That's Entertainment! is the ninth studio album by Judy Garland, released on October 31, 1960 by Capitol Records, arranged by Jack Marshall [1] and Conrad Salinger.

Contents

Garland turned to her former MGM arranger Conrad Salinger for four full orchestra-backed songs, including the title track, “I’ve Confessed to the Breeze” from No, No, Nanette and ”Alone Together” which was selected for The Band Wagon but not ultimately used in the film. [2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three stars and said "Five years into her tenure at Capitol Records, Judy Garland had slipped from the top rung of the label's concerns...Nevertheless, the results were engaging. Garland was in good voice and sang with assurance, resulting in another terrific collection. [1]
