ALL STAR SALUTE TO THE LEGEND

DUET OF THE WEEK

ENCORE
Remembering Judy On Her Birthday (June 10). Here is Sarah Vaughan singing a Johnny Mercer song that was written for/about Judy Garland.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUDY!
Granted, the song is about a newborn, but the essence of it sure can be applied to Judy. And besides, the tempo is so in the pocket. Thank you, Mr. Cole.  

JUDY'S BIRTHDAY RECORD
From 1943, The Saga Of Baby Gumm, a private comedic recording made exclusively for Judy's birthday. Starring Jimmie Gumm, Keenan Wynn, Danny Kaye, and others    

LADY ESTHER BLODGETT THEATER
Presents the rehearsal for the radio adaptation of Meet Me In St Louis, early December 1946. Judy is in exquisite voice and gives her all for this rehearsal performance. The story line differs somewhat from the movie version and Agnes Smith apparently died between the film and radio versions....  

REQUESTS AND RARITIES
