Dearest Mr Stritch, I never knew you’d arranged this!!!!! It’s INCREDIBLE!!! You were so smart to include a couple of songs from Mama’s favourite musical, but the cherry on top for me were those bars from Over The Rainbow subtly brought in at the end of Sondheim’s tune, and how “not while I’m around” is made to sound exactly like “why oh why can’t I”? It gives me goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye EVERY TIME. Thanks ever so much! 💓
Liza wasn't lyin' when she said Lorna was a great singer during some interview. I had no idea. Lorna's voice reminds me of Ethel Merman. Liza's my favorite singer of all time.
How wonderful, Liza and Lorna together! Both great, lovely arrangement, how on Earth they were able to keep singing when the quote from 'Over The Rainbow' played I don't know? I was in tears, instantly. Amazing. XXX
Listen Liza is an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy Golden Globe, and Tony award winner. 4 Tony's!!!! Lorna has an Emmy and I think a golden Globe. There is more talent between these two women that 99% of the so called stars of today. If you don't like them go elsewhere on You-Tube.
Which career-wise was unfortunate. She sounds great here, but just five years or so later her voice went downhill. As did Liza's just a couple years later. Unfortunately it didn't stop either of them from performing!
I'm sure Judy would be proud of both of them. They've both had their struggles, and they have a close relationship that any two sisters would love to have.
IMPO, they're equally good! Lorna can hold a note better and keep it in key longer, but, Liza has a lot of power behind her voice.. just a spectacular performance from both ladies, their mother and father (well fathers, that is) would be very very proud of them!
I love these two women. Yes, they are Judy's daughters, and she would be proud of this performance and their great harmonies, but they are definitely their own individual talents that shine brightly. Liza is definitely a legend. Lorna should be recognized more for her voice, but she is an entertaining writer and great Mother...something het Mama would definitely approve of.
so beautiful! Both have been gifted with their mothers amazing talent! They are (w/ their mother) in A League of Their Own w/their powerful and tremendous Voice's I love them amazing women in my eyes Judy Garland voice is &will always be the very best! God rest her precious soul!
Phenomenal performance is so great transforming lucky listener to a rare zone in entertainment, mama would be so proud seeing this captivating Liza/Lorna splendid tour-de-force...Bravo Liza & Lorna, so amazing!
My grandmother loved Judy and Liza....I remember seeing Lorna in Grease II ....This really ties a bow on the gifts that this family has given to America and the world for all of these generations. Thanks fo this post.
Their voices blend and harmonize so well in this video. I wish they would record an album together (and include the song "Sisters) before either or both completely lose their singing ability (they are already, in 2013, not very able to sing anymore).
I love them both ... they are truly Judy's daughters who are a breath of fresh air when they sing together. Today performers are no where close to these two Divas. {{{ Bravo Garland Sisters Bravo!!! }}}
Priceless appearance by the Ultimate "Sisters" and mama would be so proud...takes my breath away seeing Liza & Lorna together and what a tour-de-force...Bravo Liza & Lorna and thanks for such a special treat!!!
What a shame that people made them LIVE in their MaMa's shadow. They were awesome talents in their OWN rights!!!!!! You can not beat their HARMONY!!!!!
Sussette Bjorklund Liza did not live in her mom’s shadow. Liza is an icon in her own right. Cabaret cemented Liza as a superstar and she’s always been her own person. As for Lorna, she had talent but no star power charisma. She did her thing tho and happily became a spokesperson for her mother’s legacy.
Well... when your mother is literally one of the top 5 legends of all time... you don't really have a choice lol. When your parent is that big, seldom will their children reach the same type of legendary status... so I guess it just comes with the territory. But, they are both very awesome in their own right. And their mother was awesome and died at a young age... I'm sure it warms their hearts to know that we still love their mother and them! ……….And though Liza didn't reach the legendary status of her mother, no body can say she isn't her own superstar...no one. Liza is damn near a legend herself... but of course, no like her mama. Judy Garland is the 20th century, a star that bright cast an even bigger shadow... it would be damn near impossible to step out of that... I don't think ppl made them live in her shadow per se; they just really had no choice. But they seemed to be all very loving towards each other.
I think Lorna went in a different direction that Liza who obviously made it her career, but Lorna could sing right there too. Someone said Judy's voice is 50% there and I agree.
Beautiful! *You know, Lorna is brilliant too, but she just hasn't had the vehicles Liza's had, hence the opportunities. I love them both and this is priceless! Thanks so much for posting!!!
Both have such good voices and if I am going to be honest with myself, I feel that Luft has the better voice, in terms of tonality and the like. Minnelli, though, just has that 'one thing more' that her mother had in her voice, which doesn't have anything to do with 'voice', but that something that has the ability to move you, in one note, to tears. Me, like many, would love her/them, to do a 'Garland' album, as Natalie Cole, did. Would be enormous and a sensation. Won't happen but one can hope.
Judy was once quoted as saying Lorna had the best voice out of all of them! But Liza has that special emotion, strength, and charisma that her Mother had.
Wow!!! She taught them how to deliver a song. It was beautiful. My mother was a big fan of Judy Garland's and so am I. Like most people she touched our hearts and she made you root for her. They are talented and though I have always felt that Lorna sings like her Mom alot, you can see Judy in Liza alot also. They both are very talented. I have always wished they would do a tour together and just celebrate their legacy and their own talents. My heart goes out to all three of Judy' children and I pray they all find peace and joy in their lives and careers. At the end of the song i could hear Judy Garland tell them, "alright, take your bow." This was lovely.
Awww I love Liza and Lorna! Great sister performance 🎭. Love the sisterly harmonies. I love the way they move together. I didn't know Lorna had as great of moves like Liza.
Liza has the febrile intensity and charisma of her mother and the ability to act out a song. I don’t know if Lorna has that. To connect with an audience and become a star depends on having that extra emotional quality, not just technical ability.
Lorna... Didn't get the opportunities to create her own Unique Persona in television, Broadway and Movies..like Liza. It's difficult to know for sure. Liza was the Oldest..her Father was the Famous Vincent Minnelli. She was a young adult When Judy was still Alive & declining. Lorna and brother Joey were considerably younger and maybe Lost out.
Judy Garland had to be smiling down on them. They definitely made her proud and she'd have loved to see the performers they became. And their voices blended together so well in this performance!
WOW!!!! this must be a dream, this can't be real. Liza and Lorna together doing an AWESOME act together!! you know their mother was watching from Heaven and cheering them on !!! the whole thing made me smile then brought me to tears because it ended too soon! They need to consider doing a stage show on Broadway based on this excerpt!
Wonderful! I wish I had watched more of the Tony Award shows back then, but I was in the Film/TV biz, and was all wrapped up in them! I Did manage to tape about 30 years of Oscar shows, though! ^^X^^
There definately would not be a LIZA without a JUDY but LIZA is a member of the EGGOT club; she has an EMMY GRAMMY GOLDENGLOBE OSCAR & TONY; MOST entertainers will never be apart of that club. However, JUDY could have been apart of that club 10xs over but her substance abuse was strong. LIZA has had her substance abuse issues but I think her mother's fate is always at the forefront of her mind and she fights it. BOTH ICONS!!!!
Lorna's voice completely overpowers Liza's. It's crazy. Lorna definitely got Judy's vocals, but Liza got her mannerisms and the ability to captivate an audience.
Lorna has had an amazing career, it's just she's not as 'famous'. She has been in many Broadway musicals and plays and she does concerts singing Judy's songs. If you google her you can see what she's done :)
Wow. I knew Liza was good, but I didn't realize her sister Lorna was just as talented. I'm surprised she never became as famous as her sister. I guess Liza just had more lucky breaks.
What a career highlight for me to be the arranger of this medley! Liza and Lorna and I had such fun putting it together!
Dearest Mr Stritch, I never knew you’d arranged this!!!!! It’s INCREDIBLE!!! You were so smart to include a couple of songs from Mama’s favourite musical, but the cherry on top for me were those bars from Over The Rainbow subtly brought in at the end of Sondheim’s tune, and how “not while I’m around” is made to sound exactly like “why oh why can’t I”?

Wonderful job Mr. Stritch!!!
Ditto every single thing @Alberto Fernandez said. Those last bars of Over The Rainbow…❤️
Wow thank you! Now I am enjoying you with Linda Eder
@@jodyellis7345 thank you! I am having a great time playing for Linda!
It’s times like this Judy should of been in the audience watching them with pride , Fabulous to see them together
Yes, she would have been.
I thought the same .... but she was ... over the rainbow watching
@@kimsmith1383 or would of.. ;)
@@JoopSloot
You mean "would've"
@@garysatterlee9455- Read the original post.
I can surely hear Judy's voice in the both of them :,)
that vibrato is a stamp
@@nagarjuna012 - What does that mean? (I'm not a singer) They have both always had loose vibtato.
Is it just me or does lorna Luft have the better voice?Too bad she didn't go to show biz as her sister Liza has.
@@claudiariedel5777 Lorna went into show business as well, just not to the success that Liza did. She stuck to TV and theater mostly.
Simalaritys in both
It's clear that Judy's daughter's are both very talented! They compliment each other veey well!
Yes, her daughters are both very talented.
Lorna has inherited her mother's lungs. What a voice! And, Liza is as charismatic as ever.
Susanne Maaten,how accurately put!!!
Love Lorna!
Just fantastic two tremendously talented siblings. Why do people have to pit one against the other. They are both great artistes.
Who pits them against each other?
Judy's girls!!
Lorna luft never got the appreciation she deserves. Great voice in her own right
Liza wasn't lyin' when she said Lorna was a great singer during some interview. I had no idea. Lorna's voice reminds me of Ethel Merman. Liza's my favorite singer of all time.
Garland
When their voices mixed together,you can hear 50% of Judy Garland in there!!!
You can hear 100% if their Joe was their.. Even thoe hes a man.. Hes voice is good.
Grace Michelle she taught them well
Grace Michelle They ARE 50% the other halffrom their dads. Amazing that talent was passed on.
2 daughters of a true legend right there. 😍😍
100% Judy Genes
Thank you, Judy, for your wonderful family! Love you all!
Just knowing I'm watching Judy's kids perform is goosebump-inducing all by itself - What a legacy!!!!! 💜🌈💜
Totally agree Bruce.
This right here is Judy's true legacy.
Judy must have been watching over the rainbow and was so proud of her girls!💖💖💖
What a sweet thing to say. You have to be right.
How wonderful, Liza and Lorna together! Both great, lovely arrangement, how on Earth they were able to keep singing when the quote from 'Over The Rainbow' played I don't know? I was in tears, instantly. Amazing. XXX

Lorna was only a nominated for the Emmys
Two wonderful, talented women. Such a special performance together -- sisters.
There is no disputing how amazing Liza is but Lorna never got the adulation she deserves. Chicks amazing!
Sonja Dawn Lorna chose to wait later and raised a family first.
Which career-wise was unfortunate. She sounds great here, but just five years or so later her voice went downhill. As did Liza's just a couple years later. Unfortunately it didn't stop either of them from performing!
Also doesn't help that she was involved with Grease 2
But Lorna seems less effected by the fame and popularity than that her immediate family seems to be.
@@talex494 Oh my gosh~ Thank you!! I've been trying to place where I'd seen her. LOL
I'm sure Judy would be proud of both of them. They've both had their struggles, and they have a close relationship that any two sisters would love to have.
i just choked down tears the last three minutes.
IMPO, they're equally good! Lorna can hold a note better and keep it in key longer, but, Liza has a lot of power behind her voice.. just a spectacular performance from both ladies, their mother and father (well fathers, that is) would be very very proud of them!
I love the 2 voices together!
Its so sweet when they just look at each other while the orchestra plays somewhere over the rainbow
Sûre, Judy is with their two talented daughters on stage. Thank you to you both
This arrangement on the tony awards was once in a lifetime happening
Yes Bruce.
Glad it was recorded.
I just found this video
Lorna has such a gorgeous voice! I never realized it
I love these two women. Yes, they are Judy's daughters, and she would be proud of this performance and their great harmonies, but they are definitely their own individual talents that shine brightly. Liza is definitely a legend. Lorna should be recognized more for her voice, but she is an entertaining writer and great Mother...something het Mama would definitely approve of.
U can tell they love each other
This is a perfect song for them both!
Didn't know Lorna had pipes like that!
so beautiful! Both have been gifted with their mothers amazing talent! They are (w/ their mother) in A League of Their Own w/their powerful and tremendous Voice's I love them amazing women in my eyes Judy Garland voice is &will always be the very best! God rest her precious soul!
Phenomenal performance is so great transforming lucky listener to a rare zone in entertainment, mama would be so proud seeing this captivating Liza/Lorna splendid tour-de-force...Bravo Liza & Lorna, so amazing!
I can just see Judy standing in the wings clappin and shouting "Give em HELL girls!"
A beautiful tribute to Judy for these lovely ladies. Truly talented.
My grandmother loved Judy and Liza....I remember seeing Lorna in Grease II ....This really ties a bow on the gifts that this family has given to America and the world for all of these generations. Thanks fo this post.
These two makes me smile
Their voices blend and harmonize so well in this video. I wish they would record an album together (and include the song "Sisters) before either or both completely lose their singing ability (they are already, in 2013, not very able to sing anymore).
They both are unique but certainly got their talent from the greatest voice of the 20th century of her generation.
The ending brought me to tears, what a tribute and with so much love ❤️ 🙏
The great Garland legacy lives on in her very talented daughters and it will go on...
They both sound great both have great singing . Voice like their mom. Lorna was in grease 2 movie
I love them both ... they are truly Judy's daughters who are a breath of fresh air when they sing together. Today performers are no where close to these two Divas. {{{ Bravo Garland Sisters Bravo!!! }}}
wow they sound great together
Priceless appearance by the Ultimate "Sisters" and mama would be so proud...takes my breath away seeing Liza & Lorna together and what a tour-de-force...Bravo Liza & Lorna and thanks for such a special treat!!!
Wow! They sound like their mom!!! They're so lucky. Especially Liza who is my favorite.
What a shame that people made them LIVE in their MaMa's shadow. They were awesome talents in their OWN rights!!!!!! You can not beat their HARMONY!!!!!

Liza and Lorna ARE "talents in their own right" - present tense. They are both alive and well.
PROS! Down to the way they move with so much natural confidence.
I think Lorna went in a different direction that Liza who obviously made it her career, but Lorna could sing right there too. Someone said Judy's voice is 50% there and I agree.
The end with "Someone over the rainbow" is magic.
Mind blown, they are fantastic togueter. They inherited Judy's talent.
Beautiful! *You know, Lorna is brilliant too, but she just hasn't had the vehicles Liza's had, hence the opportunities. I love them both and this is priceless! Thanks so much for posting!!!
I love these women so much and their mom was the legend!!!!
I wish they would come to Chicago and do a show with their brother who is also a singer.
That was fantastic! Thank you so much for posting. Liked, shared and subscribed. :)
this will be my first time hearing them sing together i envisage both voices will make 1 JUDY
Both have such good voices and if I am going to be honest with myself, I feel that Luft has the better voice, in terms of tonality and the like. Minnelli, though, just has that 'one thing more' that her mother had in her voice, which doesn't have anything to do with 'voice', but that something that has the ability to move you, in one note, to tears.

Judy was once quoted as saying Lorna had the best voice out of all of them! But Liza has that special emotion, strength, and charisma that her Mother had.
The stage presence and chemistry, so fabulous! 😍🤩
This is beautiful
wow, Lorna sounds exactly like Judy!
The way Liza started stroking Lorna’s hair to comfort her when the Orchestra started playing a little “Over the Rainbow”... :’)
Talent + Star Quality 🤩
Damn! Can't nobody say Judy aint give them her voice.... Liza is literally her twin... I love that. Seeing how we mirror our parents.
It’s truly only a song Judy can sing but Lorna d I’d a great job, she held back the volume.
Wow!!! She taught them how to deliver a song. It was beautiful. My mother was a big fan of Judy Garland's and so am I. Like most people she touched our hearts and she made you root for her.

Speechless .
Liza always sounded just like her mother.... It's amazing how much !
What a double talent of amazing women!!
Both at their best in this historically important clip.
Oh my God absolutely fantastic....there is nothing like this today......❤️❤️
I never get tired of watching this.
JUDY would be so proud!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been looking for this clip for years! Thank you for putting it up!
two wonderful performers. liza reminds me so much of judy though.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Awww I love Liza and Lorna! Great sister performance 🎭. Love the sisterly harmonies. I love the way they move together. I didn't know Lorna had as great of moves like Liza.
AMAZING....pipes are genetic, obviously....somewhere in there you can hear JUDY!
They made their mother so proud❤️‼️🌈
💖💕💖 When they sing together , I hear JUDY GARLAND perfectly .💖💕💖
Liza has the febrile intensity and charisma of her mother and the ability to act out a song. I don’t know if Lorna has that. To connect with an audience and become a star depends on having that extra emotional quality, not just technical ability.

I really thought they were going to sing a piece of "Over the Rainbow" at the end...
HELLO MY DARLINGS IT'S ME and i am the director WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE !

Made me teary. Just WOnderful!
Unbelievable we are so blessed to get these Angeles from Judy.
They Have Judy's Body Language And Personality
What is the song from the moment 1:26?
Lorna's voice completely overpowers Liza's. It's crazy. Lorna definitely got Judy's vocals, but Liza got her mannerisms and the ability to captivate an audience.
After viewing these two sisters performing, I have a feeling Judy Garland is smiling from the heavens above upon her children.
Judy Garland had so much singing talent It was inevitable that her daughters would inherit lt.
5:01 love the somewhere over the rainbow they snuck in
Lorna has had an amazing career, it's just she's not as 'famous'. She has been in many Broadway musicals and plays and she does concerts singing Judy's songs. If you google her you can see what she's done :)
That was so beautiful. I just love the whole family.
I wonder what Joey Luft's voice sounds like.
You can feel Judy Garland all over their performance and right down to the outfits.
💞💞💞
Wow. I knew Liza was good, but I didn't realize her sister Lorna was just as talented. I'm surprised she never became as famous as her sister. I guess Liza just had more lucky breaks.
Lorna's focus has been more on stage whereas Liza was movies, her one woman show and the like
