Performers are repeatedly themselves adoring fans, worshipful of the talent they find in others. readyed with a chance to duet with Judy Garland, her match legends Count Basie, Ethel Merman, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Lena domicile Peggy Lee, Barbra Streisand, and others eagerly seized the opportunity, for the greatest part on Garland's 1963-1964 TV series. Judy Duets--half of a just discovered two-CD set remastered from original tapes freshly rediscovered--preserves these singular collaborations. If you imagine you've heard all the Judy there is to hear, advance directly to track 3 and imprison on. It's a seismic blast from Judy and Babs, singing "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again," then topping themselves with a "Hooray for Love" medley

The other disc is Judy at the Palace, a recording of the closing night of her legendary 1952 gig. This is a younger Garland, capable of holding soul-stirring notes for days. As with no other than the greatest artists, no barrier separates Garland from the audience. When she pours not at home "Rockabye Your Baby" with that incomparable vibrato, the excitement of the evening is palpable.

Between lays Garland takes her shoes most distant giggles infectiously, and chats with the audience, transforming a elephantine theater into a cozy gathering of chamber-fellow room-mates Any limitations in sound recording merely seem to enhance the sweet intimacy of this visit with--no kidding--the greatest musical star of them all.
