Judy Garland---You and I

PLEASE READ THIS!

This is silly, but close your eyes when you listen to this song--it's utterly powerful and emotionally moving. I can never get tired of listening to it, and it is just another example of the power and talent of Judy Garland's voice.
---------------------
This beautiful song, written by Meredith Wilson (who also wrote music for The Music Man & The Unsinkable Molly Brown) is featured in the new Judy Garland French CD that was released in May of this year. 'You and I' was originally aired on 'The Big Show', a radio episode, on February 11, 1951.

I am a big fan of Judy's singing, but I ain't feeling this one. Perhaps because I prefer her 1960's voice which was deeper and warmer in tone. This sounds kinda shrill, although it's always a treat hearing something new. Thanks for sharing!

@jimblackwood You're welcome and I completely agree - I personally am partial to Judy's mid/late 1950s voice, around the time when she cut several records for Capitol (Alone, Judy, etc). There was that warmth and deepness (like you said) that she didn't quite have before.

But I love the arrangement especially on this song which is why I had to post it. :)

I kicked off my slippers. Closed my eyes (as you suggested) and began to drift away...beautiful song.

@americangalbasseyfan - aw, I'm glad you did - it's such a powerful song, it's lovely. :)

Incredible song..can anyone tell me which album this is from...I can't seem to locate it...

[romantic2543]

All the info about the album is in the "More Info" section...I put the link to listings of the tracks on there, too. I got my copy off of Amazon...it just came out last year so it should still be available.  Hope that helps! :)

Okay-ish song, but I have to say Miss G. is in fine vocal form. The mid- 1940's to maybe 1961 was her best. Tho her early singing has a pristine quality--and an upper register--that vanished with her maturity.

@waif55 I noticed that! The same thing happened to her daughter Liza!
