My Take
I'll be honest, Judy Garland gets me right in the chest every time. That voice, big, trembling, full of want, could turn a simple song into something that ached, and "Over the Rainbow" alone earned her a forever spot in my heart. She basically grew up onstage, went from a vaudeville kid to the gravitational center of "The Wizard of Oz," and somehow carried that childlike wonder and a bruised, grown-up tenderness at the same time. Her run in "A Star Is Born" floors me, and those concert recordings, especially the Carnegie Hall night, are pure electricity. I know her life was hard, dragged through fame's machinery far too young, and that makes the warmth she gave the rest of us feel almost impossibly generous. Gone at 47, but honestly, she never stopped glowing.
