I hate the negative comments about Judy - She was the greatest entertainer we ever had - she simply was the best- she gave us her all for her 47 years that we had with her - she simply wore out- God Bless you Judy -

It has been written that Judy was the "queen of rubato" - the ability to draw her breath across her vocal cords like a bow across the strings of a cello. In this video, a few months before her passing, Judy demonstrates how this skill remained. Perfectly in tune, she breathes music, caressing the notes and infusing each beat of music with meaning. Peerless, Judy's unique ability to move excite and touch our hearts is one of the wonders of our age.

Judy gave every drop of blood.Who could ask for anything more.

Judy was an amazing & a real Entertainer. Who else could keep people's attention when there voice isn't at its best? Judy knew how to entertain, if her voice gave out she still rocked the house. People post comments about her being "loaded", how does anyone know if she was?They rehash old myths & attack a dead woman. Her talent was Great & yet when we hear her name, it's linked w/scandal instead of excellence. Why soil Judy Garland's reputation? All she ever wanted was to sing for all of us

This was taped less than a year before she passed away and, although her voice is not as pliable as it once was, particularly on the low notes, it still exists beautifully. Her talent and technique carry her through and she makes the song more effective than it might have been if it were sung by a fresh young voice. She 'lives' it.

"I know I'm gonna breathe the feathers!" haha Judy, I love you. In other words, she is in such great voice here. I love seeing her sing live like this.

Sick and frail??? I know you're defending her but... she looks absolutely adorable and gloriously beautiful to me -- how could she not -- she's the great Judy Garland, for pip's sake.... And I'm amazed that her voice still has the power and dexterity that it has -- I can listen to this over and over and neither tire of it nor find fault with ANYTHING about it..... I've said it before -- on her worst day, she still wipes the floor with the best of them on their best days....

I didn't realize she could still sing so remarkable that late in her career.

This is great. KZfaq has given us back our memories of days gone by with magnificent, talented entertainers. I hope the youth are paying attention to what real talent is. Judy Garland is a multi-talented treasure.

Judy wasn't just a great singer. She was a goddess, miles over human judgment. Singing this classic by Jobim and Moraes Judy has set a new standard in music. I am lucky to have been on the same planet at the same time she has been. And not only she awarded us with song masterpeices but gave us Liza.

I've always loved the song and had no idea Judy ever did it. Just beautiful.

Charisma. You either got it or you don't. And, boys, did she have it.

This song was a great departure from her music history. It seems she really wanted a change. As a fan of Jazz and Judy I would love to had seen her do more of this in what could of been her future.

This song was gorgeous and sensitively interpreted by Judy. I've never heard this till now. I love her dress. She looks good in red. She is so vulnerable here. It makes me want to hug her and tell her how wonderful she is. Judy, you are and will always be loved because you gave love.

Just reminiscing with Judy tonight & found this sensational performance. It's 2022 and I still cry to think of this stupendous talent and her difficult existence. How lucky we were to have her on earth performing for us 😍

Not only is She an amazing singer, but She has such a great "handle" on lyric interpretation. She's the "real deal" !!!

Great song. I wish Judy had come to "'Cassino da Urca", here in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

More I hear her more emotion and compassion invade me

Stunning performance

Here we go again... This LADY WAS DIVINE! Xiii... Her expression and the movement of her hands... Miss Garland is ETERNAL... Thank you for THE WONDER that you "STILL ARE"!...

Watching and listening to this clip, I find that I'm nervous for her at first, as she's tentatively muttering and looking around., and I want to calm her. Then she starts to sing, and I find she's calming me!

my moms favorite performer,so much talent,so much heartbreak I love you judy rest in peace...

I think this is just a great performance! Played beatifully too!

Greatest Vocalist on record.

This is wonderful, thanks. Few know, that it was Judy Garland who broke down that phony '4th wall' between the performer and the audience which produces that intimacy we never forget in a concert and is even now rarely achieved. Actually, it was Lady Day (Billie H.) who started the trend in the smaller clubs, but it was Judy, using her husband, Sid Luft's idea, who actually sat -- feet dangling -- on the edge of the stage at Carnegie Hall and began to chat with the folks between songs...

Judy we love you 😍 my dear you were extraordinary

Gorgeous & exotic "How Insensitive" show Judy Garland still magnificent even when she no longer had industry support...long gone, Judy did things on her own by this point in her life still showing heart & soul with artistic brilliance...Bravo Judy, and you are loved and missed!!! Bless those who did give her support and for shame to those who should have but didn't...

Ah, Judy, Judy, Judy...quanta saudade deixaste! Lá atrás no tempo, há muito tempo, quando ligava o rádio e escutava lindas músicas por você...! A eterna Dorothy do clássico "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

When Judy discovered this she knew what it was. Jobim drew to greats to his music. Revolutionary...actually a little rumba beat to his music made all the difference. they called it boss nova but he learned from classic French composers and Wrote music that could tear out the heart.

What a beautiful song. Judy has touched my heart :)

Incredibly moving. Wow.

Well... that's all about Judy... in other words... it's all about this crazy thing called LOVE. Between humanity and eternity... Judy on the threashold of Heavens... Nothing more to say... just speechless...

She gave me a heart-ache as if I were ending a love affair. She really gets inside you, doesn't she? Damn.

she was just great, no other words can be added, she just was born with this beautiful talent

Judy's interpretation of this song hit me hard with tears... I'm in a relationship but I feel like I've broken up with someone...

The only other singer to thrill me the way Judy did was Edith Piaf ... both women were legends and icons for many generations of women.

How I love her husky voice gives lyrics more accent.

What a beautiful version!! She makes me cry!! i just can say: She lives the song.

This song, along with "What Now My Love?" were my favorite songs to see Judy do in person.

No Doubt about it -in my opinion- the Very/Best/Greatest Live Entertainer/Singer/Story-Teller of the 20th century. No words strong enough to describe what she gives/generosity makes you feel/chills-thrills-goose.bumps/laughs/tears ....

She had got to be my favorite singer of all time. She is just glorious, her voice is eternal.

... and how sensitive she was to be able to do in such a careful way with such ease and without missing a note. Just beautiful and awesome.

Thank you for this video; I wish this footage could be restored and conserved. I have never seen Judy Garland like this… peace and hugs KP

EMOTIONAL DEPTH OF INTERPRETATION THAT ONLY JUDY AND BILLIE HOLIDAY POSSESSED

OMG, my ears have just been spoiled, TY, TY, TY to whomever uploaded this. I can't stop listening and as I repeat it over and over again it gets more and more amazing because I hear something amazing and new each time. This kind of amazing can't be caught all at once.

Que maravilha...Esta interpretação da Judy Garland

My first time seeing/hearing this and it's thrilling to hear her in such control this late in the game. The song sits perfectly on her voice, and you'd think singing with such restraint would reveal tons of vocal damage. Instead, her luscious tone is pretty much intact, and of course her interpretation floors me. Thank you so much for posting this.

Absolute perfection.

I thought she looked great, sounded great--the interview is great--hard to believe this is just 10 mos. before her death. She must've gone downhill a lot in the last 6 mos or so before she left us. How sad, she was so talented, and we all wanted much more of her. She left us much too soon. We love you always Judy.

Wow!!What a big surprise!!!Judy Garland singing a brazilian song!Wonderful!Thanks

wonderfull Judy xx pure natural talent RARELY Seen these days xx IF At all x

. . . yes, there ARE differences but this still is intrinsically beautiful. There are still abundantly obvious traces of beauty in her voice -- which is in remarkably good shape here compared to some other talk show appearances of the time. There are, however, still some documented occasions when her voice was still quite close to its original self. In ANY event, this is wonderful and I Thank You for posting this gem. :-)

Never knew she sang that, I'm from Brazil and I love her, I'm so glad to see her singing a Brazilian song.

Tão perto do fim, afetada pelas drogas e pela vida pessoa, quando cantava era divino. Uma Piaf americana.

Her voice still has the ability to make a song her own.This is the best rendition of this song I've heard,

Beautiful rendition of this heartbreaker song. As always, Garland created a magic no one has matched. At her best, no one could touch her. She cast a spell over an audience like no other. I was lucky enough to see her in person a few times. Wow!

Brilliant, beautiful and heartfelt.

Billie, Janis, Maysa, Elis, Piaf, Dolores, Amy, Dalva. Não tem o que dizer dessas mulheres. Magníficas e únicas.

Extremely brilliant

I LOVED JUDY...HOW IS IT THAT NO ONE COULD SEE HERE SHE WAS NOT WELL...????????

Beautiful Judy. Touches everybody like no other. She died about 9 months after this. ; (

Stunning. Ms. Garland and Peggy Lee could find the true meaning to Norman Gimbel's lyrics.

Grand Video!

wasn't she voted like the best performer of the century?

I stood for 2 hours at the Frank Campbell Funeral Home just to say goodbye to my favorite star when Judy passed away. When I finally got in, I looked at her. It was as if she knew we were there, and wanted to get up and sing for us. If she only could!

Judy é perfeita e deixou insensatez do jobim mais perfeita que nunca, mas tudo do jobim é lindo ;)

When I listen this song sing by this WONDERFUL and GREAT LADY, I remember the beautiful song written by THE ETERNAL CHARLES CHAPLIN " SMILE"... I must smile to hide a tear that was so near... MERCI BEAUCOUP, MISS GARLAND wherever you are...

what can we say? thanks for having all we have..thank u for your talent through years making us believe in love again and again.........

Frank Sinatra's recording of this was my favorite until I heard this, now it is a tie.

This Bossa standard in her voice is awesome....

How insensitive I must have seemed When she told me that he loved me How unmoved and cold I must have seemed When she told me so sincerely Why she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say What can you say when a love affair is over Now she's gone away And I'm alone with the memory of her last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still All her heartbreak in that last look Why she must have asked Did I just stare in icy silence What was I to do What can one do when a love affair is over

She nailed it!

How insensitive I must have seemed When she told me that she loved me How unmoved and cold I must have seemed When she told me so sincerely Why she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say? What can you say When a love affair is over? Now she's gone away And I'm alone With a memory of his last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still All the heartbreak in his last look How she must have asked, Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say? What can you say When a love affair is over... Beautiful interpretation.

She.did.her.best.she.was.not.well God.bless.her.r.i.p..judy

So sad. This reminds us of what we have lost. But thank God we have this moment. Magnificent!

UAU!...Shiii.. WONDERFUL! MERVEILEUSE...

Sheer emotion ❤.. 💜🌿

Thank you so much for this pearl! 🤩

Wow! 🔥💪

Sencillamente maravillosa y maravillosamente embriagadora. Una voz que es un placer para los oidos que invita a relajarse y a cerrar los ojos y evadirse del mundo. Un cariňosisimo beso donde quiera que estés

Love. Love. Love... 👑

@monroenorma Thanks for your thoughtful feedback...Roger Edens said of Judy that she was "all diaphragm", meaning that her breathing technique was solid as any trained singer. Though Judy wasn't a classical singer, her breathing method ensured that she could sing with tone and purity at both the bottom and top of her range with either softness or her trademark "belt". She supported her loudness with a ver well toned diaphragm, and did so to the end of her career and on the 2nd verse here.

Judy can break your heart. As Minnelli said, "She could will you to love her." 🧡

so sad and wonderful

It's interesting that Judy Garland and Claudine Longet do a very similar arrangement of this and both are beautiful versions.

que lindeza!!

Judy's voice is just remarkable. There are moments toward the end of her life where you could hear the wear in her voice, but there were a lot of times when it was in much better shape than her 1967 Palace tour (such as this moment). I would even say that her voice sounds better here than in 1965. It might not have that ring to it, but she's not hoarse here.

wow.. moves me.... Judy.. miss you

I have not heard a better interpretation.

I just love Judy when she sings in half voice. Thank you for uploading... Sweet and tender.

like i said TALENT,the marvoulus Judy

only 1 Judy Garland....1

BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for posting this;

So well said! Thanks.

better than all of you since 1922

Love this beautiful lady

Best version ever recorded.

O que dizer? Judy Garland supera todas as demais interpretações desse clássico! Uma emoção!

HERE I AM AGAIN : ALLWAYS ...ALLWAYS "UNBELIEVABLE " BEAUTY!...

Was never a fan but oh the courage.Loved seeing this.Thanks for the post.
