===Music=== [[File:Liza Minnelli (1971).tif|thumb|upright|Minnelli recording in 1971]] Minnelli began as a nightclub singer as an adolescent, making her professional nightclub debut at the age of 19 at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. That same year she began appearing in other clubs and on stage in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and New York City. Her success as a live performer led her to record several albums for [[Capitol Records]]: ''[[Liza! Liza!]]'' (1964), ''[[It Amazes Me]]'' (1965), and ''[[There Is a Time]]'' (1966). In her early years, she recorded [[traditional pop]] standards as well as show tunes from various musicals in which she starred. Because of this fact, William Ruhlmann named her "[[Barbra Streisand]]'s little sister".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Minnelli_Liza/Discography/Index/P3130/1/1|website=starpulse.com|title=Minelli, Liza.

Later that year, she performed "Losing My Mind" live at the Grammys Award ceremony before receiving a Grammy Legend Award (the first Grammy Legend Awards were issued in 1990 to Minnelli, [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]], [[Smokey Robinson]], and [[Willie Nelson]]). With this award, she became one of only 16 people—[[List of people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award|a list]] that includes composer [[Richard Rodgers]], [[Whoopi Goldberg]], [[Barbra Streisand]], and [[John Gielgud]] and others—to win an [[Emmy]], [[Grammy]], [[Tony Award]] and [[Academy Award]].{{cn|date=April 2025}} In April 1992, Minnelli appeared at the [[The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert|tribute concert]] for her late friend [[Freddie Mercury]], performing "[[We Are the Champions]]" with the surviving members of the rock band [[Queen (band)|Queen]] at Wembley Stadium in London.<ref>[http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/queen/videos/the-freddie-mercury-tribute-concert-10th-anniversary-reissue.htm#We%20Are%20The%20Champions "The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: We Are the Champions"].
