Like most successful people Liberace was a hard worker to make it big. He also took risks to be the first to do things in entertainment that are the norm today.

As a young, somewhat poor, boy in the LA area in the 1950's, I'll never forget him. Near Xmas time, he, dressed as Santa, sat and kids would walk up, one by one, to him, in his driveway, and he'd give them a toy. Hundreds of kids too. He, gave toys to all the kids, but it was the 50's- and I saw, they had two lines, one for black kids, the other for white kids. I'll never forget his rooftop piano, it was the one unique thing, that kept this memory alive. As a kid, just happy for a Christmas Toy, his lifestyle was not our concern, it was his generosity, and love of others, that's most remembered..

No one can deny the reality of his talent as a pianist and entertainer and that’s what millions of people around the world enjoyed in his shows. It was such a memorable weekend for me seeing two of the greatest performers - Liberace and Liza Minnelli! Liza was apparently in Las Vegas for the first time in nine years so it was ‘the icing on the cake’ as far as I was concerned and even more so because Joel Grey was in her show too.

It's one of my earliest and most cherished memories.I remember his costume changes, his voice, his smile, his hands bouncing high above the keyboard while he played...

RIP Liberace There never will be another like you. We saw him live back in 1960 at the Latin Casino in NJ. Sat right up front as it was my parents 25th wedding anniversary. We got a message to him before that explaining their anniversary and how we all loved him. He played my mom and dad song, the Anniversary Walt and then Ave Maria. I doubt there was a dry eye in the house. Before he died and I was finishing up a casino in Las Vegas, i got on a tour bus and when we went by his home, he came out, waved, signed autographs and has his dogs with him. A true showman and even now these memories bring a tight throat and tears to my eyes. Thank you Liberace for being such a shining star for so many years. PAX+

And his smile, he was always smiling while he played. unique, so over the top with his flamboyance but he made it work. Anyone who could take their eyes off of him while he performed is a better man than I.

Liberace's smile was everpresent which is a big part of his success. He brought joy to the world. What better legacy could he leave? Life never seemed fair to the most beloved and so AIDS took him while "god" looked on with apathy. But he lives forever through the strength of his love for others.

It seemed nothing could/would stop this man and his unique talent from becoming ultra famous. You have to admire his amazing abilities and bravery. He loved his mum and took care of the family too, that is just a wonderful thing in itself. It's hard to imagine Liberace resting in peace, he'd be too busy rhine-stoning those already pearly gates.

I have been defending him for years saying the stories about him were very exaggerated now l do not really know what to think but l know he never raped anyone or forced anyone to sleep with him and l know he was in love with Joanne del Rio in the 1950 ,s and would have married her if her rich dad had not stopped them getting married why worry about all this now we got this virus to overcome which is much more important

The fact he was gay makes no diffrence to me. He is an amazing performer and musician. Mr showmanship indeed. In 1959 He took a newspaper in England, the daily mirror to court for calling him amoung others terms fruit flavoured. Liberace took this to be a reference calling him gay. Homosexuality was illegal at that time of course may have coloured his reaction but no straight person in 1959 would have had knowledge of the gay community to understand what the term fruit flavoured was seen as. As he won the case he had to live a straight seeming life otherwise the mirror could have sued him back. Full story here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace_v_Daily_Mirror#:~:text=Liberace%20v%20Daily%20Mirror%20is,that%20he%20was%20a%20homosexual.

My mother and I went to see him in Jacksonville Florida a whole lot of years ago!!. What a show!! He loved his audience and we loved him. After watching him on TV for years (in black and white) I was thrilled to see him live, in living color. It was an exciting show. Too bad we have nothing today.🎈🎈

Liberace was indeed a great contributor to the world and unlike today he had real talent to back up his flamboyance . I for one am glad he bought classical music to so many who may have never been introduced to it. Today we have Andrea Rieu who does the same and packs world stages to present classical music. I am glad that people are given the opportunity to enjoy classical music in such a non threatening way. I know only too well how music purists are so anal they destroy your JOY. Music, especially classical music is a gift to the world NOT something to be made a refuge for the elite !
