Bye Bye Life - "All That Jazz" 1979 - YouTube

There's a danger in posting JUST the big, truimphant, concluding musical number from a musical - it's out of context.  The clip below is the concluding number from All That Jazz, but I highly, highly recommend watching the entire film.  I do feel I need to explain Ben Vereen's weird and almost rude introduction of  the character of choreographer, Joe Gideon.  All That Jazz is a very surreal film, and throughout there are clips of Vereen introducing Gideon for something, and giving him all the compliments you'd expect (fantastic humanitarian, etc) but when Joe finally choreographs his own death - the intro is what you see.  Also, some of the characters you see close-ups of, or Joe talking to, are from earlier in the film - his girlfriend, his broadway partners, and his wife and daughter.  That helps with the context.  But I'd still highly recommend watching the ENTIRE film!  Oh, and yes -- All That Jazz is a fictional biopic of the life of genius choreographer, Bob Fosse, who directed and choreographed the film.  Fosse is also known for Cabaret, Chicago, and Pippin.
