One of the most beautiful recordings of all time - contains a multitude of feelings I can't put into words. I first heard this flying home cross-country after a particularly hard year in Los Angeles for the first time on Delta's in-flight 'Great American Songbook Jazz' music channel and nearly broke down in tears midway through. She makes all seven minutes work...
I have watched this performance no less than a dozen times over the last couple months. and I cry most times. stirring; hypnotic. what a voice!!!! no one does it like judy. when battle hymn of the republic is in my spotify wrapped 10 months from now do not ask questions!
The GOAT. Dress it up, up up, down, or down down. He looks incredible in every photo (and he's in on the joke when it's funny and he's in the biggest RRL jeans in history).
“Don’t give up. I mean, try your best. You’ve done something. You’ve actually created something on the screen that’s there and you should be proud of that. It’s physically there now the emotional part will eventually materialize. Cough it up, cough it up gang, cough it up. It actually exists. Which is important. Because pictures are important. You’ve actually tried, you’ve tried very hard. And the trying shows. I want to thank you for trying. And I want to thank you for presenting this thing which evidently comes from deep inside your possible gut. And it has effected our soul in places we don’t realize right now it’s going to take time to seep in, seep out. And um it’s it’s uh it’s really quite an attempt. It’s been attempted and it’s, um, success is around the corner. Thank you. For that experience.”
