How About you ?

Glitter Portrait by Steven Barrett

"How About You?"

Music by Burton Lane

Lyrics by Ralph Freed

"I like New York in June, 

how about you? 

I like a Gershwin tune, 

how about you? 

I love a fireside 

when a storm is due. 

I like potato chips, 

moonlight and motor trips, 

how about you? 

I'm mad about good books, 

can't get my fill, 

and Franklin Roos'velt's looks 

give me a thrill. 

Holding hands at the movie show, 

when all the lights are low 

may not be new, 

but I like it,

how about you? ...

...Holding hands at the movie show,

when all the lights are low

may not be new,

but I like it,

how about you?

Babes On Broadway (1941) was directed by Busby Berkeley 

with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.

How about you dear readers ?

Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand

Garland debuted a weekly television series: The Judy Garland Show, on September 29, 1963. 

The show was critically praised, but the show lasted only one season and was cancelled in 1964 after 26 episodes. 

Despite its short run, the series was nominated for four Emmy Awards.

Although not a success for Judy, the show left a lasting legacy of wonderful performances by Judy and her guests.

I was amazed to hear the performance of Judy Garland and the 21 year old Barbra Streisand in the show.

The 2 divas are singing a wonderful Broadway medley.

Medley song's:

- Hooray For Love / Leo Robin & Harold Arlen 

- After You've Gone / Henry Creamer & Turner Layton

- By Myself / Howard Dietz & Arthur Schwartz

- 'Swonderful / Gershwin

- How About You / Burton Lane & Ralph Freed

- Lover, Come Back To Me / Sigmund Romberg & Oscar Hammerstein II 

- You And The Night And The Music / Howard Dietz & Arthur Schwartz

- It All Depends On You / Buddy G. DeSylva & Lew Brown (lyrics) & Ray Henderson (music)

And in this counterpoint duet: Barbra Streisand sings "Happy Days Are Here Again"

 while Judy Garland blends in "Get Happy."

Judy Garland - Dear Mr Gable, you made me love you

Gabbi post on Myspace yesterday this video. I never saw the movie but i know the song.

You made me love you is a popular american song. The music was written by James V. Monaco, the lyrics by Joseph McCarthy in 1913 and sang this same year by Al jolson. Roger Edens wrote additional lyrics to the song for Judy Garland in 1937 for the movie Broadway melody of 1938 by Roy Del Ruth. I simply adore this sad song.

You made me love you

I didn't wanna do it

I didn't wanna do it

You made me want you

And all the time you knew it

I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes

You made me glad

But there were times

You made me feel so bad
You made me cry for

I didn't wanna tell you

I didn't wanna tell you

I want some love that's true

Yes, I do, 'deed I do

You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for

You know you've got the brand of kisses

That I'd die for

You know you made me love you
