Gosh this is painful to watch. Poor love I just want to take her home and love her and feed her! She's on her last legs here and yet she still has more talent and star quality in the tip of her little finger than most of today's 'stars' do in their prime. They broke the mould when they made Judy they really did.
Few artist are still admired 53 years after they've gone. The Greats, Chaplin, Cagney, Ella, and Judy. Nobody has come near to her, really, they may sing fantastic like Whitney and others......but no-one, NO-ONE, connects with and audience on Every Song...like, Judy could. We still miss you..and we know...You did it All for Us. I'm humbled...
Fred Herrman yes. It was her last trip to London and she performed at The Talk Of The Town In Leicester Square. My father went to see her and was appalled because she was late in appearing and the audience got angry and started throwing things at her. She really wasn’t well.
Pink Ladyluck Judy came to London in January 1969 for Talk Of The Town concerts. She and Micky Deans lived at 4 Cadogen Lane in Chelsea until her death in June. She only left once to perform concerts in Denmark in March after which she returned back to London and died.
I was Born in the early 80's. When I saw the wizard of Oz for the 1st time I became a Judy Garland fan. She was amazing! A voice of Gold that has gone very soon.
She will forever be ICONIC! I’m introducing Judy to my tween daughter (she’s really going through it) and no one inspires, and relates like Judy ❤ her voice transcends through generations.
I'd never see this before... I was really worried when she started to sing.... her voice :( but despite the deterioration of her voice she still completely held the song and felt every note she created with her wonderful gift
As hard as it is to believe her voice got even better as she got older. Just beautiful. We ❤️ you Mrs. Garland. Rest in peace. Somewhere over the rainbow
I LOVE JUDY!!! She's been my favorite singer since I was 12 years old. I'm 61 now!!!!! Almost 50 years!!! I think she looks very good. She went downhill fast in the last 6 months of her life. Pictures and film of her AFTER this she looked very bad and old. I'm so surprised her appearance changed so much in 6 months.
She looks completely different here than in a another appearance 4 months prior. But, she always did have a different look and different way of talking in almost every interview and appearance, and then you add to that up and down weight. Almost looks like different people playing “ Judy”, especially throughout the 60s.
Like most of us, I loved watching The Wizard of Oz when I was young, back when it aired only once a year. I especially, and to this day, loved hearing her sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Then, still as a young boy, I saw her perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. Even at my age I could see that she was clearly out of it. She was strangely swaying about and slurring the words to the song. I remember asking my dad if she was drunk and he laughingly replied "No... She's just acting that way. She always acts that way." I realized better though. So heartbreaking. Rest In Paradise Judy Garland...
I’d have waited too, had I been aware of it. We live in astonishing times, for good and bad. It’s amazing to see her in new footage, and so full of life despite everything.
The poor darling, she had to keep putting herself out there. By 1968 for gods sake, she should have had enough money to never sing another note. She had only about 6 month's to live.
Unfortunately by the mid-sixties she was essentially flat-broke. After years of poor financial decisions and being swindled out of her wealth by shady lawyers and investors, she was literally living in hotel rooms and selling her belongings to avoid repossession.
In 1968 she owed 1/2 $million. She was penniless and living in a friend's parent's apartment. She's been in debt to the IRS for at least a dozen years. He previous husband was a serious gambler.
@@davidmdyer838 If I'm not mistaken, that "friend", whose parent's apartment she stayed at, was Jonnhy Meyers, the comoser of the song in this very video.
It is great that this video survived but it is a real drag to think of the video that was lost from the Tonight Show just to save pennies. Lennon & McCartney were on earlier in '68 but that video is lost (Except for a fan that filmed the TV screen and another fan that made an audio recording. It is criminal what NBC did. Almost all of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jack Paar and the first ten years (1962-1972) hosted by Johnny Carson were taped over by the network and no longer exist. The videotape was being used repeatedly, hence the reason that Carson's Tonight Show picture looked muddy during broadcast in the late 1960s. Selected sequences from the 1962-1972 era survive and were often replayed by Carson himself (particularly in the months preceding his retirement in 1992) and have been released to home video.
NBC didn't "save pennies" when they reused video tapes. They save thousands of dollars. They didn't think the tapes would have any value in the years to come. Of course it's a shame that the tapes didn't survive but we can't judge yesterday's decisions using today's information and insights. Hindsight is always 20/20.
You are right. NBC didn't save pennies, they saved thousands of dollars and often times the only recordings that survived were fan recordings. Somehow those fans valued the interviews (that had no financial value to them) more than the interviews and performances did to those that legally owned them.
I don’t know.. I wish in this particular interview they treated her with a bit more respect. Yes she’s a star but she’s also a human being and (though might not be on purpose) making her a part of the drowsy flu medication ad at the end came off particularly cruel. I know that Johnny is being playful but at this point he should be versatile enough of a host to switch to more old school/respectful line of interviewing, with someone who’s struggling and be more galant
@@zephyr332 and so can actor singer George maharis. What he did was so wicked cruel and evil and very embarrassing to watch. I was never a maharis fan but this was so horrible and humiliating to watch! 😱😟
Just think.. her body tolerated soooo much and she still looked great here. If it weren’t for those damn pills, she would have been around a LONG LONG time!!!
Wow. What a fragile & damaged creature she appeared to be at such a young age of mid-40s and yet....there was still lots of magic left in that voice for singing. Just taking a mid-movie break from Judy to check out the real deal.
Judy looks great and is in great voice. I just feel that the song and/or the arrangement don't quite make it. I so wanted there to be a rhythmic throb in the accompaniment after the first 16 bars.
Wow Carson introducing Ni-Quil as a "new cold medicine" and Judy is really on her last leg here, really looks like she's half dead..shame because she was one of a kind
Yeah it's so strange how he went on and on about sugar plums and it wasn't even funny. He had Judy Garland sitting in front of him and he rambled on and on about this anonymous box of sugar plums. With poor Judy completely incoherent sitting next to him it just was painful to watch. I can't stand that idle chat show chatter that's literally about nothing.
Oh wow, back when Nyquil was great before the meth addicts ruined it for us all and it was reformulated by the company. It doesn't work like it used to work.
Gosh this is painful to watch. Poor love I just want to take her home and love her and feed her!

AMEN!
Knowing what happens 6mths later this absolutely breaks my heart. There will never be another like her. May she finally be at peace.😢
the way she emotes and lives every note and lyric, it’s so easy to see in Liza too ❤❤❤
Few artist are still admired 53 years after they've gone. The Greats, Chaplin, Cagney, Ella, and Judy.

What an inane discussion. So many interesting and important things Carson could have talked with Judy about and he goes down this sugar plum road.
He mentions in the interview how she's going to London, how sad. we all know what happens there, rest in peace darling.
alinette b Do you think it was that exact trip to London that she passed away? If so, that is really sad. But she does seem pretty out of it here.
Fred Herrman yes. It was her last trip to London and she performed at The Talk Of The Town In Leicester Square. My father went to see her and was appalled because she was late in appearing and the audience got angry and started throwing things at her. She really wasn’t well.

She sounds more like her daughter here.
She looked great. Sad that Judy only lived about six months after this interview. She should have lived to be 100!
She look frail and sick. Sad!
She didn’t look good. Its show business. There are ways to make up a person to look their best and hide problems.
Hey 2beatnick this is now 2021 , she would've been 99 years old now.
She had this natural humor to her. I love her so much.
The way she sings a song is just magnificent. You really feel like she is singing directly to you. What a fantastic talent she had
I was Born in the early 80's. When I saw the wizard of Oz for the 1st time I became a Judy Garland fan. She was amazing! A voice of Gold that has gone very soon.
So ironic..."it's all for you".... if only some of it had been for HER. Blessings dear Judy.
I own Judy's signed contract from the London performances.. Signed by herself..its such a cool item.. Bless her..
Priceless… take care of it please
She will forever be ICONIC! I’m introducing Judy to my tween daughter (she’s really going through it) and no one inspires, and relates like Judy ❤ her voice transcends through generations.
Never heard her sing that one ..Amazing
This is amazing. She just comes to vibrant life again, despite her clear struggle. Bless her heart and we need to take care of each other.
Judy seems quite well here, but every time I watch her in these clips, I end up crying because her pain and struggle is so evident.
I know. She can't even stand.
I cried at this. “It’s all for you”, not for herself. Judy deserved much more than what she got
I'd never see this before... I was really worried when she started to sing.... her voice :( but despite the deterioration of her voice she still completely held the song and felt every note she created with her wonderful gift
As hard as it is to believe her voice got even better as she got older. Just beautiful. We ❤️ you Mrs. Garland. Rest in peace. Somewhere over the rainbow
This beautiful and talented lady was at her very best until the very end.
I love you ❤️ Judy Garland
No other singer connected with their audience the way Judy Garland could.!
I would argue Liza could as well ❤❤❤so beautiful how she carried that forward
I love her but at times you can see her pain and it’s hard to watch
I really love the one lady in the audience who is obviously is a Judy Garland superfan lol
I LOVE JUDY!!! She's been my favorite singer since I was 12 years old. I'm 61 now!!!!! Almost 50 years!!! I think she looks very good. She went downhill fast in the last 6 months of her life. Pictures and film of her AFTER this she looked very bad and old. I'm so surprised her appearance changed so much in 6 months.
It's because here she has television make-up artists and lighting that's adjusted to flatter a performer on television
She looks completely different here than in a another appearance 4 months prior. But, she always did have a different look and different way of talking in almost every interview and appearance, and then you add to that up and down weight.

Thanks for posting - I saw this my freshman year in college and, as always, was stunned by her charisma and talent!
Elegance style grace and that voice! Legend RIP
I remember seeing this. I think she was gone the next year. Such wonderful talent gone.
Just a few months later yes
While she was in London
Wow that's very clear! I don't think I've ever seen (or heard) it look quite so sparkling before!
+Davidalp1 It's wonderful quality, isn't it?
I hear her old songs and I get chills!!!!

Just the best from the past - -
I enjoy so much. I play over and over. Thank you for this.
wonderfully clear....thanks for this!
I've waited all my life to watch the full interview. Thank you!
+Saxon C You're welcome. Thanks to the kindness of Steve Gruber, we're able to watch these.
+Saxon C PS - the full video from her June appearance is here: thejudyroom.com/videos.html
I’d have waited too, had I been aware of it. We live in astonishing times, for good and bad. It’s amazing to see her in new footage, and so full of life despite everything.
Am a big Judy G fan ! Loved her songs acting and she was funny !
Waited a long while to see this she is just great !
It's all for you, brilliant and heart breaking!
welp this made me cry ❤
She was a top notch performer, but she was also a sweet warm funny person herself, I love all her emotes and nonverbal noises she makes, like a cat
judy is so amazing
Judy Garland, sua voz é única. Wonderful!!!
How cool! Thanks!
This is great!
Love the respect between the two
Getting a laugh sure wasn’t much of a challenge back then.
Goodness she was so delicate and frail, but had such a powerful voice. I’m so sorry we lost her so early. I’m sorry she had such a hard life. 💔
She's gorgeous 💟
Judy looks good here, her make-up, hair and wardrobe compliment her very well
She looks great here! 💖

How Many times he says sugar plums its ingouring 😏
She's so sweet :)
Wow that performance.......!
Wonderful talent
Amazing 😊
It’s spooky how closely Judy looks to her daughter, down to the voice and looks.
I wonder what jealous idiot disliked this wonderful video. We love your videos!
+Amber Astor Sadly, there are a lot of jealous Garfreaks out there who hide behind the anonymity of the Internet. Their loss! :)
We will rember you judy ...forever...
Wikipedia lists her at 4’11”. Never would have guessed.
I love you Judy ❤️
JUDY ❤
Judy 💜
The definition of Pathos. Gorgeous.
The poor tortured soul.....God Rest her.....
WHY DO SUCH INCREDIBLY GIFTED TALENTED PEOPLE DIE SO YOUNG...Yoko STILL living......
Yoko is still living...LMAO. Love this comment.
How many times does he say sugar plums?
5:40 "How do you like 'em, John?"
She passes away 6 months after this.

Yeah, but Johnny was known to do and say cruel things if he felt he could get a laugh out of it. Wayne Newton will tell you all about that!!
@@zephyr332 and so can actor singer George maharis. What he did was so wicked cruel and evil and very embarrassing to watch. I was never a maharis fan but this was so horrible and humiliating to watch! 😱😟
Wow...she is very proper and old school, but she's clearly on something. Slurring her words and confused.
So sad at 2:31 she sings "all my days are done"
Did she write the song? No.
This is sad to watch you can tell how messed she is. What a legendary talent. So sad to c her like this
If I had a nickel for every time he said sugarplums...
She looks way older than 47
And sounds
Just think.. her body tolerated soooo much and she still looked great here. If it weren’t for those damn pills, she would have been around a LONG LONG time!!!
Is this what talk shows were like? Ppl actually just talking and not promoting something? Strange 😳
I'm so saddened that she didn't make it longer in life. 😪
Increíble el parecido con su hija ,Liza Minelli.
Wow. What a fragile & damaged creature she appeared to be at such a young age of mid-40s and yet....there was still lots of magic left in that voice for singing. Just taking a mid-movie break from Judy to check out the real deal.
Judy looks great and is in great voice. I just feel that the song and/or the arrangement don't quite make it. I so wanted there to be a rhythmic throb in the accompaniment after the first 16 bars.
That NyQuil though
Judy seems very tired in this interview.
This interview tanked. I was expecting much more from such great talents.
Yeah cause she owes you. Not! Such an ignorant comment.
God loves us. This is proof.
Wow Carson introducing Ni-Quil as a "new cold medicine" and Judy is really on her last leg here, really looks like she's half dead..shame because she was one of a kind
She was a tiny little thing but very talented as can be she was only 4ft11 or 5 foot
Why is wasting time to advertise sugar plums? This is so strange I don’t understand
Yeah it's so strange how he went on and on about sugar plums and it wasn't even funny. He had Judy Garland sitting in front of him and he rambled on and on about this anonymous box of sugar plums. With poor Judy completely incoherent sitting next to him it just was painful to watch. I can't stand that idle chat show chatter that's literally about nothing.
I think Carson was trying to keep things light.
She sounds very similar to Liza Manelli
Oh wow, back when Nyquil was great before the meth addicts ruined it for us all and it was reformulated by the company. It doesn't work like it used to work.
In all the interviews I've seen of Judy, she always seems incoherent and seems to struggle with her thoughts and words.
