I don't believe that we will ever see anyone play the piano with such respect, enthusiasm and affection as Liberace !!

Liberace + Jimmy Durante on the same bill. Couldn't pass it up. Did not disappoint!

Two great performers that could never be match. Complete opposites but complete showmen.

Every once in a while I catch an old Durante performance here on You Tube, and one day I realized that every time I do I find myself smiling broadly.

What can I say. Such a talented pianist and such a nice man and charming. Wouldn’t hurt a fly, but the critics certainly did at times. They will never be remembered, but Liberace is still here with us. Never to be forgotton by me.

Great performance by two legends! I am very fortunate to have seen Liberace perform in-person. He was an incredible pianist, and showman, the likes we will never see again.

I can never get enough of Liberace.

*so calming and peaceful, it reminds me of my beautiful childhood* *sigh* 😔 *Those were the days* 😢

Jimmy Durante was the best.

This was truly a performance of the "Odd-Couple". Both are totally individual in their style, and delivery, and both performers had so much to offer during their Time on Stage, and Screen. This performance at The Hollywood Palace did exactly that, it delivered a Ton of Talent, and Entertainment... ~~CR~~

Two of the most original, singular, recognizable personae in Entertainment History, and if this was the only time that they ever did a bit of business together, this is nothing short of miraculous. I'm glad that Lib is featured before the comedy begins: Get past the "presentation" (which is where the money is), and you get to hear an absolutely breathtaking rendition of "Stardust," showing close up that no one, NO ONE, not even Horowitz or Tatum, ever had more pianistic chops than Liberace. (And dig the close-up of his face: This is the no-nonsense virtuoso, creating Art.) Seeing Durante and Liberace play a piano duet, even for laughs, is nothing short of surreal.

Two fantastic artists who have no equal.

Two such gifted and talented gentlemen transports one to another world. This is pure entertainment, the likes of which we shall never see again.

Fantastic Great Liberace

This performance reminds me of the song Jimmy Durante did so well SMILE. These men are two greats who will never be duplicated.

I forget how awesome Jimmy Durante was. So darn vaudeville

What a good video this is wow areal look back things end too soon

I think about sitting in the living room with mom watching him close his show with this song. Miss you mom.

The old days were fab, they had talent beyond talent.

My two favorite piano men! Just having fun, and playing their hearts out. Thanx so much for sharing this little treasure! RIP, darling Jimmy and Lee, and thanx so very very much for the magic, music, and memories.

I like less ornamentation in romantic songs, but his version of Stardust does hit romantic heights. Beautiful.

WoW he is one of a kind, like Elvis, there's only one, sad that the good die young, he was a special talent, RIP Lee

Loved them both.

BY GONE DAYS.....THESE TALENTS ARE VERY RARE.....YOU MAY SEE MODERN DAY PERFORMANCES, BUT NONE HAVE ENDURED AS THESE GUYS......BRAVO!!!!!

How thrilling that marvelous moments like this are available on KZfaq- yet, how sad to think that, with only three TV networks, entertainment like this was a regular part of programming. And what do we get now, with our 800 or more channels?

Jimmy Durante + Liberace...Unforgettable moments! Never to be missed during that time, when comedy collaborated with classical music 🎶 standards came along, clashing... Great hit, show, and archival! We fast forward to today's sold-out mega piano 🎹 man concerts: Billy Joel & Sir Elton John....incredible timing before the millennium!! Play on!!

So beautifully done. Love this tune, one of my favorites. Thank you for posting.

Fantastic and total control

DURANTE WAS ADORED BY ALL IN SHOWBIZ AND EVERYWHERE. THE APPLAUSE IS EVIDENT IN EVERY PERFORMANCE CLIP ON KZfaq, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS ON WHAT'S MY LINE.

Thank you Showmanlee for a wonderful and entertaining upload. I thoroughly enjoyed this awesome show. Thank you again, Ange 🤓

just the most amazing pianist thats ever been!!! a one off!!!

Liberace was magnificent......could listen to and watch him play for hours.....also love Jimmy Durante.....

And, everything was LIVE. No one can do that today.

Two of the absolute masters. We still are not worthy.

This is very funny and entertaining, thanks for this post. Liberace was one of, if not THE, best piano players of his day.

I love how to the toupe keeps moving when Jimmy hits his head.

God, how many Beatles jokes must there have been in 1964!

great--fantastic..thanks for posting.

Stunning!

Two Of The Greatest Pianist Ever!! Gotta Love Em!!!!!

God given talent of the highest kind.

Besides being a great showman, the bottom line is that Liberace was not just a Las Vega clown or showman with all his outrageous costumes and grand entrances but he was in fact actually a legitimate and great pianist who was able to play many of the classic piano busters by all the great composers like Chopin. I hated the fact that the movie about him focused so much on his private life which cast him in a very bad light and trivialized his great talent. I am sorry for Mike Douglas for having made himself a party to that type of degrading movie.

I can't imagine the hours he must have spent practicing that piano. Flawless musicianship.

Oh i miss the great ones!

This is my name in my present incarnation. Until January 29, 1980 I used to be Jimmy Durante, a reasonable comedian but *the best pianist ever* ! I confess that I taught Liberace something and this was my only mistake in my previous life.

WHAT A THRILL!!

Liberace played a mean piano he was cute too

Wow, I never realized this guy was that good. Like one of the last 17th and 18th Century classical music composers.

My God I love this!! Stardust

Fantastic show so funny and classy I lived their sense of humour

4'42" - Ringo Liberace!

Astounding!

When entertainment was entertaining- 🖤♥️🖤 The entire audience I bet has passed since this as well I can't help but wonder where does our souls goes theres truly got to be a after life ! I pray it was not all made up ! ♥️

jimmy Durante è un CANTANTE, COMICO, PIANISTA, UN PRESENTATORE,UN ARTISTA

Loved this! Thank you!

Fantastic!

LOVED THIS! THANK YOU.!!!

Thanks a lot

Super

First time I've ever seen such. Very good

I was in a show at the Desert Inn in 1982 and a couple of kids who were in the Liberace show at another hotel used to come around the swimming pool and hang out. They said Liberace was great to work with. (The boy was in a rollerskating act with a girl.) I never did go to the show.

wow wow wow!

Woow!!!!! Que buena música!!!! Me gustaría haber disfrutado de esto en su tiempo. I Love Jimmy Durante y hacen falta artistas así

America had Talent

Love the Real Piano Player segment at the end. If you want to see a different version find Durante with Al Jolson on you tube of almost 20 years earlier doing the same song, written by Durante I expect.

Es un auténtico placer verlo tocar.

My fellow Milwaukeean. Possibly the most entertaining and proficient pianist ever. Such an amazing showman too.

Amazing!!

Maestro liberace 🎹 rip

Luv "Liberace" ❤

Durante was the best!!!!

Love this!

No greats like this again. That's because this generation knew about how Hollywood was and didn't let their kids follow them so we don't get the generations of these greats.

Buen pianista magistral merci rudy diax

This is wonderful!!! I have a request if possible. The song is Sunrise Sunset by Liberace. I havent heard it since the war. Thanks again for all the great videos :-)

Liberace said, "I Show No Mercy!"

Absolutely beautiful. Looked everywhere for the song 'Always' . Cannot find it anywhere on KZfaq. Had a cd of it but got stolen when they broke into our home years ago. My mom and l absolutely loved Liberace. Watched every show on tv. Please share if you have it

Great entertainment 👌.

This stuff is back when entertainment was entertainment.

LIBERACE, ALÉM DE SER UM GRANDE PIANISTA É UM SHOW MEM.

incroyable

❤❤

Unique individuals never ever repited again!!!!!!!!

If you put aside your arrogance and your elitism, you can find a certain beautify, if vulgar yes, in Liberace's playing.....When you add the suffering of the last decade until he succumbed to AIDS----then you can see all this and even cry a tear....He had enormous talent, at this moment had not YET descended into the KITSCH of ten years later------and Durante was that kind of Gentleman Clown that has you longing for the more innocent days........Aaah...Lee-----may you be at peace......and you as well, you sexy giant bulbous nose!.....

Music on iTube

Hilarious!

😁😁😁👍

"Liberace, the man who took the class out of classical".

So sad he has rested best rendition of Hoagy's Stardust ✨✨n so hs Hoagy too

Child prodigy at the age of four...

Jäätävä esitys....

Pure Lee. Int't Aint chopped liver,,lol.

0:01 did I hear ĐŘÏP

This is realy genius. I ma troszkę korzeni z Polską..

I'm sorry. A repercussion is unlikely.

talent then - garbage now !!!! how sad !!!!

The old days they had class, now in 2020 they have trash.

a decent pub pianist !

Its sad to see he did not show his gay side of him like they do today and have been proud of it. You can tell when he walks that he's trying hard to act manly but near the end he kind of let go on that. Who cares what people are love is love and he should of said it to his crowds it might have made him even more popular.

Capstone danka and the last 🩰 days in the fridge we had a nice 👍🙂📆📅🥶😊☕🍕🍺
