When
singer
billy
joel,bruce
willis,confessions,liza
minnelli
decided
to
pop
over
to
her
neighbour"s
house
late
one
night
a
decade
ago,
little
did
she
know
that
the
songs
she
sang
in
his
living
room
would
one
day
be
released.
Minnelli,
64,
had
showed
up
at
Bruce
Roberts" Beverly
Hills
house
wanting
to
sing.
“I
just
feel
like
singing,"
the
New
York
Post
quoted
her
as
having
said
then.
While
she
relaxed
on
a
couch
and
sang
20
old
standards,
with
Billy
Stritch
playing
the
keyboard,
Roberts
tape-recorded
the
session.
The
tapes
were
forgotten
until
last
year
when
Roberts
found
them
in
an
old
box.
“They
were
brilliant.
So
I
tweaked
them
up.
It"s
like
having
Liza
singing
in
your
living
room," he
said.
The
duo
signed
a
deal
with
Decca
in
November,
and
now
the
album,
titled
Confessions,
will
be
released
on
September
21.
