_{HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANCES ETHEL GUMM or JUDY GARLAND | June 10th,1922 - forever}

_{“Nobody ever says how intelligent she was, or how witty. Stories about her are frozen in a pattern, as if she had no life after ‘Over the Rainbow.’ She was the best raconteur, the funniest woman I’ve ever seen. The depth and perception she brought to A Star is Born were extraordinary… I marvel at her sensitivity.” — George Cukor on Judy Garland}

Ed Ward on Arctic Records’ breakout hit and star:

Barbara Mason had had one mild hit on Arctic by the time “Yes I’m Ready” came out in March, 1965. Backed by the Tiffanys and three guys, Weldon McDougal, Kenny Gamble and Herb Johnson, Mason’s untutored, straightforward delivery sold the song, which she says she’d written in imitation of Curtis Mayfield. It went top ten on both the R&B and pop charts and established both Mason and Arctic as forces to be reckoned with.
