Not one of my favs, but a really touching song none the less.

  • I wish she had an album of songs like this. I'd listen to it all the time. When "What'll I Do" came on the tv one day on a commercial I nearly fell over--- and demanded that my friends tell me who they thought was singing. They didn't know. When I told them Judy Garland they were surprised; they didn't know how exquisite her soft jazzy songs are.

  • I remember when that commercial first aired. It was during an award show...Oscars maybe? I loved it. I immediately went to but it on itunes!

  • The fellow who looks like Charles Aznavour is Bobby Cole. Judy fired Mel Torme for being an a-hole, which Mel certainly was. But that wasn't enough; she hired Cole, a minor nightclub performer, to take Mel's job. But Cole's real job was being Judy's new boyfriend. What is astounding is that Cole's wife also went to work for Judy! This was Cole's first and also last TV appearance, but went on to conduct for Judy occasionally. Clearly Judy had a good feeling for quiet ballads.

  • Oh, interesting tidbit. Where did you learn that?

  • So SWEEET - with a touch of tragedy and real life.

  • i'm seriously so inspired. idk how i'm going to do this song for a jazz audition haha

  • 4 people are poor butterflies... :[

  • Far superior "Butterfly" performed by Sarah Vaughn.

  • That wasn't my fathers "last TV appearance, nor was his "real job was being Judy's boyfriend". He was the musical director for her show. My mother (along with my brothers and myselfl) were moved out to CA because that is where my father worked. She became good friends with Judy...she did not work for her. You were right about Mel Torme, though :0)

  • couldn't agree with bradly more!

  • Sublime rare Garland combo performance make "Poor Butterfly" a rare treat & Judy's smooth soulful vocal is so fine...nobody could match this amazing performance & Bobby Cole is perfection with Judy...Bravo!

  • She's amazing. I love her. She has been with me since I was 2 years old. No one can top this greatness.

  • wow.

  • the 3 who dislike this must be Justin Bieber fans.
