 So happy to have found it on Amazon.com!

| I traveled to many stores in the area looking for a CD of Judy Garland and some of the older stars recordings, to no avail. Then someone told me about Amazon.com, so I got online and there they were! I ordered two of the many choices for a gift for my elderly Aunt and she was so happy to get them! Thanks Amazon.....Vivian |

 Judy Was Never Geared Towards The Singles Market
Submitted on: 2007-08-12 |

From her initial hit single Over The Rainbow in September 1939 (# 5) from her film The Wizard Of Oz, to her last in 1954, The Man That Got Away (# 22 that September) from the film A Star Is Born, she only registered 17 hit singles, 15 with Decca and the last two for Columbia. And in this volume you get just seven of them, as tracks 2, 3, 5, 9 and 11 were never hits for Judy.
In addition to Over The Rainbow, on which she was accompanied by the Victor Young orchestra, this gives you: a duet with Gene Kelly, For Me And My Gal (from the film of the same name), which went to # 3 in February 1942; The Trolley Song (# 4), Meet Me In St. Louis, Louis (# 22), and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (# 27) - all in late 1944 and all from the film Meet Me In St. Louis and all backed by Georgie Stoll's orchestra; another duet, this time with Bing Crosby, on the humorous Yah-Ta-Ta, Yah-Ta-Ta (Talk, Talk, Talk) which, with the backing of Joe Lilley's orchestra, went to # 5 in June 1945; and On The Atcheson, Topeka, And The Santa Fe\, a # 10 in October 1945 from the film The Harvey Girls, backed by The Merry Macs and Lyn Murray's orchestra.
Left out, and which would have been better choices in a volume titled "best of" than the five tracks mentioned above, were any from among these Decca cuts: I'm Nobody's Baby, a # 3 in August/September 1940 with Bobby Sherwood's orchestra backing from the film Andy Hardy Meets Debutante; the flipside to Me And My Gal and another duet with Kelly, When You Wore A Tulip (And I Wore A Big Red Rose), which reached # 19 in April 1942; Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart, a # 22 in July 1943 with Victor Young's orchestra from the Broadway Revue "Thumbs Up"; the March 1944 # 25 A Journey To A Star from the film The Girls He Left Behind, with Georgie Stoll's orchestra; This Heart Of Mine, a # 22 in May 1945; Wait And See, a # 24 in March 1946, also from The Harvey Girls; You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel, a # 21 in June 1946 with Lyn Murray's orchestra; and a duet with Dick Haymes, For You, For Me, Forevermore, from the film The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, which reached # 19 in January 1947.
After that last hit with Decca, she next turned up at Columbia, and in July 1953 had Without A Memory go to # 29 backed by Percy Faith's orchestra, followed by the above-mentioned The Man That Got Away.
Despite the omissions and the inclusion of those 5 tracks this is still one of the better entries from the Millenium Collection with 3 pages of liner notes by Joseph F. Laredo, a partial discography of the contents [no chart information], and several more nice photographs of Judy. I just wish that producer Andy McKaie had seen fit to include some of those missing hit singles. He certainly had room to do so. |

The young Judy Garland
Submitted on: 2006-06-09 |

Judy Garland was a singer of tremendous emotional power. In her latter years this was reenforced by the sense of her fragility. In the early years the singing is fresher and filled with hope. The songs she sings here are among the greatest in the world's songbook, including one that is for many the greatest song of all time, her signature song, 'Over the Rainbow'.
This is one of those songs it is possible to list to over and over again. 'Embraceable you' ' You made me love me' 'Swanee' are in the same category as great classics of song.
