Could everyone stop comparing Judy and her daughters! They are individually fantastic performers. I know Judy Garland is smiling down at both Lorna and Liza! She's a very proud mother!

100% respect to Lorna Luft on this performance. I am not familiar with Luft's work but she sang this rendition with such powerful emotion and hit and held the high notes = AWESOME.
I love how both Liza and Lorna perform just like their mother, Judy Garland. It's almost as if they do the hand movements that Judy did when performing to be powerful and leave the viewer with a sense of wonder and respect to the both of them (sorry, if that sounds confusing).
Lorna is a great live performer. She came to Wolverhampton in concert, she was fantastic. I've seen many stars perform and she is right up there with the best of them. She has a great voice, classy beyond belief and a really likeable stage presence. I love her to bits
I think it would be difficult to grow up as Liza being compared in everything you do to your mother. Then Imagine being Lorna and being compared to not only your mother but your big sister as well! And have the guts to still go out there and sing. I have to give it to them! They are both very talented women!
I was at this concert and it was fabulous! Not only did Liza and Lorna perform but it had a host of stars like Charles Aznavour, Tom Jones, Jerry Lewis, Donald O'Connor. Great memories
Each time I hear to one of my favorite songs and performed by the unique Lorna, I cry. Because if you are not sure to be yourself, you just gotta listen to this. Pure magic, pure music... pure Art.
I met her when was appearing Ft. Lauderdale doing her "Songs My Mother Taught Me" we chatted backstage for about 15 min. When I brought up the subject of Judy she cringed so I quickly changed the subject to her kids that took the tension out of her reaction. She has/had a very good voice but she's one tough lady!
I agree lornafanuk, Lorna was the best singer that night. I was disappointed she only she got to sing one song. I also loved Tom Jones singing Mr Bojangles
This is amazing, listened to song today on a program and i herd it differently, reflex my last 30 months, so i have just watched the great 'sir' Sammy Davis jr about 20 times, then seen this video, ' proves we maybe alone in our journeys, but not alone in our commitment to be 'me or you', I have gotta be free, i just gotta be free, daring to try, to do it or die, 'I gotta be me'. I have even documented this for last 30 months on linkedin Jeremymclean@linkedin Thank you
what a singer! what a voice! I think she has a contralto voice but you can see where she got it from! as Judy garland was brilliant. Where has all the talent gone/ i mean that is showbiz as i remember growing up and seeing these kind of shows on TV but today it just isnt the same any more
Judy was the face and THE voice. Liza is an entertainer; not the face, not the voice of her mom, but so darned entertaining, and she is my favorite. Lorna ... she got overlooked.
Oh, wow!! You managed to upload it - thank you SO much...it's my absolute favourite!! Definitely a five-star rating...and I've added it to my faves, too. THANK YOU!!!!
I think Lorna has the better technical voice.. which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but doesn't have quite the "wow" or "star" factor of Judy or Liza. It's not something you can gain by study or anything. I think it is incredible that Judy's talent got passed down to both daughters in some way or another.
Lorna has a nice voice and sang this song with power and passion. Lorna lacked stage presence, though. I wonder how Judy, Liza and Lorna sounded if they sang together. If Judy lived long enough ... It's telling though that Lorna spoke a lot like Liza. The intonation, the accent, a kind of thestricality about it. They grew up together: maybe they got that from their mother.
STOP STOP LIZA IS WONDERFUL AND LORNA IS ALSO WONDERFUL JUDY WAS WELL JUDY. LIZA HAS WON EVERY AWARD KNOW TO MAN AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SAY LIZA IS DONE WELL SHE JUST WON HER 4TH TONY IN 2009.
Oh no I don't mean Liza and Judy didn't had powerful voices! I just believe that Lorna's voice is "bigger" and Liza's voice has more an edge - And I love that! I sincerely hope you know i am not slamming Liza down, I love Liza, it's just what I feel :)
I think that Lorna would have been more successful if she was not Judy Garland's daughter & Liza's half sister; she always had that shadow of comparison blighting her career. She had the talent of her own.
Why isn't this available on dvd? I think she didn't make it big like Liza because of her career choices. She started out trying to sing rock music. Her voice is more suited for Broadway. Had she stayed on Broadway for a while she could have had a more successful career.
I think that Lorna has a more powerful and "bigger" so to speak voice, than Liza has.. But Liza stands out more, she is more unique than Lorna is and I think that's why Liza is a bigger star than Lorna is but I also think that Lorna deserves more attention and credit for her voice! And for Judy, she is not a part of this! - she is in a category for herself!!!
I agree. I like Lorna. She seems like a nice person, but her voice is thinner than either Judy or Liza. Judy and Liza are in a class of their own in terms of robust belting power without sounding shrill. (Not that Lorna sounds shrill, but a lot of less talented Broadway belters do sound shrill rather than robust.) Anyway, thanks for posting. I had not heard this.
@DeanGalen okay i really don't understand why it is that i'm not allowed to have an opinion on the topic but since you have so righteously gone after everything about my -opinion-, i can tell you that listening to liza minnelli now is not the same as listening to liza minnelli twenty years ago... ddespite what health problems contributed to her vocal deterioration; she doesn't have the voice she used to have, but she's still a marvelous entertainer when singing more stripped-down arrangements
Lorna Luft is attractive and has a Sensational singing voice far better than Liza Minnelli so it's hard to figure out why Liza Minnelli became such a big star
Lorna had a peculiar career. She was a powerhouse on this song. Strangely despite this and other stellar performances she never really hit it big in terms of stardom. There were no record contracts. No recording career. It was strange. There were no starring roles in Broadway shows. I don't understand it.

Both daughters inherited their mother enormous talents
This wonderful singer should have been a major star!! Everyone should know Lorna Luft!!!
True. I've just seen her for the first time. What a great singer! Phantastic voice.
Could everyone stop comparing Judy and her daughters!

I agree
100% respect to Lorna Luft on this performance. I am not familiar with Luft's work but she sang this rendition with such powerful emotion and hit and held the high notes = AWESOME.
Not sure if you know - she is Judy Garland's daughter. God bless you, love
@@lvelez1999 She sounds just like her mother.
I see her sister's and mother's mannerisms in her. All three, of course, were blessed with amazing pipes!
Exactly!
Lorna like Liza has shades of their famous mother.......I love Lornas voice for its purity.Lorna isn't over the top,and quite frankly I like that!
Only just started singing this myself but ive got to say Lorna does one hell of a job
Lorna is fine talent in her own right. I'm surprised she isn't more famous.
Lorna is magnificent and Sammy & Mama would be blown away with this incredibly great performance...Bravo Lorna, you are one of the all-time greatest!
What Talent. Wonderful Voice. As big n bold as her Heart.
I love how both Liza and Lorna perform just like their mother, Judy Garland. It's almost as if they do the hand movements that Judy did when performing to be powerful and leave the viewer with a sense of wonder and respect to the both of them (sorry, if that sounds confusing).

Her vibrato on that last note was TOTALLY Judy. Genetics are insane.
Judy Garland was a very special performer(actress,dancer, lovely voice), as well her dotters Lisa Minnelli and Lorna Luft.I loved each of them.
Wonderfully sung! So much genuine emotion and skilled musicality
Wow!..what a voice
Seeing her tomorrow, at Cafe Zedel London
Can't wait!
Beautiful voice, like mother like daughter:)
Liz would be so proud of her girls. Who knew Lorna had such a fantastic voice (just like her big sister) & a soprano & alto voice at that!
Sorry. I meant Ms. Judy Garland.
I think it would be difficult to grow up as Liza being compared in everything you do to your mother. Then Imagine being Lorna and being compared to not only your mother but your big sister as well! And have the guts to still go out there and sing. I have to give it to them! They are both very talented women!
Wwooowww! Whatta voice!! Fantastic and how lovely she is?
I love the way she does this song :)
Lorna Luft a STAR........enough said
She is fantastic!
Great singer and lady!
Lorna is dynamic! I never knew of her talent
in 1969. It was UA-cam that opened up knowledge
that was difficult to learn before the internet.
I was at this concert and it was fabulous! Not only did Liza and Lorna perform but it had a host of stars like Charles Aznavour, Tom Jones, Jerry Lewis, Donald O'Connor. Great memories
Que afortunado
I was there that night & Lorna was the best singer out of the whole cast!!!! Luv ya Lorna! xxx
Marvellous.
Sensational
I didn't realize she was so close to Sammy Davis Jr., but man, with that voice, there ain't no doubt she's Judy Garland's daughter! "Wow!"
Lorna Luft, you just being you in this song is fabulous. That last note was...Wow!
Lorna is awesome & sings "I've Gotta To Be Me" with passion and vocal brilliance that is the hallmark of her amazing family...Bravo Lorna!!!
She is excellent here, a very good singer. That last note---wow. The comparisons between siblings and parent and children are stupid.
Each time I hear to one of my favorite songs and performed by the unique Lorna, I cry. Because if you are not sure to be yourself, you just gotta listen to this. Pure magic, pure music... pure Art.
EXCELLENT
Wonderfully amazing. I love this song. X

she has a lovely voice ......perhaps not as dramatic as her mother & sister -- both tough acts to follow -- but nonetheless excellent in her own right
Great song
Lorna Liza Judy were awesome singers !
One word…FAB!…
Great Lorna!
Great voice...like her mom and Liza.
Barely know anything about Lorna and have never seen her perform. This was awesome! She's very attractive! Love the red hair and the dress.
Beautiful!
AMAZING!!!!!!
AWESOME & RESPECT!
Awesomeness!
Her speaking voice sounds just like Liza. She sings beautifully.
Wonderful performance from the lovely Lorna Lift.
Miles Foggon Never heard Lorna Luft before. She has a great voice. What a tribute to her friend Sammy Davis Jr.
I agree lornafanuk, Lorna was the best singer that night. I was disappointed she only she got to sing one song. I also loved Tom Jones singing Mr Bojangles
legend
Fab..she was great at the `Nags Head` last sunday.
I love her vibrato!
Sammy... a great human being.
THANKS
Beautiful..
Amen!!!
Her voice has the same cadence as Liza's.
This is amazing, listened to song today on a program and i herd it differently, reflex my last 30 months, so i have just watched the great 'sir' Sammy Davis jr about 20 times, then seen this video, ' proves we maybe alone in our journeys, but not alone in our commitment to be 'me or you', I have gotta be free, i just gotta be free, daring to try, to do it or die, 'I gotta be me'.

I can hear Judy just wow
what a singer! what a voice! I think she has a contralto voice but you can see where she got it from! as Judy garland was brilliant. Where has all the talent gone/ i mean that is showbiz as i remember growing up and seeing these kind of shows on TV but today it just isnt the same any more
Lorna and Liza like thier Mom Judy are great singers and both are funny like thier Mother.
Incroyable ❤️❤️❤️
Judy was the face and THE voice. Liza is an entertainer; not the face, not the voice of her mom, but so darned entertaining, and she is my favorite. Lorna ... she got overlooked.
Lorna can sing for sure & has a lovely sound, but my LiZa captivates me & i'm transfixed by her
Wow loved this.
Australian here.
MARAVILLOSA
Oh, wow!! You managed to upload it - thank you SO much...it's my absolute favourite!! Definitely a five-star rating...and I've added it to my faves, too. THANK YOU!!!!
Amazing how they developed into their own.
Ohh Wowwww
I think Lorna has the better technical voice.. which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but doesn't have quite the "wow" or "star" factor of Judy or Liza.

JUDY. JUDY. JUDY ... AND LIZA
And Lorna
STOP STOP LIZA IS WONDERFUL AND LORNA IS ALSO WONDERFUL JUDY WAS WELL JUDY. LIZA HAS WON EVERY AWARD KNOW TO MAN AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SAY LIZA IS DONE WELL SHE JUST WON HER 4TH TONY IN 2009.
Maravilhosa
Well said.
Brava!!!!
Great! Thank you for uploading!
Lorna was damn good, but hit a glass ceiling somehow. Eventually, she gave up and became a Judy imitator and Judy historian.
So like her mum in both voice and actions. :)
Pretty good version Lorna,
Oh no I don't mean Liza and Judy didn't had powerful voices! I just believe that Lorna's voice is "bigger" and Liza's voice has more an edge - And I love that! I sincerely hope you know i am not slamming Liza down, I love Liza, it's just what I feel :)
She has a Ethel Merman-like sound about her singing.
I agree
I was prepared to hate this version. I loved it.
I knew you would be happy!
BRAVO, BRAVO, LORNA!! NO COMPARISONS. LOVE AND GREAT RESPECT!!!
I think that Lorna would have been more successful if she was not Judy Garland's daughter & Liza's half sister; she always had that shadow of comparison blighting her career. She had the talent of her own.

Shes lovely but different from her Mom and Sister I'd have no idea they were related if not told.
was she Paulette from grease 2 !!?
Yes.
Oh wow I didn't know that
That's cool. Paulette from Grease 2. I didn't know that.
En estos tiempos si no eres tú,,, valió el vivir?
Stop fighting, boys.... You're talking about the girl who grew up in Sammy Davis house... . My God...
I think that Lorna has a more powerful and "bigger" so to speak voice, than Liza has..

Judy was awesome at singing but so is Lorna and Liza are too !

Well, I guess if somebody's got to be Lorna Luft, it might as well be her.

No recording career. It was strange. There were no starring roles in Broadway shows. I don't understand it.
Hollywood has a weird “there can only be one” rule.
