• Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and this is the show that brings you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers with some anecdotes, information, and commentary to spice things up. Last April, we did a show dedicated to live performances by entertainers. Today is another show bringing you live performances by entertainers but also pop stars that performed on TV shows.

• 
  

• We are going to start with “Liza’s Medley” from Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli “Live” At the London Palladium. From there, we are going to hear Liza’s good friend, Chita Rivera, singing “This Could Be The Start  Of Something (Big)” from her live performance on the Ed Sullivan Show from 1962. Then we are going to hear Judy Garland sing “Just In Time” from her CBS television show. Peter Allen who was married to Liza Minnelli was tasked with performing an “Irving Berlin Medley” on the Tony Awards which he then incorporated into his act.  And finally, we are going to hear Barbra Streisand sing “People” from her 1987 Concert.  Here’s Liza Minnelli.

• We are looking at entertainers today on “well, That’s Show Biz!” and many of our entertainers pop up on TV shows. We are going to start off this set with David Cassidy and The Partridge Family singing “I Think I Love You”. David Cassidy and his step-mother Shirley Jones were the only ones from the show who actually sang on the show.  On the lawyer show Ally McBeal, a then fairly unknown 20 year old Josh Groban stunned the television audience when he performed “You’re Still You” on the show.  Here’s Davis Cassidy and The Partridge Family with “I Think I Love You”.
