Book Musik 029 - "Judy at Carnegie Hall" by Manuel Betancourt

Tosh and Kimley discuss “Judy Garland's Judy at Carnegie Hall” by
Manuel Betancourt from the 33 1/3 series. This live double album
was a milestone in pop-culture history. Recorded in 1961, the album
is an homage to the American songbook, was on the Billboard charts
for over 70 weeks, won four Grammy Awards and has never been out of
print. It was a highwater mark both in terms of Garland’s career
and as part of the cultural and sociological zeitgeist of the 60s.
Garland looms large as an old-Hollywood film icon and as one of the
most celebrated gay icons. Her life was full of tragedy and triumph
and this album is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of her many
triumphs.
