- From The Mike Douglas Show, aired in August of 1968. (Part 4 of 4)
In the final part of the interview Judy talks about some of her movies, her children's reactions to The Wizard Of Oz and she sings Over The Rainbow by request.
Enjoy! - บันเทิง
She earned the right to sing that song any damn way she wanted to.
Totally agreed! That is her song! I thought she was wonderful. She sang it from the heart. To think they were going to cut the song out of the movie. A class act! Bravo!
Yours truly, magical Entertainer Vincent

Damn Straight!
Omg when she said"I think i've made it over the rainbow"i almost cried!
I only wish that Judy could read all of the wonderful comments and know that she is continually gaining new fans in the 21st Century!
Now that's a star.
It made me tear when she said "I think I've finally gotten over the rainbow."
She has been, and will always be, irreplaceable. R.I.P.
She's over the rainbow now.
Rockinhigh Lol, there's really not much on my channel. I just use this to express my thoughts in the comment section. =)
literally
She is over the rainbow definitely. She is probably melting peoples hearts like she did on earth
Judy Garland was, is, and always will be, one of the greatest stars this world has ever known. Her humility, extraordinary wit and unique persona is so apparent in this clip. She also looks absolutely beautiful. God Bless Judy Garland always and forever!

Totally agree such a talented beautiful soul still missed always loved.
Exactly ❤
Certain people can (and do) whine on about drugs and drink etc., but nothing can destroy the blazing talent that was and is Judy Garland, a lady who always tried to give of her best. And pretty much most of the time that is exactly what she delivered. She was a magnificent talent, far above the mediocre talents that we find ourselves surrounded by these days. Those of us who shared some time on this earth with her should count ourselves truly blessed.
Good post. The issues are always more than other people know about, very complicated.............Love her, enjoy her, appreciate her...........morn her.
Her singing performances and films were legend, but "Wizard Of Oz" made her eternal. :-)
Michael Barnhart I know right
Very true but her incredible stage presence and possessing the greatest voice in history goes far beyond Oz. 👍❤️
You made me cry lol but yee
Such sheer talent back then that people today can't even touch. She was a beauty for sure. Miss those days alot.
The most intimate and relaxed version she ever did of this song. Bright moment in her late career.
Why do people think she sounded bad here? I think she's in good voice.
Me2
I think the alcohol from the night before you can still hear
It wasn't her best performance, but whatever, she's not a robot.
Perhaps they still hear the younger Judy in their head and compare?🤷 Beautiful woman
@@litlgotti1003 If you don't have anything complimentary to say, then for heavens sake, please keep it to yourself, she worked so hard for all of us, nearly her entire lifetime,
I don't mean to be impertinent or say anything out of turn, but if you haven't anything nice to say, that you wouldn't really say in front of that person, and wouldn't want said about you. Maybe keep it to yourself.
It always makes me cry when I hear her sing it.
Judy was an amazing talent. It's so unfortunate that she was taken by the disease of addiction, but it was nobody's fault. People were just under educated about drugs. I'm honestly impressed that she lasted as long as she did, being so small while taking drugs in doses that are too much for even large people. It goes to show how truly strong she was. What a lady. Rest in peace, Judy.
Lovely lovely comments. Great empathy for great artist. What you wrote about judy made my day.
On the set they made her smoke 80 cigarettes a day
@@avaloot1325 Sure they did. They had a special Smoking Manager tracking Judy's tobacco intake, making sure she smoked a full four packs, a wonderful idea for a singer, good for her voice, good for her appearance, especially her teeth.
Mike seemed a bit nervous asking her to sing Over the Rainbow because she rarely sang it on TV and saved it for her concerts. I’m so glad that she agreed To sing it because it was the last time on tv that she sang her signature song!
When you watch Wizard of Oz with a modern audience, man, you could hear a pin drop during Over the Rainbow. And the audience invariably bursts into spontaneous applause at the end. It's still one of the most iconic and mesmerizing moments on film.
We don't have legends like these anymore.
That is for sure...
Her talent is beyond light years in comparison to today's divas.
Barbra Streisand and betnadette Peters are also dear to me.
Yes we do, you're talking out of your ass.
Whenever Judy Sang OTR, she sang it as if her heart was breaking. And no matter how many ppl were in her audience, They became so silent that u could literally hear a pin drop. Judy really believed in those lyrics and she never spoffed it; that's why so many people, including myself, cringe when we hear someone else sing this song. I've said this a few times before, When Judy sang OTR it was always live. She never lip synced to it even if her voice wasnt up to par, she always sang it perfectly.
I'll take this version over just about any other she ever did. Thank you for everything, Miss Judy Garland.
One of a kind performer. She looked beautiful , but seemed uncomfortable or troubled. I imagine she was just being herself. So very sad her life ended so soon & tragically. Today's female performers can't even compare to you. RIP Judy. You were truly the best of all time!!
When she started to sing, I got goosebumps, then tears, then I smiled :)
Judy Garland was a wonderful woman with an amazing talent. She had the beauty & the voice, may she Rest in Peace cause her Rainbow isn't over
im balling my eyes out. she is so talented and beautiful such an inspiration i love you so much judy forever in our hearts
Relax!!!!
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
She seems so laid back-I like this.....
tears pouring down my face....That voice, Over the Rainbow, it's her. She's still with us and always will be.
Indeed…Always!
A star like no other...ever! extraordinary! Bless her soul..forever!
I never get tired of hearing her sing...
A pure lady....total class.
TY
yes
Turkey?
I've heard and watched this clip several times. I love it. Finally a pianist got it right. The key was adjusted. The original song was in Ab+ (way too high for Garland at this time of her life) It was dropped down a perfect fourth to Eb+. And she sounds BEAUTIFUL here. There is a change of key after "find me" to F+. Someone should have taken the time to change/lower orchestrations for her. If you've heard the Philadelphia version of the song "Insensitive", you can hear that it is a perfect range. (if only she had recorded a soft bossa nova album at the time) I was born a few days before the famous 1961 concert - I would give my eye teeth to have heard her live.
Robert Jennings The amazing thing is that she couldn't read a note of music, but if you gave her a key she could remain perfectly on pitch, even if the key modulated.
Ty for the theory lesson. Seemed the pianist couldn't hear her in the beginning. But what a powerful song. Wish I wrote it, but then again I wouldn't be here if I did!!!! RIP Judy. ONE OF THE BEST
Still amazing, only a year before her death. The voice is pretty worn out, but she knew how to create magic with what she had remaining.
I just read something the other night that in 1964 when Judy traveled to Australia they would not allow her to bring her medications into the country. Someone got her medications while she was there apparently different ones than she normally took. From Australia she went to Hong Kong and while there she had an overdose and they took her to the hospital and when the pumped her stomach they saved her life but damaged her vocal chords in the process. Very sad.
You just want to crawl through the screen and help/save her. We love you, Judy.
She owns this song and can sing it any way or how she wants, this song is Judy Garland that I feel so much pain for what Hollywood did to her....rest in peace Francis Gum aka Judy Garland rip. Never forgotten....
I love how Judy reacted to Mickey Rooney and said proudly, "My Pal" then told us who else is in the picture and she calls her self a "broad" She is so funny..
She never spoofed The Wizard of Oz or Over the rainbow which she held with great reverence. An artist that truly respected and loved her audiences
Wow considering her issues, her voice was incredible!! Omg such a legend. I love her and always will. Such a performer 👏🏼
This is wonderful and heartbreaking...
I was born in the late fall of 1978. I Love the Adorable, Extremely Talented, Legendary, Sincere, Very Intelligent, Very Pretty, Very Witty Judy Garland! Judy Garland is comfortable and relaxed in this clip! This is one of the best interviews and performances that Judy Garland gave in later years! Judy Garland is Over the Rainbow Immortal in Heaven and Immortal in all of her movies, radio broadcasts, recordings concerts, television show. television specials and guest appearances!
A legend never dies.
Never has there been a more appropriate theme song attached to a celebrity. The passion evoked everytime Miss Garland sings HER song is palatable.
Her voice was magic , even after all the challenges of substance abuse, she had that God given gift of music and a voice that lit up a room. The world lost her way too soon.
She can make me smile and cry in an instant. True talent!
Emotional performance! R.I.P. Judy!
I love this. Judy doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. I love this version. Nice and stripped down for the woman who can still break hearts when singing this song, 50 years later.
OMG She’s ageless. We miss her deeply.
I love her and she is going to be one of the greatest artist of all time.
I've never seen her do this song the saw way. She always found something new in it. What a brilliant talent. She continues to live.
SHe was a funny, witty lady!! What a talent......no one will ever compare to her!! A true legend!
I'll always love Judy!!! She loved making ppl smile and laugh💖
An Outstanding Talent And a Marvelous Human Being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to her unique phrasing. Even at less than peak form, it never occurred to her to sing this song, in the usual way most people would would expect her to sing it.
You can tell that song meant a LOT to her, and while she loved the song, the memories behind it sting a little.
I cried too, she looked gr8, remnds me of my grandmother and Mom. A wonderful era and Mike was a sweet man w/ a comforting voice.
❤❤
it breaks my heart that her life was so hard
This was an unusual treat, because she didn't like to sing "Over The Rainbow" on TV in her later years.
so wonderful, makes me cry
Love me some Judy Garland. Such a great talent.
Her face is a little puffy because of withdrawal. She was trying once again to kick the pills. Her voice is strong and that quick wit is still very much intact. I'll take Judy Garland in this condition over Beyonce or Gaga (or anyone else you want to name) any day.
Puffiness, or bloating, is a sign of large doses of sodium being taken faster than the kidneys can flush them out, and seconal causes this type of bloating. I know she tried to stop in 68, but she had many slip-ups.
Amen!! Me too. ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo! Well said! I couldn't agree more!
I love her!!💜💜
Best female entertainer that ever lived. Sammy Davis was best male ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still adore dear Judy and all the movies shes stared in. Shes never going to be forgotten. Shes such a legend and still will be forever more!
No entertainer like her...ever!
The one and only, gone too soon but beloved forever.
Yeah, I started tearing up. That’s a heartbreaker. Love ya Judy
It's beautiful to se her sing this song so many years later in her life, she sang that song like she literally wanted to go over the rainbow :)
Judy Garland was absolutely beautiful in her youth years between 1930s-1940s, when she had curves to her body. That's what separated her from all the other skinny and superficial actresses back in the day. She was a magnificently beautiful woman.
isn't it great how just hearing her speak and tell stories makes your heart fill with love?
Judy still had the magic. Great Lady ❤️
What a talent I am off to New York in October to visit her resting place she was such a star then and now
She's amazing!!! If only if she was still alive today. God bless her soul.
i get chills as she is singing that song!
The greatest female vocalist ever! She is toward the end of her life and her voice is so amazing when she sings OTR. The audience that day really was lucky because Judy rarely sang this song on TV. U can hear them clap wildly once she starts to sing the song
Wow what a beautiful beautiful Angel 2019!!!
WOW! fun to see what a STAR she is. Thank you
Wow. Even though this was towards the end of her life, she still brought yet another beautiful and touching rendition of her signature song. Go Judy!
Just saw the Wizard of Oz in I Max 3 D....Was amazing...Judy Garland was married to my grandmothers cousin (Sid Luft)....What a talent Judy garland was... so sad how her life wound down.
Sid Luft was a scam artist, thief and thug! He stole money from Judy Garland! Their Mariage was not a happy one!
LOL..the key of "Q". She was so funny. So amazingly talented..and had that beautiful soul. A GREAT human, and true diva...she will never be forgotton or replaced!
Excellent..loved every second..sounds fantastic..she touches the heart strings of your heart , like no other voice can or ever will be able to do...love you Judy....
She looks like she has all the wonder of a child when she sings "Over the Rainbow...." What a beautiful creature she was. Absolutely exquisite.
Rest well, dear lady.
She didnt even need the piano, her voice was also the music here!
amazing performance:)
She Has truly been blessed with something special.
Mike Douglas was regular viewing in our house, and for just the reason you see here. He had the most interesting guests and was always so respectful of them. I suspect that little interpolation was her way of thanking him for that.
This performance is almost haunting. There is a sadness to it, but there is also a sort of hope in her voice. So beautiful
Such a beautiful voice.Besides the use of drugs.Such a beautiful person.
I got teary eyed when she sung over the rainbow!!!
She was there with all her talent and her love to the audiences.. WE LOVE YOU JUDY!!
I LOVE this. This was the first time I saw the "adult Garland", in the summer of 1968 I was eight years old. She was rested when this was shot and in great form and voice for 1968. Thank you for posting this.
What a truly beautiful and gifted woman. Beautiful in heart, soul, voice, energy and appeal. If only she loved her self with more reassuring confidence. It's beautiful to see though, that her confidence grew with time, despite social pressures! Love her forever, her gift will LIVE ON! TIMELESS CLASSIC and BEAUTY! 💟😘
We all know the voice and her acting, but I just loved her humour and laugh.
A Real Star! What more can I say? To hear Judy Garland sing Over The Rainbow live is Priceless!
That beautiful voice! Love it!
Beautiful rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
This was a stellar few minutes in the history of talk show television. Very endearing and touching, especially in view of how close she was to the end of her earthly journey.
I just want to be buried when my time comes with her singing this in the back round.
She is a damned national treasure. They do not come like Judy Garland anymore. The hell that hollywood put her through is sickening.
She's in relatively good voice for the time here, and that piano accompaniment was in just the right key for her matured voice. By far one of the better performances she (or anyone else) did of this marvelous song. It's a shame we lost her so young. Were it not for the drugs, she might even be around today.
So true brother ,so true ! Though I was born in early seventies ,from my earliest memories of music and musicals Judy has left an everlasting imprint on my life !!!
Shane de Leon Hollywood does that to people... all the abuse she suffered on and off set... i'm not surprised she turned to the drugs and alcohol. it's a shame we lost her so young indeed.
Well it's almost mother's Day into watch. This beautiful lady becomes so much more than she ever thought. She was rainbow beautiful rainbow. She created the most iconic song that we will resonate for the rest of our lives. She was beautiful. She was never told how beautiful her singing was beyond the rainbows in her life. Hard as it was. She made it better for the rest of us. Happy mother's Day! Judy❤
She rips my heart out.. I just love her.
I want to hug her. You can tell she was a good person.
The Judy movie with Rene Zellweger, 2019, brought me here.
Glad judy did so many interviews in last two years of her life. Precious history of a great artist.
