Judy Garland won the 1962 Grammy Award for Album of the Year with Judy at Carnegie Hall.
The album documents Garland’s celebrated concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on April 23, 1961. Capitol Records released the live recording as a double album, and it became one of the most acclaimed live albums of its period.
Garland’s performance included standards such as “The Man That Got Away,” “That’s Entertainment,” and “Over the Rainbow.” The recording’s emotional intensity and theatrical presentation made it a major artistic and commercial success.
The award is sometimes confused with a film honor because Garland was also a major movie star. However, this Grammy recognized a recorded live concert album, not one of her films or a movie soundtrack.
