Liza Minnelli
Liza May Minnelli (pronunciation: /ˈlaɪzə mɪˈnɛli/, born March 12, 1946) is an American actress and singer best known for her portrayal of Sally Bowles in the 1972 musical film Cabaret which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress.
The daughter of film actress and singer Judy Garland (1922–1969) and film director Vincente Minnelli (1903–1986), Liza Minnelli started her career while in her teens as a musical theatre actress and nightclub performer in New York City. In 1965, she made her Broadway debut in the musical Flora the Red Menace and was awarded the Tony Award for best actress in a musical (at 19, the youngest actress in Broadway history to win the honor). Critically lauded for her dramatic performance in the film The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), she rose to international stardom with Cabaret and the Emmy Award-winning TV special Liza with a Z (1972). Many of her following film projects got mixed reviews and failed commercially, until the 1981 comedy Arthur. She successfully returned to Broadway stage starring in the musical The Act in 1977. Known today as a pop standard singer, she recorded contemporary singer-songwriter material through the late 1960s and 1970s.
Liza Minnelli (album)
Liza Minnelli is the self-titled debut studio album by Liza Minnelli. Released on February 9, 1968 by A&M Records in the United States, it contains her interpretations of pop/rock and singer/songwriters' songs.
Album information
Unlike the songs and performances she is today mostly known for, when Minnelli recorded her three studio albums for A&M Records, she chose to pick her songs by late '60s and early '70s pop/rock and singer/songwriters. The main inspiration for this change in direction were Peter Allen (the singer's husband at the time) and producer Larry Marks. They were both very fond of Randy Newman, the artist who is the most prominent composer on this collection. The overall mood of this album is somewhat quirky. This and subsequent albums for the label, much like the previous Capitol Records ones, failed to sell or chart. Only the third of the albums managed to crack the Billboard Top 200, but none produced any kind of hit. By then Minnelli had decided to go back to the kind of songs she and her mother usually preferred delivering.

16 Biggest Hits: Liza Minnelli
Come on babe, why don’t we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold, but the piano’s hot
It’s just a noisy hall where there’s a nightly brawl
And all... that... jazz
Slick your hair, and wear your buckle shoes
And all that jazz
I hear that Father Dipp is gonna blow the blues
And all that jazz
Hold on hun, we’re gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin, down at United Drug
In case you shake apart, and want a brand new start
To do... that... jazz
Oh, you’re gonna see your sheba shimmy shake
And all that jazz
Oh, she’s gonna shimmy till her garters break
And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother’s blood’ll curdle *
Did she hear, her baby's queer*
For all... that... jazz!
Find a flask, we’re playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on babe, we’re gonna brush the sky
I betcha lucky Lindy
Never flew so high
Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
To all... that... jazz?
No, I’m no one’s wife
But, oh I love my life
And all... that... jazz!!
