Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a Juvenile Academy Award, won a Golden Globe Award, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her work in films, as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award. She had a contralto singing range.
After appearing in Vaudeville theater with her sisters, Judy was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney, and the film with which she would be most identified, "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). After 15 years, Judy was released from the studio but gained renewed success through record-breaking concert appearances, including a critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall concert, a well-regarded but short-lived television series, and a return to film acting beginning with "A Star Is Born" (1954).
Despite her professional triumphs, Judy battled personal problems throughout her life. Insecure about her appearance, her feelings were compounded by film executives who told her she was unattractive and overweight. Plied with drugs to control her weight and increase her productivity, Garland endured a decades-long struggle with addiction. Garland was plagued by financial instability, often owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes, and her first four of five marriages ended in divorce. She attempted suicide on a number of occasions. Garland died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 47, leaving children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, and Joey Luft.
Legacy
Judy Garland's legacy as a performer and a personality has endured long after her death. The American Film Institute named Garland eighth among the "Greatest Female Stars of All Time". She has been the subject of over two dozen biographies since her death, including the well-received "Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir" by her daughter, Lorna Luft. Luft's memoir was later adapted into the multiple award-winning television mini-series, "Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows", which won Emmy Awards for two actresses portraying Garland (Tammy Blanchard and Judy Davis).
Garland was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. These include "Over the Rainbow," which was ranked as the number one movie song of all time in the American Film Institute's "100 Years...100 Songs" list. Four more Garland songs are featured on the list: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (#76), "Get Happy" (#61), "The Trolley Song" (#26), and "The Man That Got Away" (#11).
Judy Garland has twice been honored on U.S. postage stamps, in 1989 (as Dorothy) and again in 2006 (as Vicki Lester from A Star Is Born).

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then -oh, why can't I?
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then -oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
@shipyaad
Ok so first of all, Judy is a gem in this performance. That descending portamento about halfway through ("...that's where you'll find me..."), maintaining vibrato through the ritardando, taking more time than the orchestra before rejoining, hugely varying her inflection, pacing, dynamics, color at the return of the melody... This is SO much more than good tone and time, it is excellent, excellent, excellent musicianship, and the whole thing is like that. It's honestly one of the best performances of anything, ever. And she recorded it at sixteen years old. Good God, the talent of this girl! The soul of her!
And then there's the song. IT'S IN Ab MAJOR.
WHAT?
How the HELL do you write a song that hits the melodic cry button the whole time and it's in a major key? Harold Arlen just starts out with an octave jump and takes the downward half step to ^7 (it's the second note, what is this?), on a downbeat (what the...), and COMMITS to it by hanging on for a full beat before taking a downward skip (Jesus, Harold!) to ^5, reversing himself and stepping back up the scale, again lingering on ^7 before returning to Tonic. He completely avoids the second, third, and forth scale degrees, so the melody never feels like it's completely tethered to the major tonality. The melody is as longing as its singer - and ^5 only gets an eighth note as a turnaround on a weak beat. What. The. Hell! He doesn't let the vocal line spend any time defining the key, like, at all.
Then he treats that melody like it's a single note, working and varying the entire structure downward through the scale until he finally reaches the bridge. This is astonishing work.
And then there's this incredible color and structure in the orchestration, the sensitivity of the conductor, the beautifully performed solo instrumental countermelodies, the lyrics, the vocal coaching, the incredible quality of a recording from '39... it's a landmark for a reason. This recording is pure magic.

No matter how many times artist has covered "Over The Rainbow", nothing beats the original singer. Judy Garland owned this song.

@FreeSociety1
The way Judy Garland sings this song both technically and artistically here (at just 16 years old) is the most perfect version of the song that was ever done. I doubt even the songwriters of this song had ever conceived it to be vocalized in such a stunning manner. No one can duplicate this ... (not even Judy in later years) ... it is total perfection.
