It Amazes Me

[1] After Liza Minnelli's first album for Capitol Records was released in September 1964, she kept busy with a tour (The Fantasticks with Elliott Gould), television appearances, and even co-starred alongside her mother Judy Garland in a series of concerts in London (Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli Live at the London Palladium).

[5] A bigger budget was also spent for a larger orchestra, with Peter Matz again responsible for the orchestral treatment given to the project.

[8] The first mentioned compilation includes a song that was recorded during the "It Amazes Me" sessions but was excluded from the final tracklist: the medley "Walk Right In" / "How Come You Do Me Like You Do.

"[3] The music critic from High Fidelity magazine wrote that although Minnelli bears a resemblance to her mother, "she possesses her own way of emotional projection," which includes humor and a powerful voice.

[11] He pointed out that in the tracks "Wait Till You See Her" and "My Shining Hour," she recalls her mother but still manages to stand out and bring something new to the music.
