It's darling Liza's 73rd birthday today. All hail!
As my regular reader will know, our Patron Saint of Pizzazz is among the very highest-of-the high here at Dolores Delargo Towers, especially when it comes to this particular blog (she ranks around 7th, after Kylie, Queen Madge, David Bowie, Dame Shirl, Mr Sondheim and the Pet Shop Boys by number of posts).
By way of a celebration, how about one of the most triumphant moments of Miss Minnelli's live career - when the ghost of Freddie Mercury commanded that she lead the finale to his "wake"..?
Utterly fantastic.
Many happy returns, Miss Liza May Minnelli (born 12h March 1946)!
Had absolutely no idea such a clip existed. I've always thought both she and her mom were rockers at heart. Now if there were only a clip of Judy singing "Chantilly Lace" at The Big Bopper's wake.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Judy was often seen in her Ray Aghayan twinset and a leather jacket, riding a Harley Davidson... Jx
DeleteShe is just totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteBut how can you be sure that it not Rick in the video ?
"Maybe thish time, for the firsht time"... Jx
DeleteShe is magnificent, and a lot of her style in Freddie
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of divas, have you heard this?

I can imagine that he based much of his style on her, too.
DeleteAs for the Dotty link - thank you! We shall enjoy listening to that, I'm sure... Jx
That's okay!
ReplyDeleteRuth madoc was brilliant casting for that
