Yes, Libranway, we all of us lost when Judy's frail body decided it just couldn't take any more.... but whoever crammed so much into forty-seven years and two weeks? All those memories -- she was doing great work way back in 1935 and right up to at least November 1968 (the Harold Arlen tribute, a...

This has to be right up near the top of the list of memorable Judy garland performances... it should be set alongside Sinatra's "Don't Like Goodbyes" from "Close to You" and Billie Holiday's "I Thought About You". I missed hearing it when it was issued in 2006 (I think I assumed it was the sound...

My teenage daughters are coming with me to the Sydney concert... this is a lady who transcends generations... a real star in an age where there are few (if any) left. Just watch Chita dance with ANYBODY on Youtube, and try to look at her dancing partner.... just try!

If anyone wants to watch Judy giving her 'take' on the night she lost the Oscar to Grace Kelly, it's now right here on Youtube. It's on the TheManThatGetAway page, which is a treasure of movie and TV memories. Scroll down to you get to the "Judy garland TV shows" section.. it's clearly labelled, ...

When you're as great a singer as Judy, I guess you can afford to be as warm and generous as she clearly is on this tape (and Rainbow on this show)... those who were lucky enough to see her own TV series will remember how, in her guests' solos, she'd sit just off-camera, and be enraptured at every...

You don't need a dictionary to define "pro" for you... all you need to do is look at a clip like this. Supremely confident, totally in command, and who cares if the song is wrong for her, and she is wrong for the song... you get the feeling that if the set fell down around her, she wouldn't even ...

Well, thank you, Bruce... I think you've just made my Christmas, also. But, may I say, you've made a few other days for me in the last few months.... I really get a lot out of yours and your colleagues' posts on TJGE. Regards, Alan (who once, back in 1964, shook hands with the object of our affec...

Absolutely flawless. Carol is so great at just being Carol that it's easy to forget that she can do stuff like this, to totally immerse herself in another character, and bring it off so brilliantly. I've watched Sammy Davis, Rich Little..... but I never laughed as much at them as at Carol destro...

What a wonderful choice to put on You-tube! Out here in Australia, this has always been the most-seldom-seen of all the Judy Garland movies, the one all the fans would talk about and travel huge distances to catch in a battered 16mm print (the only one then in the country, it seems), sitting on b...

Helen Merrill certainly is an original..... I always used to think that she sang songs as if she'd never heard anyone else sing them before, and, indeed, as if she'd never heard anyone sing before! I still treasure those first albums, on Emarcy, and it's surprising, some fifty years later, how of...

@chasspeed : I don't think many people have heard about the Sydney taping; I was fortunate enough to be there when it was recorded, so you can imagine I was hanging on Channel 7 screening it (they had announced it as a forthcoming one-hour special). However, eventually they telecast just one song...

Still the voice of the 1950s that has lasted better than any other. Listening to this, a half-century after it was recorded, you can believe that it might have been recorded just this morning. June was an original....and if you've been lucky enough to hear her Capitol albums, you'll know that the...
