The legendary Judy Garland paid tribute to her friend, President John F. Kennedy, with this emotionally-charged and moving performance of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The president had been assassinated earlier that day in Dallas, and she had been strongly advised by the brass at CBS, the network that broadcast her show, to NOT make any reference to the events of the day.
She correctly chose to ignore the advice and the show went on.
