Liberace and I used to play this as a duet. My part was “Hey!”

I remember that later on in his life somebody asked him how he played with all those rings on his fingers, he responded by saying "marvelously". He was quite the showman.

A lot of people think Liberace was just a comedian and lightweight entertainer.  The guy was a goddam slayer on the piano.

I actually met Liberace once as a kid back in the '50's. I was walking by myself in front of the old Riviera Theater on Grand River in Detroit , when a Checker cab pulled up and Liberace got out. He was playing there that night. I knew who he was right away as we always watched his tv show. Not being shy , I walked up to him and said hello .He was very gracious and somewhat surprised I knew who he was without the flamboyant outfit he wore on tv . We engaged in conversation for a few minutes and I told him how much my mother enjoyed him and his show. He seemed quite pleased and smiled that great big smile of his and thanked me for the compliments. My mother was quite surprised , and envyous ,that I had actually met Liberace and that he took the time to talk to me -a kid. Never seen his show in person but have this memory of him . Pretty cool.

In 1953 when I was ten years old, my mother took me to see Liberace at the war memorial. He was quite an entertainer, very friendly and after the show he met anyone that wanted to get an autograph. He shook hands with us and signed the program for me. I still have the program 65 years later. He cared about his fans.

What a gifted man!  He really knew how to interact with his audience!  Mr. Showmanship is indeed who he was.  Rest in Peace LEE!

In addition to his virtuosity, it amazes me how he could talk to the audience and simultaneously keep his left hand riff going without losing a beat.

liberace a great man.  my parents took me kicking and screaming to see him at a theater "in the round", circle star theatre in san carlos, ca. i wore my rock tee shirt and jeans, rebel that i was. well, he had a part of his show where the audience could call out a song. he's looking right at me, 2nd row seats. i stood up and yelled "inna gadda da vida". a psyc rock song. he said "ok" and then played it! i was shocked!  we went to get autographs after the show.  he saw me and pointed to me saying "i listen to ALL music.  and you should too!" well i took his advice. he was a great human. i have always remembered his advice. rip liberace:(

Liberace was an incredible entertainer and master pianist.. May he rest in Peace

This is what talent looks like.

The blonde admiring him was Dorothy Malone - still alive at 93! I had a crush on her when I was young! I could still be her toyboy: I'm only 81!

Any piano Liberace played said thank you.

A memory from about 60 years ago. Someone said he was a "prodigy," and it got back to him. He said, "I practice 12 hours a day and they call me a prodigy."

Liberace on GOAT level here. 👍🏻

I almost didn't click on this clip...That would have been a big mistake.

A grey suit never had so much life in it!

When i was young i was too cool to appreciate Liberace. Now i see that ge was an awesome showman and better pianist.

I was 20 in 1971 long hair, into the music at the time, especially Black Sabbath & Deep Purple, mum asked me to take her to see Liberace, I was not keen at all, but it meant the world to her. So we went, I can’t remember the show, but I remember being impressed, he was funny too. I’m 72 now, I still have a photo of us at that concert, I miss her so much.

This guy was an absolute MANIAC at the keyboard! And he always looked like he was having so much FUN! So glad we have these videos to remember him by.

One of the greatest entertainers in the world❤❤❤
