- Judy Garland sings Dory and Andre Previn's I'll Plant My Own Tree from Valley Of The Dolls. Have bits and pieces of this session in TJGE vaults, found this bit on a portable hard drive and it was labeled "Planting Trees 1". There are some session sounds before the start on the raw recording but I can't really tell if this is the first take or the mix that was used for the final test recording. Either way, I've made it sound a bit different by adding some bottom to the recording. Can't tell if it's better or just different. Hope you guys like it. I've posted elsewhere on UA-cam Judy's interview about why she left the film, as well as a snippet of Judy's a cappella version of the song.

I knew about the drama of Judy and this movie and the parallels of Judy and the Neely O'Hara character. I remember watching Susan Hayward lipsync for her life to Margaret Whiting's version of this song and thinking, 'I wonder how Judy would do this song....' Well, thank you for answering that question. Miss Garland took this silly camp bit of fluff and made it her own statement. She grabs you by the lapels and makes you listen. I can never multitask with Judy. I simply have to stop and listen. And it's always a pleasure. It was the same with this song. Sorry, Margaret. Judy wins this one.
I agree wholeheartedly, neither can I multitask whilst listening to Judy sing any song. She was never one of the pedestrian “easy listening” singers. She demands your attention but always rewards you for doing so.
I gave up years ago trying to do anything else while I’m listening to Judy Garland! Such a joy to listen to her!
Only Judy Garland could sing this convoluted song written by Dory and Andre Previn.. Nobody else could !!!
Judy is just tossing this off like the dumb little ditty that it is and yet she's still making it sensational, as it was supposed to be in the plot of the movie. One of the things that makes the movie campy is that the Hayward/Whiting version in the movie is totally NOT sensational and an audience of extras has to pretend it is.
the great thing about Judy is her commitment to her material. she gave it her all so no matter how stupid the lyrics and boy are they bad - she makes you feel the sentiment beyond the clunky words.
Despite all the problems around her work in this movie, ending in her being fired, Judy is in strong, R.I.P. top voice here. She always put so much of herself into her work.
A great example of how she could make anything sound good.
Judy sounds first rate and was at the very top of her form! This just shows that with the proper equalization, reverb and pitch control as was used in all of her recordings, she was still very first rate and was not washed up and her voice was not now only just a memory. Her voice here sounds almost as great as when she sang on her TV series! Buzz, you have done another one of your miracles for the world to enjoy. This makes me sad when I hear how great she sounds here because it proves and shows just how great she actually would have been in the movie.🤔😢🤗💌
The incomparable Garland does it again! Simply sensational!
Thank you, again! In an alternate reality, it would have been fascinating to see Judy finish this role, and have Liza play the Patty Duke character. Neither would need stunt singers to sing for them. 🙂
Copy that. This would have worked with MIss Garland.
There is no one like Judy, simply, the BEST!
I agree with Mandeley100, the amazing Judy can spin gold out of straw. She sounds wonderful here, and she looks very elegant even though she couldn’t have weighed more than 85 pounds! You do amazing things, Buzz! Thank you again!
Yeah Judy!! You've turned shit into go!d yet again!! I actually have a recording of this on an album of outtakes with so much noise in it. This version and her voice are crystal clear. Sounds great!
Wow. That's quite a rebirth to this infamous recording. She sounds great. It's not the melody that is so awful, it's those lyrics. You have to wonder who was it that said: "For Helen's big number, we need a song about a tree. That's it. A tree." Oh dear Previns. "It's my yard, so I will try hard..." LMAO.
What a great artifact this would have been had it been filmed.
I have a feeling Judy’s tree grows very well. :)
I love Valley Of The Dolls, but can just imagine what it would have been like with Judy in the Helen Lawson role and belting out her own songs. I'll bet there would have been more of them.
Wonderful remix!! Hindsight makes me wonder what magical experiences the world missed not seeing Judy as Helen Lawson or Annie Oakley .
I’ve thought that about so many musicals from her time. I’ve read that she was the first choice for so many movies that she didn’t have the time or health to do. Can’t help but wonder what those movies would have been like with her as the star. And what a shame she wasn’t able to do the one Broadway musical that she wanted to do so badly - Mame.
The film version of "Annie Get Your Gun" is mostly forgotten.
The only reason anyone ever talks about it, is the fact that Judy was fired from the picture.
I always wonder whose bright idea it was to have Busby Berkley direct the film.
From.listening to Judy sing the Annie Get Your Gun score, I know she would have been great.
@@Jeffreym36 When Judy and Berkley got along like chalk and cheese. He was simply mean to some of the people he worked with.
One word - WOW !!!
The ultimate performer.
Judy's talent is the eternal gift that keeps on giving.
It's not the greatest song ever written but if anyone can spin gold out of straw it's Judy! She certainly would have been more convincing as an electrifying Broadway star than Susan Hayward and Margaret Whiting did. And she wouldn't have needed that psychedelic mobile that Miss Hayward rather cagily had to negotiate!!!
Your comment was perfect!!
like the way she hits and holds that high note at the end. Nobody could finish a song like she could, right to her own finish. Sinatra is the only one I can think of.
Garland was a Great Artist.. But, Margaret Whiting sang it Best.
Susan Hayward was a Magnificent Actress.
The dubbing was perfect
...true with your comment on the song. The lyrics are silly, and the melody is a patchwork of other song highpoints. Still, hearing Judy Garland sing it...THAT voice, brings credibility. Yes, while Susan Hayward IS a actress of high merit in her own right, she did/does, not seem to be able to fit the glove of the Broadway star (though i do enjoy her scenes w/Patty Duke removing Susans wig). Hey, lighten up about the HUGE mobile. I find its dated distracting presence adding to the movie's visual extremes of the era.
Margaret Whiting was probably a little better here technically, but that's all! Judy Garland makes this song become alive with all her dramatic, heartfelt feelings that Whiting was incapable of. 🤔🤗 @@johnflynn9619
Very nicely done remix! 👍🏾🎶
This sounds fantastic! Thank you!
It sounds really good, Buzz!
Como siempre, llena de fuerza vital y pasion: Judy, la musica y su letra son "UNA" sola. Lastima que no le dieron el papel a Judy... Sim embargo nadie fue capaz de cantar la pelicula como Judy...!!! Como siempre, y desde Argentina, muchas gracias querido señor Buzz y que Dios le pague y bendiga!!!
Muito feliz que tenha gostado da gravação. Obrigado pelas suas palavras gentis.
Thank you so much. This made my day. Sure the song is a little corny . . . perhaps it was intentionally pastiche, who knows? But the performance . . . out of this world! I'd buy tickets for that show, no matter what it was about!
I love how in later years of her singing career she seemed to be associated with a rythm of bongos in her tunes! Even in the parody of her playing Mary Poppins they picked up on that detail!
Garland should have gotten this part!! Heyward couldn't sing but she played a bitch to a tee!! Great flick and all hearts should go out to Sharon Tate.😥💖
lpve this
She hated the song but she sure made it work.
Can you believe they actually fired her from the film? The Garland Hex or the Hex on Garland!!
She wasn't doing her job, refusing to come out of her dressing room!
@@waynehentley4332 I bet you say that to all the girls. They said it about Marilyn Monroe. The subversion of Judy Garland is a story in itself. Rod McKuen asks the question in an interview? The conspiracy against `Judy Garland`. Her kids know it. Course at the time they probably just accepted. I know we did. My father was Blacklisted. We accepted it. He was unwanted, unloved. I am Blacklisted. I do not accept it. I query it.
This song has the strangest lyrics. I don't know what Dory Previn was thinking. According to the book Helen Lawson opened in a Broadway musical called "Hit the Sky". " If Helen's show was about "Arbor Day" the "I'll Plant My Own Tree "lyrics would have been perfect. Otherwise, forget it.
And the Previns did such a great job for the film with Natalie Wood called "inside Daisy clover"! They wrote their best song "you're gonna hear from me"! Now why couldn't they have written something like that for Judy? 🤔 This song would have been worthy of her talents!😳 However, she makes this song sound great! Like you said, if the words had been different, the melody would probably have been okay.
.
I read that Judy hated the song.
I agree that it's lousy.
The song was a Show Stopper.
I actually like Whiting’s voice better with the song
Worst song of her career. Sounds trashy, trying desperately not to be; rather like the movie. Lucky escape & glad she stole the wardrobe!
She didn't steal the wardrobe, that is just an ugly decades old rumor that some people feel the need to perpetuate. The truth is it was written into Judy's contract that if she left the film she would receive half her salary plus her screen wardrobe.it's a matter of historical record.
@@BuzzStephens1 Fair enough. No expert. Had just watched Patti Duke at The Castro where I got the idea. Kinda wished she had though based on how director apparently treated her.
