Liberace was a magnificent performer and an astounding pianist. So nice that he always had to have his brother, George accompanying him.
This man raised the bar of entertainment by introducing a level of flamboyant showmanship that influenced artists for decades to come.

Saw him in Vegas at the Hilton in the 70s. He was one of the best acts I saw. Just a FUN show and an engaging man.
The man was brilliant....nothing compares to him now days.
Wow , what a performance!! What talent !!

He never ceased to amaze me .
Nice song. I like that song played in the old days
He creates wonders.
George liberace was a very good violinist
The man was a great pianist. Get over it.
I saw him as a kid in London about 1978 or 79 at the London Palladium
The 50s was the last decade that Americans learned to appreciate old music.

It depends if your family has record collections I grew up with music that was famous all through the 00's 20's 30's, I know about the Great American songwriter Stephen Foster as a young boy the guy who wrote the song he also wrote old Susanna and quite a few other songs people would recognize
Legend 🙏🏻
oh men... his fingers are like horses running too.. fantastic

This is so amazing I love this
Just wish my late gran was with us now,,! She would love this,,! RIP,, ! 🇬🇧♥️🎃 ad , am a kid in the 70s, born May 23rd, 1968, from northern Ireland UK,,🇬🇧

I travelled and maintained large HVAC equipment. Was blessed to have been present in many theaters and churches with incredible organs, musicians, choirs, singers, etc.while they tuned, rehearsed, or performed. Wish I had had an opportunity to record the amazing performances I was blessed to see and hear. Sadly, many of the smaller theaters with what once were amazing organs have closed and/or been razed. Difficult to find the same caliber of entertainers. So sad.
Camptown as in Camptown PA there's a historical marker for it. Dedicated: Thursday, May 15, 1969 County: Bradford Marker Type: Roadside Categories: Cities & Towns, Music & Theater, Sports & Recreation, Writers GPS Coordinates: LNG: -76.2349, LAT: 41.7301 Location: Junction PA 706 & 409 at Camptown Marker Text: Stephen Foster's well-known song, "Camptown Races," was probably inspired by the horse races run from this village to Wyalusing. "The Tioga Waltz," Foster's first music, was completed during his residence in nearby Towanda and Athens in 1840-41. Camptown RacesView Dedicated: Monday, May 12, 1947 County: Bradford Marker Type: Roadside Categories: Music & Theater GPS Coordinates: LNG: -76.29536, LAT: 41.72697 Location: Junction US 6 & PA 409, 4.2 miles N of Wyalusing Marker Text: Stephen Foster's title for the well-known song is said to have been taken from nearby Camptown. Foster's residence at Towanda and Athens may have created the association.
every person in my family loved him on TV, especially the gals!
Thank you.
that was really good!!
Wonderful.
The greatest pianist ever.

Great entertainer, but he would have acknowledged he wasn’t the greatest pianist. He couldn’t play Rachmaninov anywhere close to Horowitz. But Horowitz could NEVER do Vegas.
Everything sounds better when you perform it in tails.

Ah, a more wholesome time. Men were men back, ya know?
Who knew that John Wayne could play the violin ?
Do any of you fans know during which half of which decade Liberace was on TV and ladies would dress up to watch him, thinking he could see them too? Or is this just a myth? Thanks

It was the middle years of the 1950s, when many people also thought if you left a socket open without a light bulb screwed into it, your electricity would "leak out" and be wasted.

brianthecan mm : One absolutely cannot believe what one sees on TV & the web. I guess in some ignorant little pockets of the US, some people actually believed that. Don't forget, the media and entertainment industry like to play up that anyone who doesn't live on either coast to be frightfully ignorant.
LMFAO!
Terry O’quinn anybody?
It would have been more entertaining if he had done it in Black face, ala Al Jolson.

He was so inclined. He was the subject of a so-called "palimony" suit by homosexual Scott Thorson many years ago . The late pianist dismissed it as a disgruntled ex-employee. Thorson today is a resident in a Nevada prison: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Thorson
