Order No: 60052 The Judy Garland Show Volume 1 featuring Liza Minelli, Soupy Sales The Brothers Castro, Jerry van Dyke   "The Judy Garland Show" hit a peak in its young history with this show, which was originally aired as Show No.3. The main guest star would be a reason for both Garland's at-ease performance, and the show's success: fresh from her off-Broadway debut in "Best Foot Forward," 17-year old Liza Minnelli was already displaying signs of a talent that would go on to win three Tony Awards and an Oscar. This is evident both in her solo work on the show, and in her duets with "mama." Although Judy and Liza had shared several stages before, their songs were always impromptu, and so this July 16th, 1963 taping of Show #3 is the first "official" performance of mother and daughter. Perhaps the greatest of their team work is the "Two Lost Souls" number: the only time in the series' history that devoted its final moments to a duet. "Come Rain Or Come Shine" is astoundingly powerful. Another highlight is Judy's premiere rendition of "As Long As He Needs Me" from the musical "Oliver", hauntingly delivered, it is also evidence of her ability to refuse network interference, by singing the word "hell" as written for the song, against their wishes. The TV series is the only existing audio and video record the world has of the legendary icon Judy Garland at a physical and vocal peak as an entertainer (not as a character in a movie). The joy, warmth, humour, and soul she displays here will allow you to know what "the original diva" was like as a person , as well as a performer.
