Let's Make A Date is a fine extended play CD with two great songs to thrill us all! Liza Minnelli and Johnny Rodgers never sounded better; and my only wish after hearing these two numbers is that we get a full length album by these two awesome artists really soon! The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.

The title song "Let's Make A Date" has that classic, swingin' big band sound that is infectiously happy; and don't be surprised if you find yourself jumping up to dance practically wherever you are! "Let's Make A Date" is enhanced by Liza Minnelli and Johnny Rodgers' excellent diction; and these two greats NEVER miss a cue. The musical arrangement uses the brass well; and the electricity of this tune leaves me begging for more.

In addition, "You Can Leave Your Hat On" gets the royal treatment from Johnny Rodgers who never sings a superfluous note. Johnny makes it sound so easy; but of course we know that it really isn't. Johnny's talent is what bolsters this song and it's a treat to listen to this one over and over again!

All in all, this two song extended play single CD is a must-have for fans of the incomparable Liza Minnelli; and fans of Johnny Rodgers will want this one as well. This makes a great addition to my collection!

One of the first things that this album reminded me of was Michael Buble. I loved how his, and this album have the old fashioned type standards, but perform them in digital, beautiful quality. It almost makes it seem like Liza and Johnny's album is Hip-Hop how well it was sung, and performed by the band on the CD.

I think this CD should have done better Than what it actually has. Although I must admit I thought the "You Can Leave Your Hat On" song was too long by about two minutes. I think about up until the part where its complete silence for a few seconds everything was perfect. But then after the silence came on it seemed like a type of just random trash. Besides that, I loved the song.

"Let's Make a Date" is pleasant enough but not enough Liza to make it worthwhile. The irony of Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" is lost on Mr. Rodgers (as it has been on virtually every version except Newman's original.) Not essential, even to die-hard Liza fans, like me.

As usual, Minnelli is out of tune! She screams! Unfortunately, her screams are just as bad!
