Garland was one of the few singers who had the pipes to out sing a jazz orchestra playing fortissimo. No instrumentalist ever had to worry about drowning her out!
Her ‘Specials’ were enormously successful, but then her show failed. She said, ‘Nobody can beat those Cowboys!’, and then-they never brought the specials back. Sad. Like everything else about the way ‘they’ did things. I don’t care for Rainbow so much as other songs, but with Judy--I would’ve liked to hear her had she been able to collaborate with black artistry.
Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall is off the chart incredible, said by some to be the best performance in history. You can certainly feel the love of the audience coming through. Incredible.
@@kstephen7625 Well now that's a teensy bit debatable...Barbra (spelled like that) is a phenomenon; and so is Judy. One's personal preferences come to play here, and that's perfectly all right.
Sammy Davis Junior said of Judy Garland, “She was the world’s first ☝🏾‘Superstar’.” On TCM everyone loved her, one actress saw them taking her food away, after an eight hour work day on a Christmas Parade. Norm Jewison said that she had ‘Frick and Frack’, Margaret O’Brien adored her, and they called her ‘the. funniest. woman. in. Hollywood.” Her Oscar should have been FULL sized.❤️
Clearly, you know much more than being a rock guitarist. You show a level of knowledge like an audio recording engineer or scientist. Thank you for the thoughtful appreciation and admiration for Judy Garland, one of the all time great singers.
Her version of " Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas " is exceptional. Haunting and emotional. Listen to that song! How can you beat Dorothy on ""The Wizard of Oz?".
This young man captured the very essence of Judy Garland which sustained her throughout of all of her life.... The very essence of her art 🎨.... Thank you the wings of Pegasus for posting this... Love you and love Judy Garland!!!!!!
Judy Garland never disappoints. She has a delivery that astounds anyone who heard or saw her perform. You cannot stop her emotions affecting yourself; smiling or crying. Thank you.
Christina Crawford, the one who wrote Mommy Dearest about Joan Crawford, wrote that, as a child, she was always in *awe* of watching Judy in black pants, capris, with a blouse, out with her kids, riding around the neighborhood on bicycles. A natural Mom.
I am an Artist (painter) and I have been called a "natural" talent. I understand this is meant as a compliment and am always grateful for any recognition. However, the "natural" as I see and feel it is the love of what you're doing and the training, time, work and commitment you put into your art. I know from many books and documentaries Judy worked her tail off most of her life. What is truly wonderful is watching Judy and her joy that comes through all of her performances.
dluca--would you agree that true virtuosity/greatness in any art form is the combination of "natural gifts" combined with discipline, dedication, and hard work/practice? Your thoughts are welcome!
There is a line in the Wizard of OZ that Judy begins speaking and finishes singing: "If the wizard is a wizard who will serve.." "Who will serve" is sung with that controlled, throbbing vibrato that Mr. Pegasus is talking about in this video. I've always been fascinated by her singing of that brief three word phrase, and now I know why - what a genius she was! And kudos to Mr. P - fascinating analysis.
There will never be another another Judy Garland! ❤️ So sad how she left us! 😢 Her voice will live on forever! My mom looked just like Judy and was often mistaken for Judy back in the 60's! I wish I could post my moms picture here. My daughter also looks a lot like Judy Garland! God Bless Judy, we'll never forget you! ❤️😘🇺🇸❤😢
Thank you for noting that her speaking and singing voice is the same-because recently there was yet-another-movie-made ‘about’ her, and we always land on that word. Her voice.❤️
LOVED this Fil! Judy Judy Judy! Only the most FABULOUS woman to ever grace this earth with her HEAVENLY voice! She sang like she had balls...seriously, her powerful vocals could blow even Sinatra away! Love her more than words can express. How about this: there's Judy...and then there's everyone else! I truly think that some people are so brilliant that they're in a league all their own, and Judy was definitely one of those people. Fantastic analysis, so enjoyed it...thanks so much Fil!
Judy had duende, a swagger. She knew her talent was other-worldly. We react to her voice as recipients of the sound; imagine what that voice emanating from inside you felt like. Judy is perfection in human form. Stunning.
She's magnificent. I was lucky to hear& see Rufus Wainwright perform her entire legendary Carnegie Hall concert note for note in an old crumbly power station on the Toronto waterfront!
When she sang, she was telling you (us) a story, and as we listened, we went along for the ride. A great entertainer can emote feelings we all understand, and with a voice like that, well, they just don't make'm like that anymore. Great analysis Mr. Fil 🤘☮️♥️
Great memories. I can still remember Judy singing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" to a tearful Margaret O'Brien in "Meet Me In St. Louis" (1944). Thanks Judy (and Margaret).
I never realised when I was very young how troubled Judy was. She was such a talent and I’ve always been a fan.😕 I loved watching her and Mickey Rooney together in their movies. They were both so young and natural together. One of my favourite videos of Judy is of her singing and dancing to ‘Get Happy’. Also, being a Darin fan, I love the duets of the two together. Have you seen them Fil? She was legendary❤️
So effortless. Another example of true talent commanding the stage. No theatrics, no “circus” acts going on in the background, and not having to “sell” her body to take the attention away from the vocals. Thanks Fil!!!!!
Thanks Fil. What a natural talent. I can’t see her without always thinking how the studios treated her, kept her on her drugs so that she could work longer hours often finishing at 5 am in the morning. They practically starved her in Wizard of Oz so that she could appear thin. Being tiny, any additional weight, even if she was underweight, apparently showed on film. She became addicted to pills at 15. Then there was the harassment and the unsuitable marriages. She has admitted that her life was hard. Poor woman died of an overdose at 47 yrs.
I just discovered your channel and I'm enjoying it so much. I'm a 67 year old female and feel so blessed to have grown up in the musical era of the fifties, sixties and seventies. Also my parents were from the WWII generation so I have a love for big band music. Thank you for doing an analysis of Judy Garland. She's my absolute favorite. In fact, I love her so much that I named my palomino Judy Garland. Thank you again.
It's not just that voice it is that magical stage presence that could hold an audience in the palm of her hand. My dad traveled by train to NYC to hear her in person.
When she was at her peak, such as in the movie, "Meet Me in St Louis" and "Easter Parade" and all the songs she sang, there was no one better, in my opinion. She had it all. In the movie, "A Star Is Born" she sings, "The Man That Got Away" and you can't take your eyes off of her. She's marvelous.
As a devoted Judy fan for over 40 years, the enjoyment I derive from your videos is immense! Judy is a vocal prodigy, an acrobat, an athlete. Having great songs to sing, and brilliant arrangements certainly helps, but so many conductors and musicians 'in the biz' marveled at her acumen both vocally and lyrically to interpret songs which communicated directly to audiences. Judy never faked it; she knew the essence of every song, and channeled its story immaculately. I believe her performances of songs are the definitive version, and, having listened to her repeatedly over the years, I can imagine to some degree how she would perform contemporary songs. Judy's style is unique to her--no one else can do what she does; her style is timeless, as greatness always is.
Thank you for this vidio. Judy's voice is scary and dangerous. Other singers can make you cry,She's the only singer that could rip your hart out and throw you down a cliff. Her voice was senscer ,natural,real,personal and it feels She's singing only to you. A true gift from God was judy.
I've loved Judy's voice since I was a kid, but your analysis brings my appreciation to a totally different level. So much info. Your comment about how she uses her hand at the end of the song - finger points up as the voice climbs and then the hand opens as her voice does - fascinating. Many thanks.
I love listening to Judy Garland and her daughter Liza. I saw Wonderful Judy for the first time in "Meet me in St. Louis " Musical. Next was "The Wisard of Oz" & "Cabaret". THEY both didn 't have a life of roses. Mother & Daughter are AMAZING. I wish I could sing like THEM. Thanks FIL .
Judy Garland Fil, Live at The Palace in NYC, what a show in the recording. Men in black tie and women in gowns just tears running down their faces...incomparable.
She ACTUALLY DOES NOT have control of this gift, she never had. It embarrassed her cuz she coodnt sing like the 'other singers'. Bummer, that she was an ICONIC VOICE like NO OTHER!
This was her show that I watched when she introduced Barbara Streisand on. Judy Garland is in class of her own. Beautiful, beautiful singer. And such a great actress. Your knowledge is absolutely spot on! Thank. Fil
@@TheBarkinFrogwell today's popular singers don't sing as well as popular singers of the 1940s- 1960s. Rock, rap and hip hop has mediocre singers and I'm a huge rock fan.
@@Redwhiteblue-gr5em Yes. We all know. For some strange reason nature, God, karma, whatever stop making great voices in 1950 and not another person born since then can sing their way out of a paper bag. You might be a huge rock fan, but you're also an uneducated snob.
Very interesting analysis. You're absolutely correct. That is why we were so enamored with her---the connection in her speaking and singing voice. She was one of my favorites back in the day. So emotional, you believed every word. Amazing singer
Judy my #1 favorite since my teens when "The Judy Garland Show" broadcast never missed a moment, have both DVD Box Sets filled with definitive performances of many classic songs, love seeing a young musician "get it" what her talent is all about, like so many of us can tell when watching he truly appreciating her phenomenal talent, have a feeling like me he will be a fan for life!
Judy would appreciate your comment according to the well researched biography Get happy by Gerald Clarke she sometimes found it challenging to control her vibrato. Judy fantastic singer. Great insight into her technique.
Whoo hoo...have been waiting for you to do Judy....wanted to hear her voice through your ears. You never fail to educate and I always listen with a new appreciation after you have highlighted points in the voice that slipped by my untuned ears, thanks Fil.
Judy was a Leslie speaker. A Doppler effect. Fil is spot on about the wavering frequency. Her renditions are dry and on top of the beat. Then the Vibrato. Perfect singer for a piano accompanist. I learned I Got Rhythm by playing along to an early Judy Garland video. Judy was the girl next door. An Angel.
The hand gesture insight on Judy's vocals is uncanny. Just wow! I got the chills listening to this performance 60 years on the same as if I were seated front and center back in 1962. In Psalms or Proverbs it says, "The Lord inhabits the praises of His people." Judy inhabits her songs with a mortal immortality. Cheers!
She's got such a beautiful, voice that has it's own great "flavour". I can't imagine being so talented. I love her "Old man river" from her tv show. Just great.
You used the word "animated", and well put . . . She seemed a creation an animator might come up with to show what "performance" could look/sound like if inventing a character. I've always felt, watching/listening to her, as though there was a tightrope she was balanced on, but could not just walk it, had to up the (performance) game. Great analysis, as always. Thank you.
Judy Garland will always be my favourite singer she is so expressive and unique . I am so impressed that you are analyzing such classic greats like judy garland.
Thanks, Fil. She was and still is a legend. When she sang, she had you right there with her emotionally. You weren't going anywhere else until she let you go. I especially liked you pointing out how her speaking and singing voice were basically the same., and how that added immensely to a sense of intimacy with the audience. She was a total package: natural talent, superb control of her voice, emotional vulnerability, incredibly expressive hands. She was the real thing and totally unique.
I was, I am, and will always be a friend of Dorothy. There are a few performers that transcend time and culture. Judy is one of them. I watched Wizard of Oz last night again for the what seems like 1,000th time, but it NEVER GETS OLD. And Fil, spot on comment, she talks exactly like she sings and vice versa, never thought about it, but you are absolutely right.

Wonderful Explanation of Judy's incredible voice and talent! A truly once in a century talent!!
I love watching your reactions to singers…when you smile it’s so genuine 😉
Look up Reeve Carney's cover of "Over the Rainbow". The guy has damn near the combined range of Judy Garland and Jeff Buckley
Garland was one of the few singers who had the pipes to out sing a jazz orchestra playing fortissimo. No instrumentalist ever had to worry about drowning her out!
You got that right!😊
I imagine that 200 years from now....500 years from now..."Somewhere Over the Rainbow" will still be a classic.
And WAP won't
Check out Bowie's " there's a Starman waiting in the sky", direct from Somewhere over the rainbow.
1000 years from now.
It already is a classic!
Her ‘Specials’ were enormously successful, but then her show failed. She said, ‘Nobody can beat those Cowboys!’, and then-they never brought the specials back. Sad. Like everything else about the way ‘they’ did things. I don’t care for Rainbow so much as other songs, but with Judy--I would’ve liked to hear her had she been able to collaborate with black artistry.
Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall is off the chart incredible, said by some to be the best performance in history. You can certainly feel the love of the audience coming through. Incredible.
In my opinion it is the best live recording followed decades later by Marianne Faithful
Judy was always, *always* amazing, but she *really* came to life with an audience!
I would have any singer (usually those who think they can sing) listen to Judy at Carnegie. Now that is a star LIVE like no other PERIOD.
So you want to sing live, listen to this album. No one can come close, not even Barbara.
@@kstephen7625 Well now that's a teensy bit debatable...Barbra (spelled like that) is a phenomenon; and so is Judy. One's personal preferences come to play here, and that's perfectly all right.
There will never be another Judy. She was a true superstar.
Well damm! Fil thought I was a metalhead turns out I like Judy Garland 💜
Explore all kinds of music! You'll be happy you did.
Like me and Disturbed after hearing their version of Sounds of Silence.
Some things are transcendant😉
I like that you do every type of music

Thank you, Fil. Beautiful voice. Criminal how she was manipulated by the studios.
So agree.
Judy Garland never disappoints. She has a delivery that astounds anyone who heard or saw her perform. You cannot stop her emotions affecting yourself; smiling or crying. Thank you.
Unbelievable voice, her dress, stage presence and the set is out of this world.
Her dynamics kills me. Makes me want to cry
A perfect singer, a perfect performer, and a perfect analyses. Keep them coming.
What a classic performance. She is an icon. I could watch the Wizard of Oz 100 times and never tire of it because of Judy Garland.
JUDT CAME FIRST!
She just throws emotions all over the place and trips into your heart. What a master.
When I was 17, I knew her daughters, son and Judy for about 3 months. They were all wonderful. Thanks for this.
That’s great!
You’re so lucky to have traveled in Judy’s orbit.
@@lc6067 Absolutely. Its like a dream.
Christina Crawford, the one who wrote Mommy Dearest about Joan Crawford, wrote that, as a child, she was always in *awe* of watching Judy in black pants, capris, with a blouse, out with her kids, riding around the neighborhood on bicycles. A natural Mom.

There are so many incredible songs from that short lived series, One of my favourites is, When The Sun Comes Up.
There is a line in the Wizard of OZ that Judy begins speaking and finishes singing: "If the wizard is a wizard who will serve.."

What a voice!
Judy becomes the song, and pours it into your soul ! Thank you for sharing! So great!
She would put her whole heart into every performance.
There will never be another another Judy Garland! ❤️ So sad how she left us! 😢 Her voice will live on forever! My mom looked just like Judy and was often mistaken for Judy back in the 60's!

Like Bing Crosby
I love Judy but I enjoy watching you watching her more!
😂
Me too!!!
My favorite singer next to Ella. I can still hear my mom screaming in the audience at Carnegie Hall. This woman went through SO MUCH. I love her so.
LOVED this Fil! Judy Judy Judy! Only the most FABULOUS woman to ever grace this earth with her HEAVENLY voice!

Thank you for doing this, Fil. I am 70 but I still get choked up watching and listening to her.
Thank you I'm a die hard Judy Fan anything you can point out about Judy I appreciate it
But also Barbara and Julie. Also oldies
Judy was one of the best ever. I wish the studio bosses had let her be
Louis B. Mayer is in hell for drugging her as a child, and her rapacious parents for allowing it.
She's magnificent.
I was lucky to hear& see Rufus Wainwright perform her entire legendary Carnegie Hall concert note for note in an old crumbly power station on the Toronto waterfront!
you are so lucky!! I have his Judy concert on Vinyl. Not the same as being there of course :)
@@sarahlynch7279 it truly was a treat. The atmosphere was a lot of fun, (however NOT very Carnegie Hall)! 🤷🏼♀️🙂

The ULTIMATE Entertainer of All Time. ❤

What a doll !
What a dame❤️
She was spectacular 💜
You are correct👍😍
Thank you Fil , finally someone who sees Judy and understands her brilliance

All the great talents make it look easy. Figure skating, try doing a triple axel. They come out of it like it’s nothing.
Thanks Fil. What a natural talent.

In Pop music, only Judy and Frank will be forever remembered! Thanks for doing Judy!😎😎
Amazing singer. There will never be anyone like her. Love u Judy !!!
Thank you Mr. Fil for doing Judy..... she was old time great, I have several of her albums and enjoy listening to her from time to time.

thank you for sharing this amazing performance. No auto tune in those days, just a mike and a lot of talent to sing and entertain.
Thank you for your insight on Judy Garland!
She was the most talented performer that ever lived.
Her talent is universal.
Your commentary is spot on!
Thanks!
Whoo hoo...have been waiting for you to do Judy....wanted to hear her voice through your ears. You never fail to educate and I always listen with a new appreciation after you have highlighted points in the voice that slipped by my untuned ears, thanks Fil.
What a true joy to watch such a talent
Watching Judy sing just gives me everything I need! Amazing!
She will always be..a terrific singer...Amen..have a wonderful night fil Henley. TY much for your videos
Over the Rainbow, from 1939 will definitely stand the test of time. An all time classic.
I love Judy Garland 🎶
Judy was a Leslie speaker.
A Doppler effect.
Fil is spot on about the wavering frequency.
Her renditions are dry and on top of the beat. Then the Vibrato.
Perfect singer for a piano accompanist.
I learned I Got Rhythm by playing along to an early Judy Garland video.
Judy was the girl next door.
An Angel.

Judy is a joy to watch and listen to; and so are you Fil. Thank you for making me smile.
One of my favs ftom the past🌹🌹🌹
She's got such a beautiful, voice that has it's own great "flavour". I can't imagine being so talented. I love her "Old man river" from her tv show. Just great.
Wow! She makes it look effortless.
Excellent! Thank you so very much!
Splendid! Both the performance and the analysis were so wonderful...I got entranced. Thanks, Fil.
One of your most enjoyable videos....and I'm not even a Judy Garland fan. Great job with the video!
Thanks!
fabulous!
You used the word "animated", and well put . . . She seemed a creation an animator might come up with to show what "performance" could look/sound like if inventing a character. I've always felt, watching/listening to her, as though there was a tightrope she was balanced on, but could not just walk it, had to up the (performance) game. Great analysis, as always. Thank you.
Judy Garland will always be my favourite singer she is so expressive and unique . I am so impressed that you are analyzing such classic greats like judy garland.
I really appreciated this, Phil!!! Thank you so much for putting it up and all of your analyses☺🤹♀️

I was, I am, and will always be a friend of Dorothy. There are a few performers that transcend time and culture. Judy is one of them. I watched Wizard of Oz last night again for the what seems like 1,000th time, but it NEVER GETS OLD. And Fil, spot on comment, she talks exactly like she sings and vice versa, never thought about it, but you are absolutely right.

Judy Garland was the female Al Jolson of her day - no one sang like her or worked an audience half as well.
