Trevor, what a lovely treat to hear your mom sing. Her beautiful and clear voice is reminiscent of Teddi King (and that's quite a compliment). Your dad's work never ceases to astound.
Trevor.... What a thrill to finally hear these recordings of your wonderful Mom, singing these iconic orchestrations (along with Jud Conlon's chorus). Her voice is impressive and lovely. I've long hoped that recordings existed of your Mom working out the arrangements with the stunning CBS Orchestra, and we are all grateful that you are sharing them with the world.
Last, but not least..... the legendary Mort Lindsey..... how proud you must be of your family's incomparable contribution to the history of popular music, and for your Dad's sensitive and inventive arrangements, that allowed Miss Garland to soar to the highest heights, only she was capable of. Many thanks. A fine tribute to your folks.
Your mother's voice was absolutely beautiful Trevor. Bringing me to tears!
Wow that's my favorite episode of the series 25 I believe and your mom on the Gordon Jenkins arr of Gotta right to sing the blues is fantastic! Also this is my favorite version of Just in time and to here her so I clearly and correctly singing the ending is a revelation that is a killer arr for those changes and modulations and she's gorgeous throughout - Thanks so much for posting
What a treasure! It’s always thrilling to hear something “new” from the series. Thanks for sharing these gems with us!
Trevor, thank you for sharing the legacy of your parents with us. What a gem!!!!
Your Mom has a wonderful voice. And your Dad, of course, is a brilliant musician. Judy was blessedly surrounded with wonderful musicians that have contributed with that Garland magic on stage. ❤️
I think Mort Lindsey was an absolute genesis. As much as I adore Judy, I am always amazed by his fantastic arrangements. What a legacy!
My father certainly was one of the greats at arranging and composing. I remember him sitting at the piano with a music score in front of him and I was always amazed at how he was able to work out the notes on the piano with his left hand, and write them down so quickly with his right hand on the paper. Most amazing was that it was often for an 80 piece orchestra, and he was creating all the parts for each instrument right then and there off the top of his head!
@@trevorlindsey580 Just brilliant musician! Are any of your father's arrangements published? I would love to have my students study them as an example of ideal arrangements.
All of his arrangements went to the music library at Columbia University in NYC. They can be accessed there.
Wow! Fabulous.
Thank you so much for posting this. Your mom's voice and musicality are amazing. So nice to hear the kind of singer from an era when singers really knew what good music was about. And she obviously felt what these songs were about. These are really lovely heartfelt performances and don't sound just like someone trying to help a rehearsal. Your dad had good taste in singers, and of course his work on that show was so phenomenal. I also remember him fondly from the Merv Griffin show while growing up in the 1970s. Thank you so much! You should be very proud to come from musical greats like that.
Many thanks for your kind words.
This is wonderful. Judy Johnson is wonderful. Wow. Love this.
Thanks so much. I just added another tune I found at the house of my mom. Look under Judy Johnson for that one.
Wowww how wonderful love your dads work!!!! Upload more
Mort Lindsey provided the best accompaniment of Judy's career, and once they parted company, things were never the same. Most notably, starting in 1967, everything got speeded up. Judy needed someone with sound musicianship and integrity to reel Judy in.
What a gorgeous voice your mom had. You're parents were absolutely magical!
Thanks so much! She still has it. Between them they were a great team.
@@trevorlindsey580 That’s amazing! Did your dad do any of the arrangements or was he just Judy’s musical director? I had read somewhere that Mel Torme wrote the arrangements for the tv show. Thanks again for sharing this! 😊
@@dianepancel-pierce4478 Mel may have done a few, but most of the arrangements were my father's. I can remember him sitting at the piano playing parts with his left hand while he furiously wrote parts for each instrument in that large orchestra on massive staff paper with his right. That was when he was in his element, and when you listen to the music, you can really hear his signature on those songs.
@@trevorlindsey580 that’s incredible! Thank you so much for taking the time to chat and share. Those arrangements are some of the finest out there. 😊
Hermoso y super emocionante!!!!! Digno tributo a Judy... Pero su madre tiene una voz y una pasion para cantar que la hace unica!!!!!!!! Y su padre, el gran conductor de Judy y su banda!!!!! Felicidades y muchas gracias por la generosidad de compartir este bello y sentimental tesoro de amor!!!! Desde Argentina, el mas grande fan de Judy Garland argentino, buauhhhh jajaja, un gran abrazo y Dios lo bendiga!
Wow! Very impressive! Would love to see film footage of a rehearsal. I wonder if any exists.
This is incredible. Thank you so much for posting this. If only they recorded the show in stereo. We'd have a real treasure. I love the new (1964) tail piece of Just in Time bob jennings in Toronto
The Lady has a great voice. Much respect for your Dad's talent. Judy and Mort were a great match.
Good stuff. I especially liked her vocals of "Get Happy"! Thanks for posting!
Great and fun stuff! Thank you for sharing.
Lovely!
So great to hear, and to read the comments below. Would have loved to hear the two "Judy's" sing together! :)
Wow!
Lovely
A really lovely nice and tight band singer sound. Excellent. Oddly, Garland has been quoted as feeling her basic sound was inferior to the fran warrens of the world in some ways. Its a funny world.
Marrrrvelous.
I can't be the only one who thinks she sounds better than Garland....
Judy respected my mother's talent, and knew that she had the best people supporting her in my father and mother. My mother is an amazing chameleon vocally who can sound like Judy Garland as well as Ella Fitzgerald and beyond. She can still sing and will be 100 in a few months!
@@trevorlindsey580 that's amazing, Mr. Lindsey!
