Judy Garland - Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart ('Listen, Darling', 1938)

[65wiseman]

Judy at her absolute zenith!

[sona82]

I have never heared something more ardently than Judy´s songs. Got tears in my eyes every time I hear her. It is evident what her feelings are while she is singing, and the strength to go through all of this, but not enough to make it at the end. Oh Judy, you´ll always be a special star for us..

[internezzohole]

i was one of the women behind the woman in white.

[Chuxmax1965]

Pure perfection

[rosabaca21]

What a voice!!!

[elliottrainbow]

This shows why over 40 years after her death she is still considered one of the best entertainers of all time - if not THE best! I love Judy!

[65wiseman]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[EkseteraEksetera]

I have a friend who looks exactly like Judy Garland in this video!

[mightybruno]

do 'nt hate the player hate the game

[sugiyamasakura1212]

I love judy garland when i watch the wizard of oz i watch it everyday.. and i hate justin bieber hes a gay!

[cinderelmo]

@sugiyamasakura1212 That is not a nice thing to say because Judy had a large gay following and that is not polite as a matter of fact the rainbow colors and rainbow flag that is associated with homosexual such as in gay parades is in honor of Miss Judy Garland in reference to her most famous song Over The Rainbow from her most famous movie The Wizard Of Oz so that is not polite to say and use the term gay in a derogatory sense, her daughter Liza Minnelli is a gay icon as well.

[jaytlr9]

@cinderelmo Great post, cinderelmo. Thanks.

[cinderelmo]

@jaytlr9 Well your'e welcome, I just had to keep it real, Judy I love her she was fantastic, she had/has a large gay following the gay rainbows is because of Judy, the term friend of Dorothy is associated with her and her daughter Liza is a gay icon as well, I love Judy so much she is like my Michael Jackson or Elvis she was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century and an great underrated actress, she will always have a place in my heart and has a lot of sentimental value to me.

[cinderelmo]

@jaytlr9 When Marilyn Monroe died, Over The Rainbow was played no one plans to die but if I do one day I wan't Over The Rainbow played for me too.

[StupidLamb251]

She sang this song for her audition at MGM. No wonder she got the job!

[JoaoPhantomOfOpera]

You guys... She isn't SIMPLY VERY TALENTED! She's the GOODNESS OF SONG! The GOODNESS! Understood? GOODNESS!

[DefyGravity464]

@JoaoPhantomOfOpera Oh my goodness!

[MrRepolho1]

I prefer Alan, Herb, Gordon and Jerome singing.

[JackandSally1508]

Lovely! I should of been around in the 30's/40's!

[jwb1949]

No one can compete with Judy, she was in a class all by herself...one of the greatest talents of all time!!!

[MuzzyVanH]

It seems to me that talent like this makes the one delivering it become beautiful. I love her HEAPS!

[WildWildWest30000]

Beautiful voice

[marcolopolis555]

lovely

Mary Astor completes this video

[ColumbiaPerna]

The actress in the hat is the fabulous Mary Astor - amazing how, in the same film, they had the actress with the greatest speaking voice and the actress with the greatest singing voice. Listen to me, folks. Talent like this is GONE -- no arguments please -- you will never see talent like this again -- it's actually sad.

[MrDACooling]

I love you judy , you move me like no one can move me , you touch me like no one can touch me, and you please me like no one can please me, i'll meet you again i hope

[officialunfocused]

For a second, she looked like Christina Ricci in my eyes. o.o Only for a second. But what a beautiful voice.

[ReenieD]

such an amazing and mature voice from such a young girl!

[MissTina1993]

adorable girl deserves the best, and she was. all love you little dorothy

[milindojerez]

Her voice is heaven sent. She's angelic.

[whimsicalVanilla]

I love this song, its so beautiful. Judy's singing is like an angels! Its been stuck in my head for the last two or three days.

Does anyone know where i can find the lyrics of this song? I figure if i have the song stuck in my head, i may as well know all the lines

[mrkyle316]

judy was so hot when she was young

[MrJonavo]

Judy is the only performer I've seen in film that can bring tears to my eyes with a song. She acts out her lyrics better than anybody I have ever seen.

[abintot]

can't imagine that in 60 years if people will admire justin bieber as we admire judy garland now..:P

[DefyGravity464]

@abintot Good gravy.

[thecottingleyfairy]

classy, beautiful, elegant, talented... and she was only 16!

[DominicCAlfonso]

Judy Garland looks like an angel :)

[DebsTasha45]

@DominicCAlfonso Judy Garland is an angel :)

[Radetzky19]

1 person never had the strings of his/her go 'zing'!

[sensitive4321]

zing went my heart for judy

[MrWarners14]

Is it just me or does the guy at 1:43 look like a spitting image of Shia LaBeouf?

BTW, Judy's great in this!

;)

[souliersnoirs]

@MrWarners14 - I think he is Freddie Bartholomew, who was another 1930's child star (David Copperfield, Little Lord Fauntleroy, et al.) But yes - now that you mention it - resembles Shia LaBoeuf.

[Abbeysums]

This is so touching and lovely! Thank you for posting such a sweet video!

[WikeddTung]

can't think of a lovelier song interpreted by a more beautiful voice

[lilgiggler35]

mgm had an image of beauty they wanted in all their female leads. they succeeded (in their eyes) in changing judy. thay attempted the same thing with Shirley Temple during the few years she worked for them. her body resisted all their attempts.

[blue2765]

Before the drugs started to take hold. Raw talent being groomed by the studios. I am glad they did but in a way, I am sad the did. I beleive what made her a star was her ability to bring out the emotion of a song.

[superanimefan275]

Truly beautifl :')

[saolili]

This is singing at its best. A young Judy Garland could compete with professional singers older than her, back in her days and today.

A beautiful voice, a beautiful personality, a beautiful face, and a beautiful song.

[NGVell89]

Judy is so beautiful. If she wasn't forced to lose weight and still looked the way she does in this video, she would've been more convincing as a 12-year old girl when she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

[MuppetShowManiac]

and to think that MGM thought of her as a "Fat little monster" and forced her to eat chicken broth for lunch every day. she was perfect the way she was and they should have recognized her for her talent. RIP Judy Garland.

[3rdbase04]

How could they have wanted to change her appearance? She was absolutely beautiful.

[saolili]

@3rdbase04 Judy Garland was naturally beautiful, but MGM gave her a bit of a touch up to make her appear even more beautiful in their movies, including making her lose weight, and reshaping her nose and teeth.

[bronco3250]

@saolili Yeah, in other words killed her.

[taylawrence]

i wish i had an opportunity to hear her in person....that would be a treat....

[saolili]

@taylawrence Maybe you did hear her in person. Maybe you lived in her era and there is reincarnation.

[taylawrence]

@saolili that would be a dream come true........

[1912jackdawson1912]

i was going to say judy looks like ellen page, but no.

ellen looks similar to judy garland here :)

[gmd717]

Thank you to anyone who puts these videos up, I love this woman so much. 

[Jayee123]

Angelic. In looks as well as voice.

[10forRP]

Judy is one of the only singers I have heard who captivates me with the first syllable out of her mouth... it's hard to describe what it is about her voice but it's so pleasant

[77sunsetable]

What a voice love it makes me cry she lived in the spotlight from the start of her short life. She never really got to enjoy it she took it where she got it. Happy she had some fun that voice takes me back

[KevinMacMusic]

Uncle Henry!

[sexytwizzlers]

I absolutely LOVE this movie!! I wish I had this movie.

[yutubecmnt]

I love her nose wrinkle! She was so cute when she'd do that (:

[MickeyLovesJudy]

By far one of the best singers i ever heard!

[MrDACooling]

i love you Judy Garland , i wish you could stay forever young

[koss121]

she sounds irish!

[MrDACooling]

simply perfection what more can i say

[GayClassClown]

I cry every time i think of what Louie B Mayer did to that little girl.......like ripping the wings off an angel.......

[joshscomputer]

HAPPY BELATED 89TH BIRTHDAY, LOVELY JUDY!!! We all miss you dearly!

[PrincessMedia2011]

The first time i saw this, I almost cried. This song was soo sweet and soo good. I wish that Judy was still alive to see all of her fans that missed her dearly, espacially her children, Liza, Lorna, and Joey. ='(

[harrypotterlovescats]

does anyone know what key this is in??? if so can you e mail the key to me please???

gabriella_marie@yahoo.om thanks!

[katiekannibal23]

The amazing thing is she is 16 here. Now days you have Justin Bieber And Miley Cyrus... How does that compete with this at all?

[MrLadyjack]

@katiekannibal23 it doesn't.....

[brittquin2009]

@katiekannibal23 none can compare...love love love Judy Garland..

[yutubecmnt]

@katiekannibal23 AHA, perfectly put (;

[Juliaflo]

@katiekannibal23 It does not. Don't forget Miss Germanotta.

[MrPaevo]

@katiekannibal23 They don't.

[missandcourt64]

@katiekannibal23 i love Judy . like i want to see more films of hers. she is so talented. more than JB and MC

[kittystolemycookie94]

@katiekannibal23 Good question!! It doesn't at all! Judy Garland blows them out of the water!

[Spidernonono]

@katiekannibal23 There's always a comment like this. They're so old. Especially because Miley Cyrus isn't popular anymore, and just about every older song has a comment on it about Justin Bieber.

[jdreyer65]

@katiekannibal23 not at all!!! not even remotely close!!!

[LauraLovesAlmanzo]

@katiekannibal23 She was 15 here since it was 1938, because when it was 1939 she was in Wizard Of Oz, in the movie she was 16. ( I watched a interview on her and they said she was only 16). NP, :)

[LilNancyy16]

@katiekannibal23 Yeahh she has an amazing voice but Justin Bieber is very talented as well it's just a different style of music.

[katiekannibal23]

@LilNancyy16 Very talented? Are you fucking kidding me? Every single one of his songs is autotuned as fuck. This right here? This is real, true talent.

[mightybruno]

@katiekannibal23 like i said do'nt hate the player hate the game

[enamorada1000veces]

Beatiful voice..so adorable, so wonderful,..i love Judy Garland

[Patinardibr]

One of the sweetest things I've ever heard or see! She's so special!

[NoMoreBubbleGum1]

wow, shes so beautiful

[turnitback]

@NoMoreBubbleGum1 I get tired of reading these attempts to deride young people. There have always been beautiful and talented people; and, for as long as there are humans, there always will be. Therefore, why should anyone be surprised that Judy, lovely as she was, was 16 in this clip. While I like music from my teens, I also like it from long before and since; for example, I love Kid Ory and Fats Waller, but I also love Gary Barlow. Why not try opening your mind, NMBG. You might enjoy it.

[cwg1977]

I think the old guy is Uncle Henry from the Wizard of Oz!

[me323]

@cwg1977 yeah it is. Charley Grapewin is his name. An old time vaudeville player.

[bingfan22]

@me323 Yep! He also appeared in quite a few silent films and played Bing Crosby's uncle in a film called "Rhythm on The Riber" made in 1940.

[bsa139]

I love the old guy's facial expressions!

[musicmaniac424]

i mean... that face...

[1dpoppyman]

This is the non swing version I always rave about. The last note always gets me. What a soaring way to end this song.

[steveb1164]

JG sang this song for her audition at MGM. Freddie Bartholomew later said he was in love with her (he's the one mooning over her).

[whitehousetexas]

Wow! Frances Gumm from Minnesota looks as good as she sounds!

[brandonhighgirl]

Simply Enchanting

and Im 17
