Chocolate: Good Question! 'Liza With a Z' was televised in 1972 and this Shirley Bassey TV Special was televised in 1975.

Okay that makes sense. Music arrangers work in a circle so it was probably the same arranger or someone borrowed the 'Liza" version. So Fosse wasn't a part of the equation. For all we know Shirley's version could have been performed before Liza's and Liza borrowed! Thanks for the info. I know song well and can be easily bored by it as I have staged 2-3 times. Shirley's vocals are knockout!
