In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Liza Minnelli

Born: 1946. Living in: United States

Liza Minnelli was born on March 12, 1946, the daughter of Judy Garland and movie director Vincente Minnelli. She was practically raised at MGM studios while her parents worked long hours there and she made her film debut at fourteen months of age in the movie In the Good Old Summertime (1949). Her parents divorced in 1951 and, in 1952, her mother married Sidney Luft, with sister Lorna Luft and brother Joey Luft subsequently being born. Her father, Vincente Minnelli, later married Georgette Magnani, mother of her half-sister Christiane Nina "Tina Nina" Minnelli.

At sixteen, Liza was on her own in New York City, struggling to begin her career in show business. Her first recognition came for the play "Best Foot Forward" which ran for seven months in 1963. A year later, Judy invited Liza to appear with her for a show at the London Paladium. This show sold out immediately and a second night was added to it. Liza's performance in London was a huge turning point in both her career and her relationship with her mother. The audience absolutely loved Liza and Judy realized that Liza was now an adult with her own career. It was at the Paladium that Liza met her first husband, Peter Allen, a friend of Judy's.

Mark Hayes : But the World Goes 'Round

Most notably performed by Liza Minnelli, this Kander & Ebb classic returned to Broadway in the musical New York, New York. Mark's razzmatazz arrangement is a bonafide blockbuster, with showbiz sonorities, hard-hitting swing feel, and full-throttle emotions at the spotlight chorus. "Sometimes you're happy, and sometimes you're sad, but the world goes round."

Arranger: Mark Hayes Performed By: Liza Minnelli

Mac Huff : Theme from New York, New York

It's New York's signature song! Kander & Ebb's homage to the bright lights and big city glitz of the Big Apple, the song was originally recorded by Liza Minnelli, and famously covered by Sinatra. A perfect closing number for pop and show choirs, you'll be reminded why New York is indeed king of the hill, top of the heap!
