Product Description
Media Reviews and More: This historic live album captures Judy Garland's legendary performance at Carnegie Hall on April 23, 1961, ahead of the nationwide theatrical release of the biographical film "JUDY" (directed by Rupert Goold, starring Ren?e Zellweger) on March 6, 2020. Having risen to stardom after being cast as the lead in the musical film "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), she led a tumultuous life. Her acclaimed performance at her first Carnegie Hall concert was hailed as "the greatest night in entertainment history," and the album, released about a month and a half later, topped the US charts for 13 weeks and won five Grammy Awards, including "Album of the Year." Her energetic singing, which expresses American standards with rich emotion, including her signature songs "Over the Rainbow," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "Stormy Weather," continues to overwhelm listeners.
