Judy Garland singing “Liza” ♥
“I take one look at you, that’s all I have to do, and now my world is fine” ♫
Okay, okay I know this isn’t a musical and I know it has nothing do with musicals but come on guys how could I resist? It’s a musical Judy Garland singing about a future musical Liza Minnelli!
This counts damn it! XD

I love Shirley Temple so friggin much. This is one of my favorite movies of hers.
George Murphy! I love him! XD
Shirley Temple, “Military Man” - Poor Little Rich Girl, 1936
I always felt so bad for Shirley’s costars. I mean, of the whole audience, I’d say maybe 2 people are watching them =/
Pearl Bailey - Tired (1947)
Alphabet Musical Challenge!: Letter V
Although this film starred the great Bing Crosby, any time Pearl Bailey sings, she tops them all.
Awesome Musical Couple #6 (not in order of importance!):
This clip brought tears to my eyes the moment I saw it. I didn’t expect him to start singing my absolute favorite Fred and Ginger song at the end of their last film together! It broke my heart and brought tears of joy to my eyes, I couldn’t help it. He sang the same song to her ten years earlier, and her eyes say it all. She’s going to miss singing and dancing with him <3
In the future I will dedicate a day (or, hell, a week) on this fabulous couple. But for now, enjoy “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” from THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY (1949).
They made 10 films together that are all great, but take your pick amongst my favorites!: THE GAY DIVORCEE (1934), TOP HAT (1935), SWING TIME (1936), and THE STORY OF IRENE AND VERNON CASTLE (1939).
Awesome Musical Couple #4 (not in order of importance!):
They’re definitely the youngest couple on my list! I mostly love them for their off-screen friendship and not really for their films (‘cause let’s face it: they’re all pretty much the same) BUT I have their 4-musical-film collection and I absolutely adore it. Here’s a scene from BABES IN ARMS (1939) where they perform “Good Morning” beautifully!
Also sing-a-long with them in: LOVE FINDS ANDY HARDY (1938), STRIKE UP THE BAND (1940), BABES ON BROADWAY (1941) and GIRL CRAZY (1943).
Awesome Musical Couple #2 (not in order of importance!):
In this clip, Dick Powell sings “The Shadow Waltz” to Ruby Keeler from a window in GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 (1933). The end of this clip is just so adorable.
Also catch them in: 42ND STREET (1933), FOOTLIGHT PARADE (1933), DAMES (1934) and FLIRTATION WALK (1934).
Believe in yourself, as I believe in you.
When it feels like the world’s against me, all I need is Lena Horne and my favorite scene from The Wiz.
“Somewhere in the stars, I can hear you humming …” Rest in peace, my muse.
A perfect way to end this spam =*)
