[edit] Discography
Although she had recorded scores of singles of her hit songs for Decca Records since the mid-1930s, Garland began recording albums for Capitol Records in the 1950s. Her first album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 and was very successful. Judy at Carnegie Hall charted for 73 weeks on the Billboard chart (including 13 weeks at number one), was certified gold, and took home five Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year and Best Female Vocal Performance). Many regard Garland's Capitol recordings as her best vocal work. Capitol Records have recently re-released many of the albums on CD and they have proven to be a popular item for many a Garland fan.
