I think she’s the greatest entertainer of the twentieth century. Number one. Everybody talks about Al Jolson; I don’t know Al Jolson , but I can’t concieve of anyone being better than Judy. There’s not too many people that can hold an audience for two hours, just by themselves. She danced, she moved, she sang, she acted. I just feel there’s nothing, anything, near her.

I've always loved this song, as sung by Judy Garland, as a teenager growing up. as an adult, I love it even more.

Mort Lindsey & Orchestra - Overture (Judy At Carnegie Hall)

[gummgarland]

About 30 minutes before curtain time the producer for Capitol Records spoke to Judy in her dressing room. he explained that they intended to record the concert and would she mind if we asked the drummer to tone it down for recording purposes. At this point Judy told him in no uncertain terms that this was her night, and she intended to give the best performance she could and didn't care if they got their recording or not but she wanted her drummer to play as vigorously as he was used to.

Please Say "Ah"was written by Saul Chaplin and Mort Lindsey for Judy Garland (Jenny) and Dirk Bogarde (David) to sing in "I Could Go On Singing" (1963), and is sung here by Judy and musical supervisor, Saul Chaplin.

The song was ultimately deleted from the film as it didn't fit in with the dramatic feel of the picture and the other songs, and many of the lyrics ended up being converted into dialogue in one of the early scenes. Judy sings this song with so much emotion, making it beautiful and light, and featuring that gorgeous Garland giggle

Judy Garland and her conductor/arranger, Judy at Manhattan Center, 1962.

From Wikipedia: Judy Takes Broadway, was a live-performance album recorded at the Manhattan Center in New York City on April 26, 1962 for Capitol Records. Unfortunately, the night that Garland recorded this album, she had a bad case of laryngitis and did not get to complete all of the wanted tracks for the album. She managed to finish 10 of the 13 scheduled songs that night.

Capitol Records ended up not releasing this particular album due to her laryngitis, although there was a tentative plan for Judy to remake the LP in a recording studio. It was suggested by Steve Sanders in 1989 to release the album for the first time; Capitol made the decision to issue the album finally on June 20, 1989, with the title Judy Garland Live! The CD today is out of print, but has been included in Garland's Amsterdam Concert CD case as an extra bonus.
