Orchestra leader Mort Lindsey, who conducted for Judy Garland during the early 1960s (including her famous Carnegie Hall concert) died May 4, reports Reuters.
Lindsey, 89, suffered long-declining health and recently broke his hip.
In addition to the Carnegie Hall concert, Lindsey conducted The Judy Garland Show in 1963-64, as well as Garland's final film, I Could Go on Singing.
He won an Emmy for Barbra Steisand's TV special, A Happening in Central Park and also worked with Garland's daughter, Liza Minnelli, in her award-winning TV concert, Liza With a Z.
For 25 years, Lindsey also was musical director for The Merv Griffin Show.
