In her memoir, "Times to Remember," Rose Kennedy wrote:

"It was well known that President Kennedy thoroughly enjoyed Judy Garland’s performances. She had campaigned for him in Europe; she occasionally sang at the White House at special events. The President had recently told her: 'We have changed our dinner [time] at the White House so we can watch your show.' Sometimes, he would call and ask her to sing the first part of 'Over the Rainbow'—over the phone.

Deeply saddened by the President’s death, Ms. Garland closed her December pre-recorded program with 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.'”

(And GEORGEnews plays "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" over and over during live chats... Tonight, he wrote in a comment: "CAN YOU HEAR THIS SONG?" And then this in the next: "​ITS OUR BATTLE HYMN!")
