The Judy Garland Show
Volume 2
featuring
Barbra Streisand, Ethel Merman
The Smothers Brothers, Jerry van Dyke
 
Perhaps the most remembered episode of Garland's TV series is when the legend shared her stage with the up-and-coming legend Barbra Streisand. Judy personally requested Barbra be on her show, and even came up with the idea for combining one of each of their biggest songs, for their historic duet of "Happy Days Are Here Again / Get Happy" . This appearance was instrumental in leading to Streisand's series of specials for CBS, and made the two stars lifetime supporters of each other. Barbra would later say of the experience: "I was 21 and she was 41. She was extraordinary, and, God, I thought she was great! It was a great thrill to work with her. We had this instant soul connection.”
Other guests include The Smothers Brothers, folk-singing comedy act, and series regular Jerry Van Dyke. As an added bonus, you'll get to see a surprise guest appearance by Broadway icon Ethel Merman, who joins Judy and Barbra for a roof-raising rendition of the entertainment industry's anthem, "There's No Business Like Show Business" .
At the taping of the Streisand hour, the magic between the two singers was evident: ”All concerned seemed awed by the result of the session with Barbra Streisand. It proved a vocal highlight of the new season, even though the current annum is only two weeks old" (Variety Magazine).
The two most beloved female musical stars of all time only worked together once but this proved to be one of these unforgettable moments…
