Liza! Liza!

Liza! Liza! (later reissued as Liza Minnelli Sings the Sensational Hit from the Film 'Cabaret' Maybe This Time) is the debut studio album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli, released by Capitol Records on October 12, 1964. The album features Minnelli's interpretations of twelve popular standards. Its release capitalized on the significant publicity surrounding Minnelli following her critical acclaim in the theater, particularly her recent Tony Award-winning performance in the Broadway musical Flora the Red Menace.

The album's production was helmed by arranger and conductor Peter Matz. Recording sessions took place over three months in mid-1964 at Capitol's studio in New York City. A significant aspect of the project was Minnelli's early collaboration with the songwriting duo John Kander and Fred Ebb, which would become one of the most defining partnerships of her career.

Liza! Liza! was met with immediate enthusiasm from music trade publications upon its release, with critics praising the surprising maturity, vocal power, and distinctive style of the young performer. The album is notable for containing an early recording of "Maybe This Time" a Kander and Ebb composition that would later become Minnelli's signature song. The debut sold half million copies in the US.
