Judy Garland Second Souvenir Album is the second compilation album by Judy Garland, released in 1943 by Decca Records.[1][2] The album was made to celebrate Garland's first starring role in a film, For Me and My Gal, and the success of the title song which she performs with co-star Gene Kelly.[1] Most of the songs are revivals of old standards.[1]
David Rose, Garland's husband, conducted the orchestra on all tracks except "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" and "Fascinating Rhythm" which were recorded on July 29, 1939, during a recording session in Hollywood, California.[3]Victor Young conducted two of the tracks, with modified swing arrangements that enhanced the lively performances.[1]
