"Liza has such a wonderous voice. I had not really heard many of these songs interpreted by her before. This is my little Liza treasure. Liza before her CABARET stardom.As a matter of fact one of the only 2 songs that I was not pleased to hear were CABARET and LIZA WITH A "Z" in French. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Liza. I am just tired of hearing those songs in most of her cd's.I truly enjoyed all the other 18 selections. Her interpretations and the quality of her voice are splendid and soothing to the ear and soul. My favorites are: EVERYBODY'S TALKIN', I WILL WAIT FOR YOU, LAZY BONES, HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOIN' ON, COME RAIN OR SHINE.......ect., ect. Refreshing! Her voice sounds so inocent and vulnerable. Enjoyable!This is a nice and beautiful little gem for your treasure box. Sit down, listen, enjoy and relax.Abe :-)"

MINNELLI CLASSICS!!!!

"Many of us fell in love with LiZa when she first started with her great debut album on Capitol Records arranged by the late and great Peter Matz. After several Capitol releases Liza moved to A&M Records and recorded a number of albums that are true classics and this collection is a nice selection from these releases. Sadly these great albums have not been released on CD so this collection is a welcomed release as Liza is in incredible vocal form throughout! Never has "The Look Of Love" been sung with so much sensual passion and "On A Slow Boat To China" is hypnotic and magical. This awesome collection is full of so many classic performances and The Beatles "For No One" is haunting and brilliant! Many songs in this great collection would have been chart hits but radio never programmed any of Liza's music so exposure was limited. I cannot think of any singer who topped this great work or even came close to the quality of these incredible vocals!! Too bad that the Grammy Awards that many a lesser talent received were not given for any of these great works!! Wonderful live performances are included from "Liza Live At The Olympia In Paris" album with "I Will Wait For You" being a sublime standout. Another classic featured is "MacArthur Park/Didn't We" with the late and great Peter Allen on piano. Liza's "New Feelin'" is a brilliant album recorded in Memphis and features an incredible "God Bless The Child" and a totally electricfying "Maybe This Time". Liza is a Legend and anyone who experiences this wonderful collection will understand why!! "Mamma may have And Papa may have But God Bless The Child who's got his own" Liza's got her own and big time!!!!"
