Of course this is the original version that was written for Judy by Harold Arlen for the film A Star Is Born in 1954. Judy Garland is 32 years old here.
Judy sung the heck out of this damned song. HANDS DOWN. Such talent surrounded by leeches and a mom who allowed child predators and drugs into her child. Forty-seven years old at her death! RIP JUDY!
@@darjacksdj I just don't think that Gaynor was the artist Garland was. Also, James Mason is the best male lead of the four films - he was not praised enough. Garland and Mason together are truly magical and heartbreaking.
I've watched this at least 8 times and it is one of the most awesome performances ever given, in my humble opinion. The live version when she is older is even better. What a woman.
Exactly! I can see her emotional response to each phrase and you might say she was acting but she was also being real. Emotional detachment would have negatively affected her performance; but her offstage life would probably have been better if she'd had more rest and not experienced the yo-yo dieting that she did to conform to an unrealistic standard.
Correct. She's mind blowing. Honestly, I've listened to a lot of singers... I have probably the most diverse taste of anyone I know... and pretty much I'd say Judy Garland is the voice of the century. Which, really, means of all time at this point. Nobody this century comes close. Last century... she's pretty much the best, for so, so many reasons. It's her vibrato, her holding of notes, her knack for knowing when to take it easy and when to unload. I mean, listen to something like the later version of By Myself, from the London sessions, where she starts softly and builds to explosive intensity. Or listen to something like Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home from the 'Judy' album, a performance absolutely loaded with light and shade, with ebbing and surging. Phenomenal is right.
@@ScorpioTobias86 , beautifully said. In my evaluation, only Ella Fitzgerald compares with her as a singer, and of course each was stylistically much different from the other.
She used everything she had when singing: voice, spirit, body, emotion. I love how she moves her hands and body. Watch this again without the sound and see how you can still "feel" heremotions. A true genius.
I have loved this song to the Moon and back since I was knee-high to a mosquito! This is the ultimate torch song of all time! Judy Garland owns this song!
The night is bitter The stars have lost their glitter The winds grow colder Suddenly you're older And all because of the man that got away No more his eager call The writings on the wall The dreams you dreamed have all Gone astray The man that won you Has run off and undone you That great beginning Has seen the final inning Don't know what happened It's all a crazy game No more that all-time thrill For you've been through the mill And never a new love will Be the same Good riddance, goodbye Every trick of his you're on to But, fools will be fools And where's he gone to? The road gets rougher It's lonelier and tougher With hope you burn up Tomorrow he will turn up There's just no letup the live-long night and day Ever since this world began There is nothing sadder than A one-man woman looking for The man that got away The man that got away
She tried so hard. She was so tender, really. Treated like a property, not the fantastic talent that she was. Hard to work with, yes. They started her on pills very young. But, herself a consummate performer, demanding her own best, never pleasing the studio, who never gave an inch for frailty. Strong & frail. Used for $$. But, we, the audience, adore her still. TgT
Imagine: in seemingly one take (less than 5 minutes long) Judy Garland belted out a powerful, magical torch song, whose power to move us has lasted for over 65 years! She not only sang those lyrics, but felt every single note in her soul. What makes it so much more poignant is that Judy never did really find a man - anymore than she found the other side of the rainbow. Ironically, it is partly the tragic nature of her life as a troubled but PRODIGIOUSLY gifted person that will indelibly etch her in the minds of all those with any taste whatsoever, because there is no one today who can even remotely compare to her. In the past, yes: Ella Fitzgerald, Patsy Cline, Doris Day, but today? No one. Maybe that’s for the best.
Control was an issue all of her life. Who wanted to, attempted to and actually did control her was at issue throughout her lifetime. But when she got in front of the camera to sing or onstage to perform, she was in complete control. Of Everything. The audience, their emotions, reactions, her musicians, accompanists, her voice, style, technique, gestures, movements - everything was under Her control and expertise because of the consummate performer she was, making her the unique, beloved and stellar artist she will always be.
There is so much going on here. What starts out as a jam session unleashes the character's desire to entertain. Arms in the air, joy on her face as she becomes that dream she has. Seeing the clip outside the storyline adds the personal dimension. Judy's talent, love life, and personality all rolled up. The new movie brought me here. Hope to see it soon. Thanks Judy Garland.
Kate Hobbs: You’re right, of course, but dubbing was the norm in that era (and, I dare say, due to background noise, it was necessary). In any case, as you realize, it doesn’t detract from the power of her performance, because in post-production, when re-recording, she had to ensure that EVERYTHING was in sync with the expressions on her face in the footage and not just with the movement of her lips. I’d never thought of this before, but that achievement only magnifies her talent.
@@katehobbs2008 Not “Dubbed”!!! Not ever. That term refers to another singer, who sang on the soundtrack in place of the actor on screen. Like Natalie Wood in West Side Story or Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Judy is singing to her own track here. Which was just the way they made movies.
It took three costume changes and about 40 attempts over the course of 4 months to get it to look right though. It wasn't Judy's fault, however. She nailed it, but the first cinematographer got fired because the set was too dark and drab for the old film stock to really work. They had to keep making changes to the set and the outfits and lighting until everyone knew exactly what to do in the final day of shooting.
@@stephenclothier4228 It's the opposite: first she recorded the track, and then she mimed along to it (though not really miming; she's no doubt singing aloud, along to her own recording, though we only hear the recording). So she wasn't syncing her singing to the image, but lip syncing to her own recording.
The best showgirl ever! Adorable Judy was the master of entertainment. She was charismatic, talented, fragile and lovely. She died when I was 13, and I was already a gay teenager in love with her. I have been in love with Judy since 1963 when my dad took me to see the Wizard of Oz in a very old movie palace in downtown Mexico City. I wish I could tell her how many people loves her and admire her today, after 51 years of her untimely passing. Love you Judy. Keep shining in heaven.
There's a great video by The Take called "1955 | Grace Kelly defeats Judy Garland for Best Actress" that gives a detailed explanation for how that happened. czcams.com/video/zDBXKP6L9iY/video.html
Grace Kelly had three hit films that year. And in the early 50s for an actress of Kelly's beauty to play a dowdy housewife, wearing a frumpy sweater and glasses was like Charlize Theron's transformation in Monster. A Star is Born, despite revisionist history, was a huge bomb in it's day. Garland left Metro and her addiction challenges continued at Warners. In those days they did not have the same understanding of addiction that we have today and she was merely viewed as very unprofessional. The delays on A Star Is Born were so extensive that George Cukor left for a time to start work on another film and the studio inserted that Born in a Trunk sequence which makes no sense at all. I keep telling people that you cannot judge the Oscars with a modern lens. You can look back at a number of films that were highly honored and seemed dated just a few years later or the attitudes towards certain performances or actors have shifted. Garland's singing alone in this film is one of the most outstanding displays of talent ever caught on film
That Song! The way she delivers, passion,energy and REAL TALENT. Some in Hollywood should be dead for what they did to her including not winning the oscar for that out this world performance. We still have this classic scene to remind us of her talent and raw power. NOBODY can sing this song like she did
1:37-1:57, 2:23-2:38 and 3:37-3:50 are basically a single note repeated, but she is able to make every note different and express a world of emotion in them. That's genius.
i will never forget the first time i heard this song. i fell in love with it right away and has been my favorite by her ever since. it has real meaning and i too have been through the mill.
For those who “have been through the mill” (whatever the nature of the ordeal - and I am part of that group), it is only natural that this song should be all the more powerful.
I agree. This version showcases Judy's range of talent like no other. She was robbed of an academy award for this. Grace Kelly couldn't hold a candle to Judy!
HeyvTrimpetBoy1955! Thank You for putting this up. I’m blasting it at 3:30 am Marathon Monday 2024. Just what I need to lace up and get to work. Love to all the Judy Garland fans today and every day.
Think you can sing? Try this song, without getting your vocal cords tied in knots. You’re watching a phenomenally talented performer grab this song and run off with it.
Others who sang this song: Sinatra. Streisand. Fitzgerald. Vaughan. Bennett. Minnelli. Garland is the originator, and the definer, 70 years and counting!
One of a kind, brilliant, a true entertainer in every way. This is one of her best performances, OMG & this song! One of the greatest entertainers of the century.
It' s not to late Hollywood to do the right thing and give Judy her oscar. Her kids will thank you and the fans like me will thankyou. This destroys me every time I listen to this version of Judy sing this. No one else can do it better. This is my favorite version of A Star Is Born. Barbara got her oscar and so did Gaga. No y'all need to right this wrong and give it to her kids. Judy was robbed. This was one of her finest performances ever . I love Grace Kelly too but I'm sorry after the performance Judy gave in this movie. It was hands down her oscar.
I bought this movie because its a classic I'd never seen it but it had judy garland and james mason that was enough for me to buy it. This song is so great 30 years ago i would have laughed at it but ive grown and your taste in music changes
This is true genius at work - or should I say play. This genius doesn't come from work but flows as naturally as clouds across the sky to a place you can get beautifully, seductively and completely lost in...There's a Brilliant shine in every word...
Shot in one perfect take. Look closely and you’ll notice that there isn’t a single edit. It’s the first time that a vocal performance was shot in one take for a theatrical film and there’s nothing but smooth camera work from start to finish in her performance as was conceived just before the scene was filmed. Judy produced the film and put most of her money into it. The passion and emotions in the film are very close to the surface because she was close to losing everything as she was much of her life. Poor tortured soul. She gave nothing but love to everyone and so many took everything from her.
My sweet, beautiful Ms. Judy Garland the true "Goddess of Song," such a sad VICTIM of HOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS, WHO DRUGGED YOU, giving you uppers to keep you working & downers to make you sleep when it was time for rest, then had the nerve to question how you ended up an addict! (May they ALL BURN FOREVER in the ETERNAL FIRES of HELL!!!) I am SO DEEPLY SORRY for what THEY DID TO YOU Ms. Garland... for your YEARS of pain & suffering, inside & out, AT THEIR HANDS. Please know dear, lovely lady, that NO ONE will EVER match your extraordinary talent, or the unprecedented, glorious beauty of your voice & your heart & that you will ALWAYS have our INFINITE love & adoration, dear, dear Ms. Garland, for eternity. I pray we will meet one day..."Over the Rainbow."💕💕💕
Here's the thing (well one of many of course ...) about Judy - she never blamed anyone else for her demons and troubles, even if she had ever right and reason to. Pure class. And she never EVER lost her sense of humor. Watch clips of her late in life, clearly under the influence of something, and still sharp and funny as hell. Let's not even get to the singing/acting/dancing ...
@@cockeyedoptimista I think you're right. The uppers (Benzedrine or amphetamine) helped her overcome the hangover from sleeping pills but also suppressed her appetite. A few years ago in New York, people were putting stickers that said "feed me" on ads around town with pictures of malnourished models. Some people say Judy has an extra 20 pounds in the second outtake of this scene. She looks fine. She might have had a nicer life off camera if the studio hadn't imposed its ridiculous weight expectations on her.
LORD BLESS IT ! Judy was an incredible woman! Her dramatic roles were perfect! 2:20 is the best part! And then her hair flip! It was notorious for this movie! How shes explaining what that man did to her. I can relate to Judy in some form. LORD BLESS IT ! Judy was an incredible woman! Her dramatic roles were perfect. her makeup and hair was always on point. And her body was absolutely gorgeous! And when she says "GOOD RIDDANCE GOODBYE!" it was just so awesome lol The hair flip part, I always mimicked that when I was a little girl 🤣🤣 I wanted to be Judy Garland! !
the entire ensemble was perfection and the camerawork to bring the musicians close to embrace her was wonderful. Her excited laugh at the end was touching
Now that’s talent. If young people want to see raw talent without the auto tune and full of heart wrenching emotion this is it. Absolute perfection of a torch song.
THIS is how one doesn't only sing or performs a song but INHABITS a song so that the song and the singer are fused so tightly together that the audience can't separate one from the other.
Every time I watch Judy sing she just puts me in a trance and my eyes are dazzled and I have a huge smile/“in awe” look on my face. She was one of the greatest entertainers to ever walk this earth
The Greatest Generation and the Baby Boom generation produced the best female singers with unique, memorable voices--voices that you can never forget and that truly moved you deeply! Judy Garland Barbara Streisand Aretha Franklin Karen Carpenter Gladys Knight Whitney Houston (born 1963 last of the Baby Boom Generation-I think🥴). Dolly Parton (Every country female singer!! I’m not into country music-but those amazing, unique, memorable voices-They made you feel and live the story they were singing about) India( an amazing Latina singer) Janis Joplin Patti LaBelle Pat Benatar Ann Wilson Linda Ronstadt PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST!
You've covered it pretty well. But I would add Maria Callas, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Stevie Nicks and Cher. You said Janis and Karen - right? Say again...
Judy Garland was robbed her entire life and especially the Oscar for this performance
No one else can touch this. The fact that she didn't win the Academy Award that year will always be remembered as an injustice.
Judy sung the heck out of this damned song. HANDS DOWN. Such talent surrounded by leeches and a mom who allowed child predators and drugs into her child. Forty-seven years old at her death! RIP JUDY!
Judy should have won an Oscar for this unbelievably great performance!!!
This has to be her career best. Yes, I love Wizard of Oz, but this movie is pure, raw Judy.
Agreed. Oscar cheated hee. Period.
She was robbed
Nope. People like to rewrite history.
Absolutely she should have! My heroine ❤❤❤❤
By far the best version of the four films.
@@darjacksdj I just don't think that Gaynor was the artist Garland was. Also, James Mason is the best male lead of the four films - he was not praised enough. Garland and Mason together are truly magical and heartbreaking.
"Mrs Norman MAINE"
You cannot remake a Judy Garland movie because there is simply on one to compare with her, end of story.
I didn’t see the point of the last two remakes.Good as they were,you can’t top perfection
The Remake Is Good But It Will Never Had A Touck Like the 1954 Version .
Nobody can sing this song like Judy Garland
Pure magic ! Judy does not just sing a song; she BECOMES the song. Her vocal abilities are unmatched
I've watched this at least 8 times and it is one of the most awesome performances ever given, in my humble opinion. The live version when she is older is even better. What a woman.
My parents were at her Carnegie Hall performance.
This has to be her greatest performance in any movie. You just KNOW it's real for her because of what the studios put her through.
Agreed about the later version on her television show.
I love both versions, same words sung differently all about emotions
Indeed ! She just slays this song
Anyone else obsessed with how she sings, "that all time thrill, FOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR..."
It's when the chills come.
Phenomenal!
When She Say The Night Is Bitter That When My Chill Come .
Amen sister/brother
honestly it's the "and nerve a new loooove will" that gets me her delivery it's just win after win I adore it
She committed to every note in that song. Phenomenal.
Exactly! I can see her emotional response to each phrase and you might say she was acting but she was also being real. Emotional detachment would have negatively affected her performance; but her offstage life would probably have been better if she'd had more rest and not experienced the yo-yo dieting that she did to conform to an unrealistic standard.

Bee yes in deed, a rare thing.
As Grouch Marx said” Judy not winning the Oscar for this performance, was the greatest robbery since the Brinks job”
Judy Garland when she sings anything, it’s not just her singing it’s an experience in amazement of one of the greatest singers ever!. ❤️
God if this doesn't give you chills or bring tears .. or both? You're dead ...
I got chills just now and I haven't even started the video. This is phenomenal.
Yes!!!
No one sang like her Liza is the nearest you will get what a song what a voice
And her daughter Lorna Luft. She can sing just like her mom and sister
She used everything she had when singing: voice, spirit, body, emotion. I love how she moves her hands and body. Watch this again without the sound and see how you can still "feel" heremotions. A true genius.
Absolutely. The physicality of this performance is just as impressive as the vocal aspect.
She was one of the last mohicans!❤😂
I have loved this song to the Moon and back since I was knee-high to a mosquito! This is the ultimate torch song of all time! Judy Garland owns this song!
That Judy was passed over for an Oscar that year is just a crime. IMO, her finest musical moment, ever.
Nobody sang this like Judy.
Nobody!
NOBODY!!!... EVER!!!.. INFINITY!!!💕💕💕
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away
No more his eager call
The writings on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray
The man that won you
Has run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill
For you've been through the mill
And never a new love will
Be the same
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his you're on to
But, fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he will turn up
There's just no letup the live-long night and day
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away
The man that got away
bless you
@@s0ngbirble bless you and your loved ones doll ;) 💕
Great lyric
She tried so hard. She was so tender, really. Treated like a property, not the fantastic talent that she was. Hard to work with, yes. They started her on pills very young. But, herself a consummate performer, demanding her own best, never pleasing the studio, who never gave an inch for frailty. Strong & frail. Used for $$. But, we, the audience, adore her still. TgT
Judy didn't have to "try". *SHE COULD* - and did.
Imagine: in seemingly one take (less than 5 minutes long) Judy Garland belted out a powerful, magical torch song, whose power to move us has lasted for over 65 years!

Still sends chills down my spine. Back then they really were stars. So very sad Judy lost her battle against her demons so young.
She was incredible!
There will never be another Judy Garland!
Movie-Goers Today: "Shallow" is perfection!
"The Man That Got Away": Hold my beer...
Control was an issue all of her life. Who wanted to, attempted to and actually did control her was at issue throughout her lifetime.

No auto tune at all! True talent!
Funny to think about this.
This song does it for me 100%; especially the ending. They'll never be another Judy!
One long take - no cuts. Perfect.

How in the world did Grace Kelly beat this?
Grace who?? 😳
Exactly! A dull housewife vs. a performing dynamo! I think some strings we're pulled in Grace's direction.
There's a great video by The Take called "1955 | Grace Kelly defeats Judy Garland for Best Actress" that gives a detailed explanation for how that happened.
czcams.com/video/zDBXKP6L9iY/video.html
Grace Kelly had three hit films that year. And in the early 50s for an actress of Kelly's beauty to play a dowdy housewife, wearing a frumpy sweater and glasses was like Charlize Theron's transformation in Monster.

all the old men in the academy wanted to fuck Grace, that's why
This sequence was all in one uninterrupted shot, no breaks!
That Song! The way she delivers, passion,energy and REAL TALENT. Some in Hollywood should be dead for what they did to her including not winning the oscar for that out this world performance.
We still have this classic scene to remind us of her talent and raw power. NOBODY can sing this song like she did
Completely awsome. First time hearing something other than over the rainbow. She should've won some kind of award for this flawless performance
Undisputed Queen of the torch song...I've listened to this dozens of times...still give me chills...
This is epic cinema in a powerhouse performance by an extraordinarily gifted singing actress. A simple set up and simply...Amazing!
1:37-1:57, 2:23-2:38 and 3:37-3:50 are basically a single note repeated, but she is able to make every note different and express a world of emotion in them. That's genius.
"The man that got away" was named OSCAR! lol It's a shame too.
So sad this film won no Oscar...
Zachary Schultz it didn’t, but it should have.
It is a scandal beyond compare that Garland was ROBBED of her Oscar. ROBBED I say!
P Cee by who ?
@@kenchambers7137 grace kelly...u should know this!
i will never forget the first time i heard this song. i fell in love with it right away and has been my favorite by her ever since. it has real meaning and i too have been through the mill.
I knew about it through Karen Walker.
Me too !
For those who “have been through the mill” (whatever the nature of the ordeal - and I am part of that group), it is only natural that this song should be all the more powerful.
She had been through the mill too, by this time, which is why her performance is so powerful.
@@wordforger No her voice was powerful on it's own merit, even as a child with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
I agree. This version showcases Judy's range of talent like no other. She was robbed of an academy award for this. Grace Kelly couldn't hold a candle to Judy!
Grace Kelly had a blockbuster year with three blockbuster movies. She also played against type, especially daring for that time.
Judy's voice vs Grace's looks? Judy wins!!!
Brilliant! Should have got the Oscar for this song alone!
Yep I got chills and cried too. Man o man. They sure don't sing like that anymore
Just absolutely UNBELIEVABLE voice!!!!
Oh Judy Judy Judy!!❤
The only one who can sing this song.
a master class lesson in presentation. Judy could bring it and Judy could sell it.

Bravo!! What a voice. What breath control. Love Judy.
Incomparable - Judy, you were and still are, the greatest of them all :-)
The magic of Harold Arlen and one of Ira Gershwin’s last and greatest lyrics. But Judy proves that without the singer there is no song.
Judy was all of 32 y/o when this was filmed. She'd been on the big screen since she was 11 y/o. What a voice .
Song was made for her and vice versa

(May they ALL BURN FOREVER in the ETERNAL FIRES of HELL!!!) I am SO DEEPLY SORRY for what THEY DID TO YOU Ms. Garland... for your YEARS of pain & suffering, inside & out, AT THEIR HANDS. Please know dear, lovely lady, that NO ONE will EVER match your extraordinary talent, or the unprecedented, glorious beauty of your voice & your heart & that you will ALWAYS have our INFINITE love & adoration, dear, dear Ms. Garland, for eternity. I pray we will meet one day..."Over the Rainbow."💕💕💕
Here's the thing (well one of many of course ...) about Judy - she never blamed anyone else for her demons and troubles, even if she had ever right and reason to. Pure class. And she never EVER lost her sense of humor. Watch clips of her late in life, clearly under the influence of something, and still sharp and funny as hell. Let's not even get to the singing/acting/dancing ...
I think the "uppers" were to keep her figure. Wretched Hollywood; I like your passionate statement.
@@cockeyedoptimista I think you're right. The uppers (Benzedrine or amphetamine) helped her overcome the hangover from sleeping pills but also suppressed her appetite. A few years ago in New York, people were putting stickers that said "feed me" on ads around town with pictures of malnourished models. Some people say Judy has an extra 20 pounds in the second outtake of this scene. She looks fine. She might have had a nicer life off camera if the studio hadn't imposed its ridiculous weight expectations on her.
Max Penn I heard about those stickers. Good ol' New York.
LORD BLESS IT ! Judy was an incredible woman! Her dramatic roles were perfect!
2:20 is the best part! And then her hair flip! It was notorious for this movie! How shes explaining what that man did to her. I can relate to Judy in some form. LORD BLESS IT ! Judy was an incredible woman! Her dramatic roles were perfect. her makeup and hair was always on point. And her body was absolutely gorgeous! And when she says "GOOD RIDDANCE GOODBYE!" it was just so awesome lol The hair flip part, I always mimicked that when I was a little girl 🤣🤣 I wanted to be Judy Garland! !
Pure Class and REAL talent. Forever.
This sends chills down my spine.
What a talent! Judy Garland was one of a kind.
The very absolute best song verdion Judy sang. Bar none. Genious. Nobody touches her in this song, not now, not then.
the entire ensemble was perfection and the camerawork to bring the musicians close to embrace her was wonderful. Her excited laugh at the end was touching
That Esther Blodgett sure can sell a song.
Kills me *every* time.
Now that’s talent. If young people want to see raw talent without the auto tune and full of heart wrenching emotion this is it. Absolute perfection of a torch song.
Truly amazing what a voice Rip Judy
She lives every word of the song as she sings it. I got chills. Pure magic.
The best song of her career as far as I'm concerned
Stunning performance of an outstanding song by a truly great singer.
Probably one of greatest scenes on film. Handsdown
Her singing this song with such passion yet tenderness does something to me!
Watching this today on TCM. A most wonderful way to celebrate Judy's birthday!
It just does not get any better than this absolute masterful vocal by Judy. ------MJL< 76 y/o
artists and music from these times is the BEST
That song was 2019 Lit,Beautifully sung and amazing, Okay Ms Judy!
I forgot how magnificent James Mason was! Check out the 1947 British film "Odd Man Out!
Absolute perfection - the emotion, the phrasing, the stunning voice and delivery - the one and only Judy.
This dame just gets to you......
THIS is how one doesn't only sing or performs a song but INHABITS a song so that the song and the singer are fused so tightly together that the audience can't separate one from the other.
She deserved the oscar...(if only for this!)
Every Movie Scene In This Movie Deserve An Oscar .
Every time I watch Judy sing she just puts me in a trance and my eyes are dazzled and I have a huge smile/“in awe” look on my face. She was one of the greatest entertainers to ever walk this earth
Perfection!
Ño one does this like Judy Garland! A true star! Gone to soon!
Judy Garland Earns First Top 10 on a Billboard Chart Since 1945 With 'The Man That Got Away' today Dec. 14, 2019
Second only to Embraceable You (Girl Crazy) in my book. She had the pipes and persona like no other. To quote the song, she's irreplaceable!

You've covered it pretty well. But I would add Maria Callas, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Stevie Nicks and Cher. You said Janis and Karen - right? Say again...
My choir teacher assigned me this song! I'm so exited :D
Warner Bros should’ve shown this to MGM and say: “See what you just threw away?!”
This song is so heartbreaking, I love it
an icon, a legend
Just wow! One of a kind talent at her peak.
