- Judy Garland debuts two original John Meyer songs (It's All For You & Till After The Holidays) on the Tonight Show in December, 1968. While rooting around TJGE vaults for tapes of Judy's appearance on the Merv Griffin show I came across a pristine copy of this Tonight Show. It lost a little in the upload transfer but it is still far better in picture and sound quality than any other versions posted online. Hope you enjoy it. Oh, and sorry about the watermark. If you like this video check out our others, and please look for The Judy Garland Experience on Facebook, we have a group and a page.

The best performer/entertainer there ever was.
Streisand might have a legitimate claim to this title! It's too bad Garland died too soon! It remains to be seen how often they would have appeared together! Her duet with Streisand on her short lived Television series was the best duet she ever performed!
Beautiful, extraordinary and unbearably touching. The most naturally gifted singer we've ever had. She will never be surpassed.
She may be I'll mannered, but I'd give the nod of best singer ever to Barbra Streisand! When she appeared on Garland's show and sang a duet with her, I honestly believe that Garland was more in awe of Streisand than any other singer she sang with!
@@arthurgearheard4701 Can't agree with that. Too much ego in so much of her work. Garland was the exact opposite. These two singers who are so often compared are in fact polar opposites. Garland was all about making an emotional connection with the audience and her best work does that to an extraordinary degree. Garland is unanimously accepted as one of the greatest film stars and concert givers of all time, Streisand is neither.
As for Garland being in awe of Streisand - you must be joking! She performed, unforgettably, and more that held her own with the greatest of the great -Astaire, Kelly, Crosby and Sinatra among them. Since you mention the duet with Streisand (I assume you are referring to the "Happy" duet) it shows starkly the difference between them. Garland is all about connecting with the audience, Streisand barely looks at them.
@John Doe Streisand was just a kid then. Of course no one will ever compare with all of Judy's accomplishments.
Her mere presence on stage commands your 100% attention because your soul is realizing it’s witnessing greatness!
I was in mourning back in November 2014 when my dog Princess suddenly passed away. I remember just going through CZcams and I came across this video. For some reason the song she sang "Till After The Holidays" seem like it was something I was saying in my head after my dog died "why couldn't you wait til after XMas"! It's was like that song haunted me for a while. Fast forward 7 years later, it still haunts me in a good way, I still miss my dog yet I have more strength to move on than 7 years ago.
I’m the 7th like for your comment. I’m sorry about your dog 🐶! Judy has many ways of touching many of us!
Two wonderful songs that she never recorded but were so perfect for her. What an artist.
Its all for you is on Thats Entertainment..capital records 1959..she sounded alot better i that album
No it wasn't. "It's All for You" was written by John Meyer and no recording of it other than this ever appeared on a Judy Garland album.
@@dave00004483 I think he was confused with "It Never Was You" which was on that recording.
@@avifalco Do you know the exact album? (What picture is on the front?) I've searched and can't seem to find this song on any of her albums. Although, Ebay sellers don't list the songs so it's difficult to know it you have found the right one. Thanks
You can "record " anything off CZcams in virtually digital quality through your windows movie maker audio recording option...it's a little tricky but once you get your levels correct away you go...I have so many vintage live songs in my computer that I can save to file and burn to cd or USB stick
SHE WAS
MAGIC!
Magical & magnificent Garland performance features a hauntingly glorious moving vocal, totally a must view every Christmas and in between...looking and sounding amazing, who knew this precious gift would only be around six more months, love you forever Judy & RIP
What a beautiful performance by a very beautiful yet fragile lady. She will never be topped.
I ll take a damaged Judy's voice over perfection elsewhere she was authentic
Only 46. So young. And she seems like she is barely hanging on. Such a tragedy.
I will always remember Judy Garland as one of the few who can laugh, cry but it's all singing.
I'm not a music critic or historical commentator, but listen to Judy start Till After The Holidays. She uses the warmth of her voice to create the lyric, but she's also clearly aware that she can't hit those crescendos without loosing her footing and she demurs and in doing so heightens the emotional text of the song while keeping control of her vocals. Brilliance. Its not about weakened vocal ability, its about contribution and glorying in the moment.
To my mind, you've expressed yourself better than any music critic or historical commentator. You have a great emotional awareness of Judy's genius and this shows what a warm human being you are yourself.
Jonathan Grewcock, thanks, that is a wonderful compliment.
I just thought what you said was really lovely and heartfelt - instead of being critical, like some other people might do, you chose to see the greatness within Judy. I wish you every happiness.
So beautifully said. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Every word, every breath of “Stay with me” was pure, and as you put it so well... glorious
💖
You see, you've got the two Jonathans agreeing with you!!
Hauntingly beautiful!!
Amazing what she could still do vocally and emotionally Six Months before she died! It brings me to tears and cheers every time I watch this. She was extraordinary as a performer and entertainer! Judy was only happy when she was performing and making others happy. Such a tragic but very memorable life..............She will live on forever!
She looks so fragile and pretty... Judy breaks our hearts .. I wonder if she ever realized just how much she meant to all of us. I read John Meyers book found years ago at a thrift store. Pure junk yet riveting .. to see this clip one would never know Judy's life was in complete chaos.
There is a sadness and haunting quality to this performance , because this Great but wounded songbird would be gone in just six months after this appearance. I think that she somehow knew that her life would not be much longer. But she still kept singing her heart out until the end! Thank You! Judy Garland!!!
😥😢😭😭😭😭😭
No one knows when their going to die and she wasn’t a wounded songbird stop reading what others say about her and read what she said dear god she wasn’t a miserable person
@@cameronadair4135 I'm sorry, but you are very wrong. I never said she was a miserable person. You put those words there. Judy was in poor health because of the years of 💊pill use etc. So she was wounded as far as her health. And that is the obvious truth. And she lost alot of weight.
@@sheldoncooper146 once again u are very wrong she was not wounded by anything she was a very strong powerful fantastic woman who overcame all life had thrown at her the pils didn’t make her a great singer she made herself a great singer u only focus on the bad parts of her life instead of the amazing things that were going on in her life
@@cameronadair4135 I'm not going to argue with you, because you apparently have a dillusional perception of strength versus reality. Sugarcoat it. That on you! You have nobody that agrees with you.
What a beautiful moment with Judy. She’s so tender and lucid here. Bless her and so much gratitude for her light and talent ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow. How great and touching. Just mesmerizing!
JG was more than a singer. An artiste. A great human.
I'm in tears; I never heard either of theses songs before. So very touching and beautiful and SO fragile was she....
"It's all For You" should have been a smash hit recording. One of the best songs of Judy ever. I can only imagine she was telling her audience how she felt about them as she was leaving the US. Haunting...
Sad ,but maybe true..
I'm not trying to be a drama maker but I bet you she realized she wouldn't be around much longer so was saying goodbye. She looks very beautiful here as if she is rallying for us one more time!
Miss GARLAND is singing among the stars...SHE IS "ETERNAL"!...
Hurrah for a higher quality version of this performance!!! Thank you for posting it.
Very touching. Like a loving spell being cast.
I love Judy. Pure talent.
JUDY Rocks FOREVER!!!!!
Gorgeous. Touching. Magical. The Lady was pure class.
Thank You for posting this -- much appreciated. I remember this vividly and was relieved that, at this point in time, she looked SO much better than she had on other recent talk shows -- case in point, The Dick Cavett Show taped around this time (merely MY opinion). She looked far more like her self here -- by a mile. There were also instances when her voice was in far better shape than this, at this point in time -- case in point, the Harold Arlen Tribute at Lincoln Center just approximately one month prior to this on November 17 1968 (merely MY opinion, mind you) . . . Yet, frankly, every performance of hers was and still IS magic.
Amazing !!! you can feel her essence in 2020
Her legend lives on🌈
Frail, but what a magnificent singer. Her phrasing and tone are still absolutely present, even though the voice was frayed at the edges by then. Her ability to communicate a song with unparalleled charisma remains beautifully intact. It puts the lie to the myth that her very final years were disastrous in terms of her talent. She demonstrated many, many outstanding performances in those last three years of life. Many legitimate triumphs on stage, though she was living on borrowed time. THIS is exquisite singing, the way songs can be sung by greats even when past their prime.
Thank you, Frances.
The generations that follow will never experience what an amazing talent Judy Garland was!
The first song “it’s all for you” seems apropos. She gave her all for her fans. And the final song seems especially poignant since it’s the holidays as I type this. What an amazing talent gone too soon.
Judy can sell a song like no other singer!
I have to say Mario Cantone introduced me to Judy Garland during his "Laugh Whore" special. After that masterpiece of comedy I watched most of the 15 minute concerts and the '63 and '64 TV show. But this. "After the Holidays" is so hauntingly beautiful. Is it wrong that this 52 year old man's eyes started to leak??? I can only imagine what she is thinking about. When Judy sings and you "FEEL" what she is singing about, that is a sign of a great singer. Judy was one of the Very Best!!!
What a great talent she was...
What a great lady
Beautiful, tragic and touching all rolled into one performance: Lovely and thank you for sharing this
Judy still sounds amazing, even as a little girl my favorite singer was Judy Garland from A Star is Born. No autotune!
Judy if only only I could have met you!!! Wow 2019!!!
At this point her voice was almost like Billie Holiday's at times (during the softer parts of the song). Mesmerizing.
Couldn't agree more. You really do get a Billie feel on some notes x
I'd say it''s more tragic than mesmerizing, Her voice was pretty much destroyed at this point as so was her health.
Josh Adcock Garland’s voice had changed for sure. Hardly “destroyed” though. She could always convey the lyrics of a melancholy song in the most eloquent, moving way. Her voice never lost its ability to act as a conduit to express vulnerability, yearning and loss.
RIP Sweet Judy 😪
So heartbreakingly beautiful… seriously… how can I love and feel for someone so much never having met them or even lived in the same time! Love you so much Miss Judy Garland 😭🥰😘
Once you understand that her life and whats going on at that time is directly reflected through her voice as she sings, then......then you understand and can really appreciate it all. Her performances were directly linked to her life, they were one in the same.
It seems like she left everything on that stage, not knowing that she'll be gone in less than 7 months. RIP Judy, you were the brightest star.
More than any other singer, she expressed her feelings through her eyes. So much honesty, sincerity…truly like nobody else.
No words. Simply the best!!!! Thanks, Judy! See you over the 🌈rainbow!!!❤
you don't see this type of singing anymore. Judy and Lena were the last. Every gesture, every blink of an eye, sold the song. Great singers and actresses
josh gordon Barbra!
I would like to add a male performer, who is a legend, and who I believe to be one of the greatest of all time, as he IS my personal favourite..the beautiful Freddie Mercury. He died at 45, with so much left to offer. 😔 RIP Freddie and Judy. Both gone way too soon.
@@stmichl9433 : I Agree 900 Trillion %
Barbara's concert prices is 'OUT RAGEOUS' cheapest is $1500!!!! At least garland's concerts was affordable even to the average cab driver.
@@GCMC-m2h Garland was in awe of her the time they performed the duet together on her show! They surely would've performed together more often had Garland lived! But I'm sure Streisand would have been polite to her due to Garland's stature as an entertainer!
You beautiful beautiful beautiful soul 💖
I was so taken by that last song, I didn’t realize my eyes were filled with tears. Thank you.
When you got it, you GOT it! ❤ Judy’s voice was wonderful here and when she was given the rest she needed, her performances were outstanding! The powers that be, during her career and who treated her like she was a commodity, should have never driven her so hard. Greed is like a poison and left her broke because of the mishandling of her career and finances. The Greatest Entertainer that ever lived, died sick and broke. My heart breaks for her and the struggles she endured during her all too brief life. God bless your soul, dear lady. Your legacy is unmatched and your fans still love and adore you. If she only knew that even over half century since her passing, that her legacy and immense talent, is garnering more and more fans. My favorite singer ever!
Loving Judy dec 2023❤
Thank you for posting this video. I have never seen it. Wonderful.
Livrou … que voz maravilhosa… como cantava… Judy Garland beautiful

They didn’t know what they had when they had her. God bless her soul ❤️
Just beautiful !!
Fantastic quality. Thank you.
Best Judy performance I ever ever saw . !
Beautiful..I was born the year she passed so I was not able to see her performance live. Thank you for this video..I am blessed to enjoy it now!
Beyond voice. Pure heart & pure soul.
I'll always love my Judy. I know she's in heaven singing for our Lord
Great
I was young when she had her show and I knew then i was witnessing something not of this world. E ery time I see clips of her I cry. She touches me so deeply...there will be no one ever like her again. I would have died in my seat to see her in person. Perhaps in the next life...I love you judy.
I love her humour too...”Why don’t you sell the 🎤 mic...”
She would be gone six months after this performance.
Wow. That first song 😫 a sad commentary on the reality of her life
What a talent
I just found this and loved it. I can't imagine anyone could have sung it better! It's so sad that she didn't have much time left.
I loved her. RIP. 💔💔💔
The different of company people .....and the BEST STAR FOREVER
The audio on this is amazing
Titanic of wonderful talent
I love the best BIG STAR FOREVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hard to believe she would be gone just 6 months later. Truly a loss for the ages!
Fantastic song and the incomparable Judy.
Her and Amy Winehouse. two of a kind, both one of a kind. Incredible phrasing just perfect, they delivered Art for our ears
LA MAS GRANDE !!
She was still so professional even though she was drugged up to the eyeballs. Thank you Judy Garland for making my childhood Christmases magical, when I watched The Wizard of Oz.
I love ❤️ this Thank you Judy❤️🎼 Thank you Buzz Stephens
Love to hear Judy singing It's All For You. Johnny Carson show. After The Holidays.
Je regrette tellement de voir peu de commentaires en français ... je l'aime tellement ... inoubliable !
"... then we can say goodbye" - so very touching when you know she would die just 6 months after that holiday season. This becomes her farewell to her American audience
Música lindíssima... na voz da Inigualável cantora “Judy Garland “
I LOVE JUDY GARLAND… que voz …
Como cantava…lovely
Stunning, touching, dramatic....
Great version! Thanks for posting, although the text is really distracting. Would be even more wonderful without that, although I do understand why it was added.
It's All for You
What is it that makes her voice so unique....is it the nasal quality which makes that incredible tone? Only a vocal teacher could probably answer this question. Thanks.
Great body muscle memory.
She is extremely captivating here. She definitely needed a few drinks to go on stage at this point and that is the sad part. I mean no disrespect to Her what-so-ever. A Very Lovely Soul Indeed.
In about 6 months she would be gone
especial..................como siempre lo fue y sera.......................GRANDE.........................
And she was gone within 7 months. Tragic.
wow--made me happy & sad at the same time--why isn't it published to buy--if it is--please tell me
she could convey loneliness and longing in every note
I always liked "It's all for You". Johnny Meyer wrote this song. However, Mort Lindsey wrote the arrangement and orchestration for Judy for this TV appearance. Books and articles have stated that Judy's appearance was a disaster. This is not true. She looks lovely and performed this song well. Judy came off well. She never complained about anything. She was a charming guest. Her life at this time was very hard financially and emotionally. You'd never guess it. I never liked the "After the Holidays" song. She did Johnny Meyer a big favor by doing his songs but this song stinks. Johnny Meyer had talent. Unfortunately for him, he had a wealthy well to do family. He thought he was going to be the next Cole Porter. All Johnny's peers ( like Joan Rivers) auditioned and performed and made it happen). Johnny, hung out, in his parent's apartment and went nowhere. Judy's only flub was stating that she was going to appear at "The Town and Country" (where she had appeared in the 1950s). She got mixed up. She was booked in London to appear at the Talk of the Town.
Mort Lindsey didn't write the charts for either of these songs. He orchestrated the numbers that Judy sang on the Merv Griffin show later in the month.
Espectacular
Thank you so much for posting the gem like this one. Love Judy !!! Only Mr. Carson seems not to have been much impressed. Never mind... the guy went down into history unnoticed anyway....
This is so very sad. She was happy, healthy and completely rested here. She was broke, homeless and she desperately needed the money for the transportation and expenses to go to London for her engagement at "The talk of the Town". Her future seemed bright and very promising. She was determined that this was going to be comeback that would put her on the very top again. 🤔🙄😟
Very sad ending to a great icon
