Liza Minnelli "Just A Little Joint With A Juke Box" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@lennyanders1639]

17 years old here, so full of talent...

[@MrRichiekaye]

Yes, precocious. But...Ann Margret...

[@kellyf6624]

16 I think

[@christinekauppinen586]

I had NO idea that Liza Minnelli was that talented ❗😳 I am shocked ❗😲 This video was amazing 👏 ....

[@johngleeson4512]

She matched her mother's talent in every way a rare occurrence in children from superstar parents

[@rr7firefly]

Only 17 years old at the time. An incredibly talented singer, dancer, actress. Liza had enormous presence at an early age.

[@LizaFan]

Ha, she's got everything!

[@tylernicholas7217]

Also, she was the voice of Dorothy in Journey Back to Oz in 1962 (unfinished musical animated film by Filmation until released in 1974) with her clumsy but charming voice.

What I'd give to sit in a little joint with a jukebox... you can have a time on just one dime. Out of this World, Liza ! Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@michaeltuz608]

I must admit that when I read the title "Just a Little _Joint_ With a Jukebox" I thought of something completely different...

The song is from "Best Foot Forward", a Broadway musical from 1941. Liza was starring in an off-Broadway revival of the play in 1963. A cast recording is available.

[@AManAndAMouse]

I was wondering about the dancers. I assume they were part of the number on stage. I see this was just posted yesterday. Someone will see this video and identify the gentlemen.

[@MostlyBrenda]

@@AManAndAMouse I think I recognize the man hugging Liza at the 1 minute mark as Gene Castle who later was a Hullabaloo dancer.

[@TomElvisSmith]

I didn't know Liza appeared on the Sullivan show so early on. Turns out this was part of her first appearance on the show. It's amazing how much she sounds and looks like her mother, Judy Garland. I'd also love to see 1930's popular singer, Arthur Tracy, sing his signature song "Marta" on this episode.

[@timboyden9108]

She looks like her father

[@dimitrisspan276]

OUR PRECIOUS LIZA WHO BUILD AND SHAPE THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES !!!

[@jintzie1950jth]

I was 13 years old. We were still in the era of the beatniks and the Beat Generation. Jules Feiffer drew on those kinds of dance moves in his stoically downtrodden cartoons.

[@pattibrooks1907]

I love to listen to Liza Sing watch her videos of her on You Tube and watch her movies ! This is a awesome video awesome singer awesome song !

[@AManAndAMouse]

A great movie starring Liza (and many other recognizable Broadway actors) is Stepping Out. It's lower key Liza with one song and a beautiful dance solo; and it's a lovely story to boot.

[@danielpatriote6866]

bof

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

That voice doesn't sound like it's coming out of such a tiny girl! Liza was obviously on her way to becoming a major star! ☀️

[@barbarjinks8170]

Love the AHHHHHHHSSSSSS from her as she hits her moves lol.

[@lonestarfriend]

👏👏👏👏👏 Wow!! That choreography! A bit weird perhaps, but quite different and SO refreshing to see today.

[@firewings4742]

Great voice

[@lilac749]

She is gorgeous just like her voice!

[@Cto-mr8hk]

She’s so cute ❤️

[@jamesodonnell6399]

Liza with a Z took over from Mum and she carried her legend thank you Liza brilliant what a talented all rounder you are

[@gsjarvis6669]

3:17, the music and dancing really come alive!

[@brucepappas6298]

She was very beautiful.

[@marcoscamargo7763]

Liza Minnelli é uma artista completa. Desde jovem ela demonstrava essa capacidade inata de ser uma estrela 🌟 que brilhava intensamente. Grande Liza. Nós te amamos! ❤️🙏 🇧🇷

[@sergeypozdnyak7021]

Спасибо.

[@cindyduran4236]

Yeah ...she was so awesome and so her mom.

[@dans9463]

Her mom has that Frank Sinatra expression

[@stevefaure415]

Arguably, the children of fantastic talents usually seem to inherit a watered-down version of their parent's brilliance. Think about Julian Lennon or Jacob Dylan or Bridget Fonda and a whole list of others. But Liza, man, she seemed to take the handoff directly, at least here at age 17.

[@jesincere8589]

Hell Yes. You cannot take your eyes off of her.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I've seen her perform on TV numerous times over the decades and this is the first time I wondered what her management was thinking at this time. You had a beautiful young girl with a wonderful voice and a bundle of talent. Did no one think to contact the producers and songwriters of the day so she could sing teen pop and have a bunch of million selling hits? Where was her Quincy Jones who produced all those hits for Leslie Gore, or a Snuff Garrett and Leon Russell who turned Gary Lewis into a teen idol?

[@jadezee6316]

lol...she isnt a patch on her mothers behind

[@hnc52]

Wonderful!

[@lilychu8912]

@@shave-a-thon3415 I don't know much about Liza except seeing her amazing performances (Liza with a Z, Cabaret, etc.) but it's possible she chose NOT to be a pop singer and instead head towards Broadway or similar. She also might have seen/ heard from her Mom what it was like to be a Hollywood celebrity and decided against it. Seems like she made a good choice as her career lasted decades.

Liza Minnelli I Love You So Much ❤️

I see so much of her mom judy alot in her ❤her face and talent

Just shy of as gorgeous as her mom but she put in work. Gotta respect that

little Judy

[@fantasyprincessgirl]

She sounds like her mom

[@jadezee6316]

really? try listening to her mom sing at 17..or 15 even....lol...sounds like her mom....ever see the Wizard of Oz?

[@fantasyprincessgirl]

@@jadezee6316 yes

[@KajiVocals]

Higher voice than Judy. Liza was a soprano before smoking etc. Judy was always a mezzo.

[@tylernicholas7217]

Her voice is a bit of clumsy but charming since she was the voice of Dorothy in "Journey Back to Oz (1974)" by the animation studio in California: Filmation; only unfinished animated musical film when she was 16 for partial music and voice recording in 1962 which was finished early.

[@surgeryjenny9533]

I liked her singing then..

[@johngleeson4512]

A great talent like her mom pity la la land got in the way

[@Branner]

Choreography looks very Peter Gennaro.

[@lonestarfriend]

What do you think about the outfits on the guys?

[@StevenTorrey]

I thought the same thing!

[@andiedad]

Danny Daniels (1924-2017) was choreographer and director for the off broadway revival musical "Best Foot Forward"(1963) which Liza won Theatre World Award. Christopher Walken was also in that production.

[@paulcanaday-elliott9834]

Who were the dancers? All four are so young!

[@gsjarvis6669]

They look like triplets

[@donaldallison]

She reminds me of a young Amy Winehouse.

[@reneleclerc6119]

A joint and a jukebox.

[@alanrios8572]

Doesn’t that one guy in the beginning look like Paul Anka

[@Ro-Zizz]

sekkund

[@jadezee6316]

you can see she clearly looks like her dad.....but..once she started performing she copied all her moms affectations.......now....if your mom was Judy Garland.....maybe the most talented person...as we define talent......of the 20th century...you would be expected to have some talents...and liza has some talent. btw.....these young men were very good dancers
