And I Wanted Somebody Kind Of Motherly But Who Was Also A Survivor Had Been Through A Lot But Was Rooted In Theater. And So… Liza Was In! She Was The First Person That Came To Mind And Then Producer Rob Cavallo Had Made A Phone Call To Her Assistant And That Was It. She Did It For Free And She Was Happy To Do It.“ He Later Told The New York Times In 2019 “I Love Liza Minnelli. Black Parade Was Very Theatrical And We Had This Song ‘Mama ’ And I Said ‘You Know It Would Be Really Great In This One Part To Get Liza.’ Rob Cavallo The Producer Made A Couple Of Calls And She Said She Would Love To Do It. We Recorded That Remotely — We Were In Los Angeles At Capitol And She Was In New York With A Different Engineer. It Was Really Cool. The First Time I Got To Speak To Her Was Through The Mixing Board.“
