and she looks drawn and exhausted. and yet she turns in an exceptionally beautiful and heartfelt rendition of this song. actually one of my favourite performances by judy garland.
Judy = the art of interpretation. Brilliant!

If she is on pills here she still sounds better than 99% of today's singers. It is a shame she looked so old for 46 here but blame MGM.
She still sounds great here.
