The first two songs, Blue Butterfly, Land of Lets Pretend, When the Butterflies Kiss the Buttercups Goodbye and Hang Onto A Rainbow show Judy at her cutest. When you'll listen, you'll hear the natural talent and belty voice of "baby Gumm."

Everybody Sing is a swingy tune Judy sings in Broadway Melody of 1938 and if this song did not make Judy a star, the following song from the same movie did, Dear Mr. Gable (You Made Me Love You) was the song that really started Judy off to fame. She sang it first at Clark Gable's birthday party and sang it once more in Broadway Melody of 1938.

Zing! Went The Strings of My Heart is one of the songs that drew me to Judy. Garland, sang this song as her father was dying on the radio, her father would never know how big of a star his little girl would become.

From Listen Darling, comes Ten Pins In The Sky which Judy sings to calm her little brother in the film during a thunder storm.

Judy often sang for radio and one of the songs written for her to sing was Sweet Sixteen.

Over the Rainbow and need I say more? This was in every way Judy Garland's song. She stole our hearts in The Wizard of Oz and immortalized herself in singing this song as Dorothy Gale of Kansas. Also from The Wizard of Oz is We're Off To See The Wizard, It Really Was No Miracle... and a number that was cut from the film, The Jitterbug.

Mickey Rooney was more talented than most people know, as he wrote Ocean's Apart and Judy sang his song beautifully.

This version of Swanee is Performed by a younger Judy, than one might usually hear. This song was simply one of Judy's most sung standards, very different from concert versions. And because both versions are great, here's the version of Swanee performed in the style of A Star Is Born, just so you can compare.

Figaro and Opera Versus Jazz are upbeat songs from a singing battle with Betty Jaynes in Babes In Arms. Along with Figaro, came another duet, Good Mornin'. Another Judy solo from the film is I'm Just Wild About Harry.

From another Garland/Rooney film, Strike Up The Band, came Our Love Affair.

From the film, Little Nellie Kelly, It's A Great Day For The Irish is another swingy tune that Judy would use occasionally in her concerts. Many fans hold A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow as one of their absolute favorites (me as well) and is also a favorite of her ex-husband Sid Luft. Deleted from the film was The Wearing of the Green.

Judy recorded many songs for Decca records, among them two duets with Dick Haymes from his film, The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, For You For Me, Forevermore and Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did.

From Babes On Broadway, Hoe Down is one of my favorite Garland numbers, with Judy back in calico in a barnyard number. Also, there's How About You? A great song that Judy sang as a duet with Mickey Rooney. And Judy's swingy La Conga is one of her best.

One of Judy's best songs to dance to is I've Got Rhythm from Girl Crazy.

Judy had a few songs in the Lana Turner dominated film Ziegfeld Girls, one of which was Minnie From Trinidad.

From Presenting Miss Lily Mars, Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son is a great jazzy tune that Judy uses to stay away from future love interest (in the film), Van Heflin. The most beautiful song in the film is Every Little Movement, which was a duet with Connie Gilchrist.

Another one of my favorite songs is, The Joint Is Really Jumpin' (Down At Carneagie Hall). In a way, as with Jose Iturbi's great talent for the piano, Judy sang a duet with him, using the piano as his voice.

The following songs are all from For Me and My Gal, Don't Leave Me, Daddy is from the first musical scene, I just love the way Judy comes out with "Daddy...don't leave me, Daddy..." The next is the title song and will always be one of my favorites, it's a duet with Gene Kelly, For Me and My Gal.

Meet Me In St. Louis and The Trolley Song are from the classic film Meet Me in St. Louis. Even though Judy originally didn't want to play the part, she considered it to be one of her favorite films.

The Pirate may not have been one of Garland's most successful movies at the box office, but it is hailed as a film way ahead of it's time. One of the songs that is beautifully done with comedic flair by Judy is Mack The Black.

The Harvey Girls added On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe and It's A Great Big World to Judy's list of songs.

Get Happy was a number, one of Judy's greatest, that she did for her last MGM film, Summer Stock. Also very beautiful from Summer Stock is Friendly Star.

One of the best of the Garland movies, brought one of the best of the Garland songs and so much more. The Man That Got Away and Gotta Have Me Go With You are from A Star Is Born. Truly a tribute to the grown up and talented post-MGM Judy.

All of the following songs are alll duets from the Judy Garland show and most of them were used in her concert tours. One could tell Garland adored daughter Liza Minnelli, while in this duet, Together. Judy and Liza also sang We Could Make Such Beautiful Music. With Jack Jones, Judy gave tribute to Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, in a Nelson and Jeanette Medley. From the Judy Garland Show, the Get Happy Medley with Barbara Streisand, one of the most famous duets ever on televison, two giants combining two of their biggest hits ("Happy Days Are Here Again" and "Get Happy"). One of the most beautiful duets during the run of the show was Tonight with Vic Damone.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic was emotional for Judy as she was really close to President Kennedy and when he was assasinated, Judy sang her heart out to him through this song. (In my humble opinion one of the best she ever did). Through the Years another one of my favorites, Nelson Eddy also did a beautiful version of this song. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, these two songs are near and dear to my heart. I Left My Heart In San Francisco and San Francisco. As Long As He Needs Me is beautfully Performed by Judy and exemplifies her soulfulness. Judy always ended her shows with I Will Come Back.

One of Judy's concert and recorded songs was Life Is Just A Bowl of Cherries. One of my very favorite Garland songs is This Is It. Another great concert song is Chicago. Judy also recorded Maggie May and sang Don't Rain on my Parade with Liza in concert. Of course Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with A Dixie Melody was another Garland standard.

Judy's last film was I Could Go On Singing and several of the songs are wonderful, including Hello Bluebird, By Myself, and I Could Go On Singing.
