She doesn't just sing - she performs. She believes the words, thinks about what she's saying, so we do to. It makes even old standards fresh because she seems to care about what she's doing.
I LOVE when she slams her hands down on the podium at the end of the performance! This isn't the only time she's done that, but I just LOVE when she does it!
Judy sang "As Long" twice on her show. The first time was early during the series, in 1963. This is the clip shown here. The second time was taped (her show was never filmed) on March 6, 1964 for show #25, the next to last. It can be seen on youtube also. Look up "Get Happy/As Long As He Needs Me."
In the show "Oliver", Nancy sings this song as if her love would never cause her harm. Of course we all know that she is killed by her lover. Judy's voice is like Butter here(to borrow a phrase). Vincente Minnelli was in the booth during the taping of this show. He complimented George Slaughter, tellin him that he was shooting Judy just the way he would do if he were doing this show. There is no bettere rendition!
My favorite version of this song hands down. There is no one comes close to her. The network execs told her to change the lyric and not use the word "hell" but she wouldn't change it. Catch the quick defiant glance she gives the camera at 2:30 just before she sings it. I love that woman! .
Every time I hear this song, this performance and especially if I watch as I did when I was 6 year's old, it makes me cry, it makes me short of breath and it defies all comprehension that anyone who has known love cannot be affected by it in the very same way. The way she builds it from every cell in her little body was a miracle to behold and always will be. That it is here on and on film and in the ether forever is fantastic. And I'm a straight punk rocker biker, so you can trust I'm right.
Judy! Judy! Judy!! SO incredibly great is "As Long As He Need Me" by Garland, no description cab describe how great Garland is doing this classic...a performance to watch over and over again, the ultimate...Bravo Judy...nobody could compare today to this definitive performance!
Garland looking magnificent giving the memorable performance of a lifetime, Judy simmers & soars as only she could going to the core of "As Long As He Needs Me" making this magical performance a timeless classic moment to be enjoyed over and over again...Bravo Judy & RIP
@101genco comment gave me a good laugh for today...comparing Shani to Judy is like comparing Aretha to Beyonce and not saying Shani is not a fine singer but Garland gets inside this classic and owns it...
NO EFFORT AT ALL!!!!! She sings the hell out of this song.She is breath taking here and she stay in my memories just like this because that is the way she was for as long as she could be.98lbs here giving everything she's got!!!Thank all of you that put Great stuff up of Judy Garland.GOD I Love her!!!! Barb...
Jimbo8137watch her more and watch her closely and as she takes your heart in her hands and warms your very soul and brings you sunshine and never lets you down in any of her songs then maybe you will begin to understand what this Woman talent did,dose and always do to you inside yourself.Maybe then you will feel what you don't understand right now Love Barb...
Judy Garland had one of the most amazing & beautiful voices. You can just see how Judy puts her all into her songs, you can see it in her face. This song gives me the chills everytime I hear it. It is sad that Miss Garland had such an emotional & hard life. Her legacy will forever be remembered. One of the best performers of the 20th century. We will never see the likes of her again. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.
OMG this is the best live performance iv ever seen any star perform, GOD i so wish that i had the oppertunity to meet her, i love the way she licks her lips at 3.08 judy garland u are quite simply the best, just wish u were still here wiv us, i love u sooooo much xxxxx
She is so cute and tiny any one who may have seen her or worked with her had to have wondered at least once a day what a set of pipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD love you Judy. After all you endured here on earth.The Angels must be smiling because you are there with them. Still Loving you Barb...
@bttrflyscar1 I'm 14 and all of this music appeals to me, I could sit all day and listen to this kind of music. I hate the music of today, hardly anyone that is famous has a genuine talent
@ArBoBsIsE Most of the 'famous' people of today are people who have bought their fame, footy stars, or rich bimbo's who try to buy the fame that does not belong to them. There are very few stars left that have any real talent
its seriously annoying how all you people keep bashing the present, like honestly stop whining about your glory days and just let my generation be what it will. Yes Judy is clearly amazing and timelessly beautiful but i DOUBT the intention of this performance was to have ppl 40 years later bitching about how "stupid" todays singers are. Because in 40 years those "stupid" singers will be my glory days, so kindly shut the fuck up.

Much as I think Judy Garland can do no wrong, I think you also ought to listen to Shani Wallis. To me she is THE Nancy (if you can get past the atrocious accent!).
I feel so bad for Judy. She didn't make a dime off this show. Her manager stole all of it. She was on the verge of POVERTY towards the end of her life because of him.
@Jimbo8137 It probably means a number of things, but one thing it certainly means is that you are a person with a special regard for 'soulfulness' ... so you have the capacity to treat people well and perhaps bring some joy into another person's world, if you choose. A very good thing indeed.
that dame could BLOW!!!!! i give it to judy, the girl had chops to spare! dionne warwick's version is the one i've grown up with since before adolesence and i searched for hers on here and couldn't find it; judy's is a more than comparable substitute.
Look carefully at 2:30 and you'll see a lightening flash snarky look into the camera, right before she sings "the hell, I've got my pride." That was for the CBS execs who would be watching. They had warned her not to sing the word "hell." They wanted her to change the lyric to "you know I've got my pride." That's how it was then, in 1963. Of course, now you can say or do anything, and have no particular talent.
@Jimbo8137 i agree jimbo...back in the day you had to have actual TALENT, nowadays all it takes is running around damn near naked, wear sagging pants, doing some lewd gyrations or having a stream of profanity coming from one's mouth and the industry tries to pass this off as talent. do you hear that clinking sound like a spoon against glass? it's the entertainment industry hitting the bottom of the proverbial jar.
It seems I have one of the few last chances in life - that is to hear this ANGELIC voice of Judy Garland. One may wish to live forever listening to her voice. It is like travelling unrestrained into a place close to utopia.
Judy gets inside a song & takes you to the depths with passion & that glorious voice ...television Sunday eve 63-64 enthralled me as a music loving teen watching this gorgeous gifted legend & her magnificent "As Long As He Needs Me" is definitive...Bravo Judy and you are missed!!!
I've talked to a lot of friends from other places and the one thing we seem to always come back to is - HOW IN THE HELL did one country produce so many important singers. Judy Garland at this point in her carreer is where; life experience / talent / technique / and interpretation all came together to create perfection!
In my opinion this is one of two show-stoppers from 'Oliver', the other being 'Where is Love?'. Very emotional songs both, and of course Judy is Judy here. Perfection.
Judy Garland is definitely in a class all her own, but years later lets not forget that great talent of hearts, Karen Carpenter, may she RIP softy signing sweet melodies with no doubt, her heavenly friend Judy ;)
LOVE this interpretation. . . Judy was simply an irreplaceable legend! It is so sad to me that what we are looking at is a FOURTY-TWO year-old woman. . . such a shame what the pills did to her.
Gawd, just NOBODY sings like this anymore it's incredible to hear such a qonderful wonderful interpreter of song. Gonderful? jeez mags... I meant, Wonderful. Wonderful!
I wasn't born until 1955, & Judy died in 1969. But in that short time I cherished each & every of her performances. She was a living legend. Effortless, powerful, emotional, & she really got to me. Her stage presence & charisma were beyond belief. I sure miss her.
This from one of the first shows in 1963 with Liza Minnelli as her guest judy had a different look and hair style toward the end of the show.. Who cares really when it was aired or taped? It's Judy Garland, singing LIVE! :)
It's amazing how people never really appreciated her talent while she was alive, the way they do now. It's because there isnt a voice or talent on this earth now that can compare to this great woman's raw talent and incredible GOD given voice. If you don't believe in GOD I guarantee after hearing Judy for the first time, will change your mind.
@NFitalianGuy I get some of your point, but she was one of the biggest BIGGEST stars ever --films, TV, stage, records, radio,, the whole multi-media she conquered before anyone knew what multi-media "was".
She was well-appreciated. You could not compare a modern "star" to her stardom that she enjoyed in the 40s, 50s, & early 60s.
That's where "star" stops and where "legend" begins. Fact.
@Vengeance509 I totally understand and makes sense. it's like apples and oranges.. She was MGM's greatest Musical Star and held the public's interest for so long that she was A living Legend.
In terms of "comparisons," one can't compare, but pound for pound, hurt for hurt, love for love, gift for gift ... not one damned soul on earth can even APPROACH this woman.
This shocking rendition alone smushes Streisand, Dion, and ... well, *everyone*, under a heel.
Listen and learn. This is Judy Garland.
And I guarantee: this undeserving earth earth will not see her like again.
I get chills every time I hear and/or see this. Love Judy, love the song.

@ncruz609 I agree. Why did we ever leave that golden era behind? What we have now just does not compare

@ncruz609 There's exceptional talent out there - it just goes unappreciated and/or unnoticed.

Judy gets inside a song & takes you to the depths with passion & that glorious voice ...television Sunday eve 63-64 enthralled me as a music loving teen watching this gorgeous gifted legend & her magnificent "As Long As He Needs Me" is definitive...Bravo Judy and you are missed!!!

I've talked to a lot of friends from other places and the one thing we seem to always come back to is - HOW IN THE HELL did one country produce so many important singers. Judy Garland at this point in her carreer is where; life experience / talent / technique / and interpretation all came together to create perfection!

Everything she sings, I swear it's as if she's making up the lyrics on the spot. So genuine and convincing.

In my opinion this is one of two show-stoppers from 'Oliver', the other being 'Where is Love?'. Very emotional songs both, and of course Judy is Judy here. Perfection.

Yes, I believe this is from her third show and was filmed in the summer of 1963.

Even the incomparable Bassey has to take a back seat to this. There are no superlatives to describe her adequately.

Judy Garland is definitely in a class all her own, but years later lets not forget that great talent of hearts, Karen Carpenter, may she RIP softy signing sweet melodies with no doubt, her heavenly friend Judy ;)

LOVE this interpretation. . . Judy was simply an irreplaceable legend! It is so sad to me that what we are looking at is a FOURTY-TWO year-old woman. . . such a shame what the pills did to her.

while judy did perform this song on episode 25, this is actually her performance of "as long as he needs me" from the show where Liza was her guest

Sometimes for just a little while God allows one of her Angels to
come to Earth and sing to us for a little while.
But, then of course she calls them back much to soon.
One such Angel is Judy Garland.

I wasn't born until 1955, & Judy died in 1969. But in that short time I cherished each & every of her performances. She was a living legend. Effortless, powerful, emotional, & she really got to me. Her stage presence & charisma were beyond belief. I sure miss her.

Bing Crosby, perhaps, said it best: "At her best, there was nothing that little giel couldn't do...except take proper care of herself."
THIS is Judy at her best, of which there is no better.

This from one of the first shows in 1963 with Liza Minnelli as her guest judy had a different look and hair style toward the end of the show.. Who cares really when it was aired or taped? It's Judy Garland, singing LIVE! :)

It's amazing how people never really appreciated her talent while she was alive, the way they do now. It's because there isnt a voice or talent on this earth now that can compare to this great woman's raw talent and incredible GOD given voice. If you don't believe in GOD I guarantee after hearing Judy for the first time, will change your mind.
NFitalianGuy 1 year ago
@NFitalianGuy I get some of your point, but she was one of the biggest BIGGEST stars ever --films, TV, stage, records, radio,, the whole multi-media she conquered before anyone knew what multi-media "was".
She was well-appreciated. You could not compare a modern "star" to her stardom that she enjoyed in the 40s, 50s, & early 60s.
That's where "star" stops and where "legend" begins. Fact.

@Vengeance509 I totally understand and makes sense. it's like apples and oranges.. She was MGM's greatest Musical Star and held the public's interest for so long that she was A living Legend.

Please. You're all off your meds.1
In terms of "comparisons," one can't compare, but pound for pound, hurt for hurt, love for love, gift for gift ... not one damned soul on earth can even APPROACH this woman.
This shocking rendition alone smushes Streisand, Dion, and ... well, *everyone*, under a heel.
Listen and learn. This is Judy Garland.
And I guarantee: this undeserving earth earth will not see her like again.
