NEW FILES POSTED TO THE YAHOO GROUP (for the week of February 5, 2012)

This week The Judy Garland Experience is celebrating Black History Month with a salute to the beautiful and talented Ms. Lena Horne, a ground breaking pioneer of the entertainment industry.

A JUDY MOMENT
Judy takes us back to a moment in 1940 that almost was for Andy Hardy.

BING AND ROSIE #415
This episode of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney's daily radio show originally aired on October 2, 1961.

DUET OF THE WEEK
Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte sing a song that had been kicking around since the 50's but didn't become popular until Clint Eastwood "discovered" Roberta Flack's album with the song on it in a 69 cent bin at a grocery store. Clint featured the song in his movie Play Misty For Me and turned it (and Roberta Flack) into an international hit.

ENCORE
Lena Horne returns with a song that must have been one of the more bittersweet inclusions in her repertoire.

FALSE STARTS AND OUTTAKES
Judy Garland and friends (1963-1964).
