Signed by MGM when she was thirteen and Decca Records at fourteen, Judy Garland became one of the world’s most beloved personalities. Her role in The Wizard of Oz swept her into the hearts of millions. She could take a song and burn the lyrics right into our hearts. This All-American “girl next door” with a big voice which belied her years, made numerous movies which broke all box office records. Whether on the silver screen or onstage, she could capture us with her heartbreaking vulnerability and spunk in songs like…
The Boy Next Door
You Made Me Love You
The Man That Got Away
But Not For Me
Get Happy
Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart
After You’ve Gone
For Me And My Gal
Come Rain Or Come Shine
Swanee
Her most famous song, Over the Rainbow, became part of her life -- symbolic of all her dreams and wishes. While she continued to search for happiness in her career and personal life, it often eluded her. However, the happiness she gave us can never be measured.
