The adorable, very pretty, very intelligent, and extremely talented singer, actress, comedian, dancer, entertainer, performer, and person Judy Garland made this beautiful and classic song her own back in 1935! I love this! Thank you for posting and sharing this!
I Love this Song! his song truly belongs sonly to Judy Garland! Judy Garland sang this song on the radio at 13! Judy Garland sang this brilliant song in the 1939 MGM Classic, Delightful, Musical Movie, Listen, Darling!
Wow! I never heard this recording for this song of Judy Garland at age 20 in March 1943. Miss Garland was in the middle of filming "Girl Crazy" when this recording was taken. I always felt that her voice peaked around 1943. I've never heard anyone possess a quality in their voice that could even come close to Judy Garland's voice during the mid 1940s. Being a huge fan for nearly four decades, I have to admit that I usually don't listen to her recordings from the late 1950s to the end of her life in 1969 because sadly, the smoking had ravaged her voice during that time period causing it to become harsh with an uncontrolled vibrato that would crack. I feel that people need to be honest about the evolution of Judy Garland's voice. However, between 1942 and 1947 was Garland magic! During that time period, her voice was both untouchable and something out of this world!
Excellent Casey. I agree. Her earlier recordings were nearly too high for me to copy, but this song during the time her voice matured is perfect for me to practice singing with. The later years she got a wee bit husky from the cigs and I can't always copy her style from then.
Watch Presenting Lily Mars. I don't know why people don't reference it more, but her voice singing the short "When I Look at You" and it's comedic interpretation separately, showcase her contralto voice at its most powerful. Coming in tied for second are young Judy in Oz and "Get Happy" in Summer Stock.
I believe the depth of her artistry deepened as her career went on. !963/64 were some of the most profound performances she ever gave- so deep it felt like she was beamed in from another planet. Her control even in the early sixties was astounding. No, her voice- the instrument- didn't have the seductive beauty of the 1940's but man, she was a master interpreter. But were talking about someone who was greater than any living performer by the time she was 15. P.S. she had extremely controlled vibrato well into the 1960's.
Written in 1934 , Zing ! Went The Strings Of My Heart " was a Garland favorite while she was still a young vaudeville sensation . Her mother Ethel is said to have made her original arrangement , with its slow introductory passage and dramatic mid - song shift to a swinging up tempo finale . She sang this version on NBC's Shell Chateau radio program on the night of November 16 , 1935 , with her stricken father listening in on a hospital room radio . The following day he died of spinal meningitis . " I sang my heart out for him , " Garland later recalled , " but by morning he was gone . " The song remained in her repertoire the rest of her life . She sang it in her 1938 film Listen Darling and on numerous radio appearances . It would later become a perennial concert favorite .
No filters. No effect manipulation. No autotune. No comparison... Time machine please... Sign me up, send me overseas, and call me G.I. Joe. This performance is one hell of a morale booster. Judy I salute you.
InTheory I agree to every single word of your comment. What a performance! I’ve only heard her classic ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ before but this is something else, every version that I’ve heard of this song defines the word beautiful in every way. That too, at such a young age she was incredibly talented. She has a heavenly beauty and that voice, I don’t think I’ve heard or will hear something even near to that. It’s quite shocking how did she have such a polished and mature voice at that age! And that emotion she puts into this song startles me, what an inspiration! To achieve this kind of voice, people need years of practice. Thank you for suggesting me this song and all the versions of this song, I’m completely mesmerised and will now admire her as my role model forever. My hats off to this angel💫💘
@@TheCosmicNote Many of the songs she sings are true to her life. That's where all her allurre, beauty, emotion, and magic comes from. Her parents were vaudevillians and owned a vaudeville theater. Her father also sang quite beautifully as well, and her mother played the piano. She started singing with her sisters (Mary Jane and Virginia) at the age of 2 , they were known as 'The Gumm Sisters' and regularly put on multiple shows a day and traveled. To better explain and understand look up Judy Garland-'I Was Born In A Trunk' a tribute to Baby Gumm on nimbusmiranda channel. This song is from the movie 'A Star Is Born' (1954) when Judy was 32 years old. There will be a noticable difference in her voice, mostly because she was a heavy smoker, but she will still knock your socks off. Edit: I chose this one because there are a lot of photos of 'Baby' Gumm, but to really appreciate the song in it's entirety it is best to see the aforementioned movie. The movie also mirrors Judy's personal life in many ways. It is a heartbreaking but also very moving and beautiful movie and a must see for any Judy Garland fan. All her films are special but this one is the 'tops'.
InTheory oh that’s why!!! All these songs and films are relatable to her that’s why her emotions in the songs are beautiful. The fact that she started singing at the age of 2, must be the sure reason why her voice was so mature at a young age. I’ll definitely watch the film now😊❤️
@@TheCosmicNote It is not always exactly 'true story' relatable, but the mirroring of her life in her songs and in her movies is uncanny. This movie ('A Star Is Born') is the closest thing to what her actual life was like, but with some variation. I encourage you to learn more about her and I am sorry if it causes you as much heartache and pain as it does me, but I choose to focus on the happiness and joy she had in her life and her work. I choose to celebrate her existence more, and try my best not to mourn her as much, but when you love someone so deeply this is a nearly impossible undertaking.
This is lovely. But I don't know why the violins, in this arrangement, have to copy the melody in sections. Let Garland be the only one with the melody.

All nature seem to be in perfect harmony with extraordinary vocals by Miss Judy Garland.
I Love this Song! his song truly belongs sonly to Judy Garland! Judy Garland sang this song on the radio at 13! Judy Garland sang this brilliant song in the 1939 MGM Classic, Delightful, Musical Movie, Listen, Darling!
This is an absolutely fantastic "live" vocal when her voice in my opinion was at its zenith. Wonderful.
She is gorgeous in that pic as well.

@@Yosef_Morrison Wow, but have you listened to her 1957 album, "Alone?" Voice very strong there; not husky; lots of dynamics and vocal control.

Judy belts this out,like no one else.How voices and talent like hers,are so sorely missed.R.I.P Judy.

What abeautiful song, is like it was written and sang in heaven. Thank you, Judy for that beautiful performance.
This is my all-time FAVORITE song!!!
Charlene McClintock my cry to my loved ones. one of my favorites too
I'm altogether agree with you !
her voice was so noticeably stronger. singing this
Best version ever.
Beautiful as always ♪♥♪♥♪♥♪
love my spiritual momma!
henriette fjellhaug I loved her before you were born lol
Beautiful color photo and lovely voice
Brilliant and timeless
Great lyric, and even better vocal. When Judy hits and sustains notes in her pomp, it's thrilling.
The Best version of this song ,
Thanks for publishing this more matured version. It's in just the right range for me.
Judy 4-ever !
The studio controlled how long she sang as a girl as opposed to a woman. She was always fantastic regardless.
Lovely ❤
Judy was an amazing woman for sure...Up until her death in '69
the voice improvement 😭😭😭
Loveeeeesss
Wow
Thomas Donohue - wow is right.
This is lovely. But I don't know why the violins, in this arrangement, have to copy the melody in sections. Let Garland be the only one with the melody.
Rip
not the best version.
the best version is on my 2LP album, it has a vibraphone.
ga ga goo goo u
Here's your pacifier.
I heard she was extremely into making whoopee
