A performance at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London was filmed and shown on the BBC.

Fitzgerald also made a one-off appearance alongside Sarah Vaughan and Pearl Bailey on a 1979 television special honoring Bailey.

In 1980, she performed a medley of standards in a duet with Karen Carpenter on the Carpenters ' television program Music, Music, Music.
