While making Listen Darling, on JJudy and Freddie attended the premiere of MGMвЂ™s big budget Marie Antoinette. The recording sessions for вЂњZing!вЂќ, вЂњOn The Bumpy Road To Love,вЂќ and one take of вЂњTen Pins In The Sky,вЂќ are on the out of print 1995 laser double feature Thoroughbreds DonвЂ™t Cry/Listen Darling вЂ“ these sessions have not yet been released on CD. вЂњTen Pins In The SkyвЂќ and вЂњOn The Bumpy Road To LoveвЂќ were released on the 1996 2-CD set вЂњ Judy Garland вЂ“ CollectorвЂ™s Gems from the M-G-M Films.вЂќ The song was shortened to a chorus and a half for the final film, but the complete pre-recordings can be found on the 2017 вЂњSoundtracksвЂќ 2-CD set (the ballad version) and the 2014 вЂњVariationsвЂќ 4-CD set (swing version). Judy recorded two different versions (one вЂњballadвЂќ and one вЂњswingвЂќ) of вЂњZing!вЂќ for Listen Darling on September 16, 1938, and filmed the sequence on the 22nd. The radio вЂњair checkвЂќ of this performance has survived and is one of the earliest known recordings of Judy Garland before MGM (and musical mentor Roger Edens) refined her style. She famously sang it on Novemon the NBC Radio show вЂњThe Shell Chateau Hour.вЂќ Her father was in the hospital with spinal meningitis, but had a radio bedside to hear his daughter sing. She had been singing the song throughout 1935 (and probably in 1934 as well). Judy sang вЂњZing! Went The Strings Of My HeartвЂќ for her audition with MGM on September 13, 1935. Listen Darling was the last film Judy Garland made before achieving international stardom the following year in The Wizard of Oz. Rhythm and lilting melody are to be found in вЂOn The Bumpy Road To Love,вЂ™ вЂZing! Went The Strings Of My Heart,вЂ™ and вЂTen Pins In The Sky.'вЂќ Gloss of вЂњThe Akron Beacon JournalвЂќ stated, вЂњInstead of star dust, they have sprinkled вЂListen, DarlingвЂ™ with songs by Judy Garland. As one unnamed local critic noted, вЂњit is a gem of adolescent nonsense with laughs galore, interrupted only by choice serious bits that provide relief with pathos and effective tugs at the heart strings.вЂќД®ddie Cohen of the вЂњMiami NewsвЂќ noted that it was the two songs, вЂњZing! Went The Strings of My HeartвЂќ and вЂњOn The Bumpy Road To LoveвЂќ that held the first half of the film together, and although Judy was вЂњweighed down with a maudlin role and manages to shine only when she is delivering her songsвЂќ those songs were delivered in her вЂњbest style, and alone managed to keep us in our seat.вЂќ He also felt that вЂњMiss GarlandвЂ™s forte is comedy.вЂќ Edward E. Listen Darlingwas well liked by critics and audiences alike. It was meant to give Judy more exposure in theaters around the country in anticipation of the eventual release of Oz. Even so, Judy still had some Oz duties including her first recording session for the film on September 30, 1938. Listen Darling was put into production when production on The Wizard of Oz was delayed. She gets two solos and both are winners, вЂњZing! Went The Strings of My HeartвЂќ and вЂњTen Pins In The Sky.вЂќ The former was heavily edited in the final cut, for some unknown reason. ItвЂ™s also got something going for it that most of the вЂњBвЂќ films (or any other films) of the time didnвЂ™t: Judy Garland singing.
