JUDY GARLAND AND MARTHA RAYE: A GLEN MILLER MEDLEY.
Ойын-сауық
Performed by Judy Garland and Martha Raye for 'The Judy Garland Show', taped January 14, 1964. These Great Ladies Of Laughter take us on a wonderful medley of Glen Miller standards, including: 'I've Heard that Song Before', 'Moonlight Cocktail', 'Pennsylvania 6-5000', 'Elmer's Tune', 'At Last', & 'St. Louis Blues March.' This is one of my favorite segments from Judy's show.
Judy had history with Martha Raye, both having been married to band leader, David Rose. She became engaged to David in May 1941, just 2 months after his divorce from Martha Raye. Despite planning a big wedding, the couple eloped to Las Vegas and married during the early hours of July 28th 1941, with her mother Ethel and her stepfather Will Gilmore present. Judy was 19 years old.
While there is some controversy with details - Judy being forced into an abortion - essentially, the couple separated in January 1943 when Judy realized that David was too weak to fight for her and stand up to MGM. Judy always needed ... & looked for ... a protector.

It did air. Judy introduced it, saying something about the rehearsals went so well, they wuod play it for the audience. I was shown this episode by Martha Raye at her home. Wonderful tohear her commentary.
You won't see the likes of these two ever again, that is the truth of it.
This is just all anyone needs in life. Martha Raye's elastic face, Judy's deadpan and tsunami hair. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE WORLD DOESN'T HURT.
Judy Garland is the master of songs! she can play with the melody of any song and sounds always great!
Martha Raye and Judy Garland were both married to David Rose the composer 3 years apart. First Raye in 1938, then Garland in 1941. They are hilarious here.

Wow Mark. I didn't know they both married David Rose. Thanks for this background info. ❤ I like finding out about my favorite stars. Well, Mr. Rose must have loved classy women with great comedy timing. Martha Raye is a pretty woman when she's not doing her hilarious mugging. Pretty good dancer too, like Judy. Back then, entertainers could do it all...act, sing, dance, do drama and comedy.j
Martha Raye could steal a scene from anyone she was that good.
Judy laugh, priceless
Martha Raye was so great she kept her men around and very attentive
What a fabulous voice Martha had.
Oh my gosh Judy and Martha Raye. Insanely good duo and so much fun. Music was fabulous. I wish there was more. Happy happy.
Not many people could one up Judy...Martha could...and did. Martha was funny, but not many people knew she had a beautiful voice. You made our world a wonderful place, Martha. RIP
Judy tells Martha Raye "You're a treasure " at the end.
You can tell that these two ladies were friends, they sure look like they're enjoying each others company. Martha was quite the cut up, and what a voice. And they sing so well together.
Judy's reactions to Martha's antics are priceless! LMAO I lol'ed at 1:51!
Wow ... It is not often you see Judy haveing such a good time. Martha Raye owns this performance. Lol love it. 💘
Martha could hold her own in a song, I didn't know that about her. Of course Garland was always just amazing.
Old songs like this are good for the soul!!!
Woah I never knew MR could SING like that !! 😍💌💫🎤🌟
This is just magical. Judy's humour/comedic timing really came to life during this segment
That's great stuff! Funny, too! Martha Raye sounds as good as she did 20 years earlier.
I always loved Martha Raye. She could put away a song! Listen to her "Feelin' The Way I Do." Never tired of her. Just always wanted to see more of her!
cant stop watching 0.50 over and over again!!! 'you blew it again judy' hahaaa
Judy's so amazing!! I love hearing her sing🙌
Did anyone there know that when judy broke her arm in the year after this show, in concert; Martha raye and mickey rooney took over from her in the second half? One of my favorite Judy shows.
Martha Raye was a band singer in the 1930’s.
The best of the best. Talent, song, comedy. These 2 ladies are gold.
5:14 pure rythm, and "so simple"!!. Wonderful.. 💜🌿
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! When performers were performers!
Two LEGENDS! GREAT !!! Love U Judy. Peace
That just improved my day by a factor of 1000!!
enjoyable, charming, and funny. A goodie.
Wish I could watch those Martha Raye movie again and again
Both so funny! 😅❤
These amazing ladies deserves at least a million views
Both wonderfully funny. Amazing what Judy does with her face. The wings of madness always seemed to be hovering near her.....
Did ever two ladies once married to the same man (David Rose) harmonize so sweetly?
Great chemistry
Today Commemorates Martha Raye's 100th Birthday
Classic!
"All of these Grand Ladies of song (especially the singer's) always needed a Strong man to protect them...Jazz great Ms. Billie Holiday and many other's always needed & had a man whom usually treated them bad and abused them also. Soo very sad..."
Fabulous. I'd love to know what Judy says to Martha at the very end. I know what it looks like she's saying! "You're a _ _ _ _ _!" Great vocals from Martha Raye.
Beautiful and fun
These were fun, real people that had a decency about themselves unknown of in the entertainer's of today. Half of their gestures and imitations during the various songs would be considered politically incorrect today. My were we better off during those years when Garland and Race were singer's!
The Garland was a musical genius. Here's proof. What IS it about HER? Personality + I reckon. She's only alive on the stage - which was her tragedy.
Its hard to believe Martha Raye used to do those teeth whitening dentures TV commercials thru the 1990s and early 2000's..
This is too funny!!! Thank you for sharing! Could someone upload the whole episode? With Peter Lawford? Greetings from Greece

And what does Martha say at 1:19? Can't understand.. Thnx
Very talented lady with a such a tragic life heartbreaking
Class Acts.
THANKS for that - we had some marvellously entertainer here in Germany that time for sure but I love swing and so we didn´t get this here, I´m glad for your videos
It's The Great Nostalgia!
♥ ♥ ♥
David Rose (who composed The Stripper) was married to Martha Raye and left her after about three years to marry Judy Garland.
GLENN.
@pal035s That's it. Thanks. I don't know what I was thinking.
@Vistamister You're outrageous !
They are trying not to laugh
Anita O'Day brought me here
@pal035s Thank you!
Judy Garland what a lost talent
2 greats with 12 ex husbands between them.
Always loved Martha Raye, except for her support for the war in Vietnam. But she should have been a bigger star, except that the powers that be didn't know what to do with a women who was funny.
