JUDY GARLAND: 'THE LAST DANCE' WITH GENE KELLY.

Audio performed by Judy Garland on 'The Judy Garland Show,' taped March 13, 1964, dancing with Gene Kelly in 'For Me & My Gal.'
Although more commonly associated with Frank Sinatra, 'The Last Dance' , sung by Judy, is with such profound intensity that it simply shatters emotions. Her expressions of longing, wistful desires ... a hope for her love 'to save me the first dance in your dreams.'
When I chose this song to share, I created several tracks of video that just didn't seem to capture the essence of what I was hearing.
Finally ... watching the theme song sequence from 'For Me & My Gal' ... I added the clip to the audio. Judy & Gene Kelly dancing. Of course, it was too fast ... so, I slowed it down to match the tempo of the musical arrangement ... & the effect, I have to say, is astounding. There are several places where the audio & video are so well synchronized, as if they were meant to be together - like Judy & Gene - for 'The Last Dance.'

Words and music by Sammy Cahn & Jimmy Van Heusen.

It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more
It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
Save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

This audio performance is available on the CD titled 'That Old Feeling: Classic Ballads from the Judy Garland Show.' (2005)
