Judy Garland- "Swing Mister Charlie" 1936

[imintheact]

her voice sounds the same as when she got older

[organicskating]

I love this tune! Her phrasing was so there at 14! Thanks for uploading!

Stothart and Stoll of MGM music were better than most professional big bands. Only Bob Crosby was in their league. Superthartline

para mi desde luego es un latido en el corazon que convulciona mi cuerpo y mi mente........

I had not idea that "Mr. Charlie" meant a while slave owner. Must not have been too widespread.

[waynebrasler]

Always loved this recording. From the start she was unparalleled.

[adawolfe]

Mr. Charlie was almost certainly a reference to Charlie Barnet, a famous swing bandleader rather than a reference to the white slaveowner.

I got the reply in my inbox from holisox that said this was from before her mgm days. That means it is before the Roger Edens period where I had thought her phrasing & timing were fine-tuned. I am amazed at this, since I thought he polished her. She is very polished here, in the most natural way. I understand every single word, & there is no trace of affectation (which in the early 30's.....?) It leads me to think less of the mgm/ Edens effect. She's incredibly good, on her own young self.

EXCELLENT comment, Judy was simply one of the best ever. There's no polish to be added to a voice that's already a work of art. Glad to see the year on this newest addition to my series of music playlists for each of the past 100 years, pop music's evolution over 4 generations, my channel's your ticket to any past year . . .

Judy looks like her sister Jimmie in picture at- 0:52

[Mabon27]

From the start of the swing music craze, and sounding pretty darn good.

[sisalrug]

Is this before her contact with MGM? If so this an untrained 14 year old getting by on vaudeville experience and her mother's instructions. Incredible!

[holisox]

she signed with MGM in 1935 so it was recorded after

[Tannwald]

[bigphilc]

Thanks so much for posting this! Golly but she was great!

[thewomandirector]

Please post more! Terrific stuff. What maturity.

[joanmelonie]

Thanks so much, so this was the recording on the other side of Stompin. at the Savoy. What a joy she was, with that fresh young voice.

[rubytarbox]

I believe this was her very first commercially released recording. the magic was already in the air.

[karalyeva1985]

14 years old...can you believe it? Thanks a lot!
