Imagine seeing this in the 70s and not being able to watch it a million more times on YouTube.

I don't care what anybody says. Liza Minnelli used to sing her entire *ass* off. She wasn't as refined as her mom, but she definitely matched her in conviction, and surpassed her in enthusiasm.

[jelsner]

Liza displays all her emotions up front. I love her.

[phalynwilliams]

Who else is here still loving Liza in 2024?! She is still one of my all time favorites. Such a lovely interview too. It was nice seeing Dick Cavett again too.

[Jonathanbroder]

She can't help it, even if she wanted to. She is SUCH a star. I have adored her my entire life. (And met her once for a rather lengthy encounter and she was EVERYTHING I wanted her to be and could not have been nicer.)

[rjnuzzi]

Hey folks... she's not just a daughter... damn, she's Liza!!! How's them apples!!!!

[grievousangelic]

No digitizing, no Auto-Tune -- just a phenomenally gifted artist singing her heart out. Fantastic talent. Such a joy to watch.

[johniexs]

Sometimes I think Liza's life is an extension of her mother's life. They are both such phenomenal performers, it's likes Liza's life completes Judy's. I love them both.

[DiffrentDrumr]

While singing, there are moments in facial expression that Judy really shines through. It's a hereditary thing! Just perfect!

[JK-kvxl]

At 25 you are at the top of your game and she had it big time!

[Powertuber]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

A 25 year old Liza Minnelli oozing with talent

The bit at 2:23
where she hits her head and rolls her eyes is a really great camp moment. But wow, what a performance. Just great!

[randolphfaust]

They broke the mold. As epic today as the day she performed this live.

[curtischildress]

Brilliant performance...none compares to Liza Minnelli doing this song "Maybe This Time" anytime anywhere. ...It'll always be her song...that's it.

[lizaelliott]

It's incredible when Liza performs, the power and vulnerability, it's just a little piece of life flung at you. And after the song's over she's exuberant and nervous and she's so real and divine all at once.

[anthonycbrown]

Liza quickly became her own Bless her.

[joelrizzo]

She "performs" it to death. I've watched this 10times now and it just gets better.

[pamelawing]

Saw her at Lake Tahoe, at Harrahs in the late 70's. She was fabulous. There is no one like her nor will there ever be anyone like her. She and her mother were absolutely one of a kind.

Take notes children, this is how it’s done ❤❤❤
