Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969), born Frances Ethel Gumm, was an American film actress considered by many to be one of the greatest singing stars of Hollywood’s Golden Era of musical film. Garland’s singing voice had a natural vibrato, which she was able to maintain at extremely low volume. The effects which she was able to project enabled her to convey a wide range of emotion when she interpreted a song.

Her rendition of PlayOver The Rainbow was placed as number 1 in the Songs of the Century project, by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

The song was also chosen by the American Film Institute as the #1 movie song of all time, as part of their “100 Years…100 Songs” list. Four more Garland songs were also featured on the list: PlayHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmas from Meet Me In St. Louis (#76), Get Happy from Summer Stock (#61), PlayThe Trolley Song, also from Meet Me In St. Louis (#26), and PlayThe Man That Got Away from A Star Is Born (#11).

Garland was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998.

She was the mother of entertainers Liza Minelli and Lorna Luft.
