Performer: Judy Garland
Engineer: Paul Reid III Producer: John Fricke (Compilation) Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: All her trials and tribulations aside, Judy Garland was, simply, a very fine singer of American Songbook standards, and LOVE SONGS is a reminder of that. These songs were drawn from Garland's performances on her 1963-64 television show, with the added attraction that half of them are lesser-known songs ("Island In The West Indies," "I Am Loved"). Garland's theatrical yet heartfelt singing soars high above the less tidy aspects of her legend on this set.
It was Judy Garland, not Bing Crosby, who inherited Al Jolson's mantle as America's premier 20th-century entertainer. Possessing both the voice and pure show-biz sensibility for the requisite broad gesture, her own emotional vulnerabilities also gave a special depth to every single performance.
