- Original 1967 stereo studio test mix of Judy Garland singing I'll Plant My Own Tree from Valley Of The Dolls. Judy's recording is accompanied by footage of her costumes tests for the film. Thankfully, she was spared the indignity of appearing in the finished product. I do not own, nor do I have any claim on this video. No copyright infringement is intended.

Like her daughter Lorna and others who knew her said: she wasn't a tragic person. Sure, tragic things happened to her, but she herself wasn't tragic, and always tried to make a bad situation into a good one for her children. She was full of life and happiness.
Judy makes this campy song sound like a big hit!
In the 30's, 40's & 50's Judy Garland was America's most beloved star. You can't beat that. Love is worth more than an Academy Award Oscar.
This is sad.......she is deathly thin......poor thing.She could sing though!!!! bless her heart!
I LOVE JUDY GARLAND!!!! She's been my favorite singer since I was 12 years old. I'm 62 now. 50 YEARS!!!!!
She did look very glamorous though, didn't she?
No, she didn't. She looks simply awful.
@@VTMCompany just like you do. Rude ass
@@VTMCompany No, she looks thin and underweight and like a woman her age. That's not awful.
My poor judy i cant believe how thin she is here.
That pants suit made it into her wardrobe, and she wore it on Broadway at the Palace. Thank heavens she didn't complete the film. It's better to think of her in "I Could Go On Singing." And she has, indeed, gone on singing....
Yes, she's thin, but apart from the white gown with the excessively dropped waist which swallows her, she looks fine in these, and notice that costume designer Travilla didn't change a thing when Susan Hayward took over; she wears these same designs in her four sequences.
She sang the heck out of that song. Much more feeling to it and not just a nice simple song like it was in the movie.
I love Judy garland she is best singer and actress there will never be another Judy garland there's only one no one else can replace her talent rip Judy garland we love you
Love this even more than the version from the film!
It's the same song. Same singer.
@@gilbertmartinez1504 no margaret whiting dubbed Susan in the movie.
Judy Garland at her soulful best belting out "I'll Plant My Own Tree" as only she could do, scaling heights of the song with tremendous full tones, it is a stunning performance and definitive version...
A very silly song, but the lady made the best of it. I remember from a biographical film that an early vocal coach scolded her for fluffing a song. I think she never forgot that lesson and put her heart and soul into every song ever since. She becomes the song, unlike so many who merely use a song as a showcase for their voice. I think this is why she remains the best. And they say she was expert at performance. They'd run her through a routine just once and she'd have it down, including those extravaganza song and dance numbers in her movie musicals. These costumes were okay, except for that white gown. That one distorted her figure, making it look out of proportion.
She looks so young here amazing
Wow, her voice is spectacular here so late in her life.
The last one is lovely on her. Suits her.
That big, distinctive, throbbing voice belied her frail appearance.
FABULOUS!!!!!
I love the sequin pantsuit
The story goes that Judy took some if not all of her costumes when she was let go from VOTD. All I know is, when I saw her live on the Boston Common (I was there all day long to get a good spot), she was wearing that sequined pants suit.
Love you forever Judy ❤️❤️❤️ RIP
Although I think she would have been a great Helen Lawson, I have to agree with you. VOTD, as much as I love it, is pure schlock. ICGOS is a much lovelier note to go out on.
Judy is so strong on this song !!
poor judy.so funny and so tragic in the same time...
Pow. On the money recording, thanks for posting. So we have the best of it. JG was correct in her assessment : a mediocre song, she could not help, because she was the best on a bad day, but salvage it. Note: how many costume tests she'd endured for thirty years, what a sense of humor JG has?
I don't want remember life before Judy singing this.
It has been suggested but not confirmed that she stole them. Definitely the pant suit because she wore that at her second record breaking run at the Palace, though, again, some have said that the studio gave it to her. It was the least they could have done after the shitty way they treated her.
jimsher9880 Judy didn’t steal anything, the designer who designed her costumes gifted the pant suit to Judy because he admired and loved her , it was a gift
She was awfully thin I don't think she even ate but she waited all day long even though she recorded the song for the movie The director or the producer whoever it was made her wait all day long and just said tell her to try the costumes on and then she didn't get the job this is how you treat a legendary woman but she was spectacular and I love the fact that Lorna said she walked off with that last outfit and wore it at the palace
So very very sad. This great icon should have been treated with respect , patience, love and understanding. She was trying her very best and trying to make a comeback. She was there early and was treated like crap , making her wait all day till around 3 or 4 o'clock (clean and sober .) She was trying her very best but later, after all this time and very nervous, she began to drink (etc) to calm herself ...
After only a week they fired her. She truly didn't deserve this. She knew this was going to be the end of her film comeback. So very humiliating for a star of her caliber. Then came the London fiasco-printed world wide. This was probably the final end. She was dead 6 months later.😢😓😞
I cannot help but wonder how she would of fared playing the part of Helen Lawson
She would have been great in this movie.
YEAAAA JUDY!!!!!
This is great...yes, she's thin but don't forget, she was barely 5' tall. She could sing anything.
Oh my god😧she is awfully skinny
Very thin But She's had her Essence And that's 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lord, she looks so YOUNG here!!! It could be 1951!
WTF were they thinking casting her in this film? Even Patty Duke (who adored Judy) said she was so incredibly ill at the time and obviously could not even function. She loathed the director (whom she refers to as the meanest son of a bitch she ever worked for) for often (publicly) humiliating Judy.
Another account on here has the costume tests too, with the audio. Unforunately there's no audio for the latter two costumes. :\
How many of Judy's Valley of the Dolls scenes were shot? If any survived and were published, I can't find them on here.
A strong performance with her number. Her outfits look good on her, although she is very thin. Too sad.
she was nothing but a bone with some hair on it. she really dodged a bullet by not appearing in this debacle.
4’9” and that anorexic. 😑 Surprised this unique artist even lived a year after this was filmed.
Is it known how many takes she did of this?
Yes, she only recorded two takes of this song. Does anyone have the second take? If so, please let someone know so perhaps it could be posted and the whole world can enjoy it!!¡🤔😟👍 Please... God will bless you!!!😇🤗💞
She gives it a Broadway feel and her age really comes through. I prefer Susan singing, but I like how she looks better than the other actress. If only Judy wasn't so broken at the time, she really could have been wonderful in the picture.
Susan didnt sing it. Margaret Whiting did.
Patty Duke has an interveiw with Bruce Villanch talking about the Judy situation. Substance and some horrible enabling sycophants helped Judy disintegrate before she could even make it to the set. As Patty says in the interveiw she should not even have been hired. She was also so erratic during the I Could Go On Singing shoot that the crew referred to her as "It". She was a great Hollywood talent that was destroyed by the system and her own poor choices.
I saw that short interview also. Patty's character (as everyone already knew at the time) was loosely based on Judy Garland as a star during the late 40's at MGM. This was a very awkward and precarious situation for everyone involved-especially Judy. This was the reason thatPatty said she should never have been hired-out of proper respect for Judy Garland,! Sadly, she was homeless with no money and desperately needed the job. It must have been humiliating for her to have to accept a job that was so unworthy of her.
Judy was painfully thin at this time.
Did she at least get to keep the clothes?
I have a gut feeling she didn't really want this role, because she didn't fit the character nor did she feel comfortable playing it. Fear and guilt took over.
Love Judy but this was not a role for her. Suffering from drugs and alcoholism it was best she sat this one out. But again too old to play the ingenue. But the role of “O’Hara” suited Judy 45 yo at the time. Of course Judy a seasoned actress could of pull off the role presented to Patty Duke. Either way you look 👀 at the decisions were correct. Valley of the Dolls was not suited for a beautiful star 🌟 like Judy who life had different levels of tragically events. Judy stay in her dignity. A STAR 🌟 THE BRIGHTEST STAR ❤
Her poses were awkward, as if she were terribly self conscious and had never been in front of a camera before. The giggling, joking and goofiness seemed inappropriate during costume tests as the director is trying to get her to cooperate. Another channel has the audio of them speaking to each other. She appeared drunk or high. Unprofessional.
