I never knew that Tennessee Ernie Ford could play the piano. What a treat to find this duet that he and Liberace did.

Get kids off their computers/phones & playing musical instruments, does not matter which. Before cable tv & internet we learned an instrument at school. Learning to read music is another form of art. Who is with me on this?

This is real comedy, style, humour and class.

How can anyone not love Liberace?

I met a woman recently who went to a couple of dozen of his concerts. Liberace got to know her and even socilaised with her a few times. She said he was an incredible person, very kind and thoughful at all times. She said he seemd to have this aura about him. He certainly affected a lot of people with his genius and fun nature.

Oh, so enjoyable to see these two wonderful talented musicians again!!

Ernest Jennings Ford (February 13, 1919 - October 17, 1991), known professionally as Tennessee Ernie Ford, was an American singer and television host who enjoyed success in the country and Western, pop, and gospel musical genres. Noted for his rich bass-baritone voice and down-home humor, he is remembered for his hit recordings of "The Shotgun Boogie" and his version of "Sixteen Tons." Władziu Valentino Liberace[nb 1] (May 16, 1919 - February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer and actor.[2] A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, Liberace enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Liberace was the highest-paid entertainer in the world,[3] with established concert residencies in Las Vegas, and an international touring schedule. Liberace embraced a lifestyle of flamboyant excess both on and off stage, acquiring the nickname "Mr. Showmanship."

I love how all of Liberace's limbs moved when he really played

Nice virtuoso!!! Very artistic!! Charming!!!! Wunderbar!!! Quiet comical too!

Grew up watching Tennessee Ernie on our Dumont TV. Loved him!

I met Lee in Michigan many years ago and he showed me his jewels...I have always loved him

Two of the Greatest entinainers of all time in the entire world performing together having fun 🌝 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

When I was a kid my mother and father would put his show on and I would not like it I thought it was to boring and dry. Now that I'm older I can appreciate him and his talent and I truly truly love him and I love his music . He was truly the best and a very classy gentleman.. I wish that I could have hung out with him in his sun room at his home and talk and just enjoy his sweet personality. Really great person. Surely talented indeed.

Liberace was truly masterful on the keys - a Great!

i liked the way liberace walked out on stage to play the piano. so much confidence.

Liberace grew up in West Allis WI a suburb adjacent just west and south of Milwaukee. I was raised in Wauwatosa WI adjacent to the west of Milwaukee and I was a lot younger than Mr. Liberace. Every year my high school would put on a fund raising variety show. I was a reasonably decent player so I decided to audition with a tricked up serious classical piano piece inserting various "children's tunes" and do a Liberace knock-off. He was very much of the current culture so everyone "got" it. My mother was a Northwestern University piano graduate and helped me finesse the little tunes into the act. I came out on stage wearing a tux, carrying a candlelabra. Part of the "shtick" was not being able to light the candles with my matches along with a little physical clumsiness ala' Victor Borge, getting seated and settled at the grand piano. Apparently it was received well enough that the theater teacher had me play in the second night's program also. That was my one and only foray into musical comedy.

Thanks for making this available. All the best!

I loved the way Liberace would ask to see a lady in the front row with a huge diamond ring, and he would make the comment, wow, what a nice starter kit!!

Had the priviledge of seeing Liberace in Hershey years ago, and shaking his hand, and seeing the "family jewels"! What a great time!! He was truly talented!

Back in the day when there were only 3 tv stations to choose from.

Liberace - the BEST pianist EVER! Tennessee Ernie Ford - One of the BEST entertainers!

look at the classy style liberace has at the piano

Two of the greatest showmen in the world. They will be missed forever.🙂🙂

This routine just makes me feel good, smile and hearkens me back to the days of the great old school talents. Miss 'em all.

Loved both of these guys

Liberace was truly a wonderful pianist, & fun entertainer, when he came on you would think all the glitter, well I dont no how this is going to go. But at the end you would be allways Amazined.

How sweet it was!

What fun. Thanks for sharing

many years ago my friends and me saw Liberace perform in a huge auditorium in the state of Rhode Island. He was absolutely wonderful and to this day he is missed.

Absolutely wonderful!

I saw Liberace in concert as a kid. Didn't know what I was seeing.

Lee was truly awesome

Imagine being in the same room with those two !!!

Absolutely wonderful j love them both

Before my time but this beats what's on tv these days !....true entertainment

Would love to have been friends with Lee, he was such a sweet man. Incredible talent! I love how his taste in fashion rubs off on people when he's a guest on their shows. :D Where Liberace goes, glitter shall follow.

Loved this,

So cute!

Just amazing beautiful

Amazing talent!!!!!

Fantastic musical performance !

Years ago, I visited the "Liberace Museum", Las Vegas. It is long closed. Sad. You really have to love this guy. Showmanship? No equal. Style? Well he had it. He was giving the public what they wanted. A GREAT entertainer. He brought classical music to people, in way that nobody has done since. Popular music? That too. there will never be an equal anytime soon.

When entertainment was real!

Oh, what a treat this is, thank you!

TWO LATE GREAT'S 2GETHER - ? - WOW - ERNIE FORD - AND - LIBERACE

Wow - what a great find!

This was hilarious. Thanks for sharing it.

Skvělý humor v hudbě! Pobavilo mě umění v tomto videu...Díky moc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so cool!!!!!

Good duo!

Thank you!

What a Great Duo ❤

Lo mejor de lo mejor ! Maravilloso ❤❤❤❤❤

The Huffington Post had the nerve to run an article that questioned the talent of Liberace. I was flabbergasted and certainly appalled.

This sounded great.

A time when entertainment was actually entertaining!

nice show

brilliant comedians.

not only a genius but one with great humour also

Wonderful

How about that! I knew Ernie could sing. We probably had most of his albums! But I honestly never knew he could play the piano! What a great look back at a better time!

Now that's good time music

Memories awesome

The other guy is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the best sketch ever

Love this

Liberace - O grande! Estaria completando 100 anos agora em 2019.

Wow. Just wow.

Wonderful!!

I didnt know til watching this just now that Tennessee ernie Ford was a piano player 👍🎹

To hell with the critics. What do they know? Classical critics would often bash Liberace when he played classical pieces by renowned composers of whom the critics never even saw because these composers were long dead. If you want to go to a recital and listen to a performer play Chopin--fine. If you want to be entertained by someone who actually looks like he’s enjoying playing the piece then go see Liberace. The man could play!!!

Fantasic love him

Me gusto siempre Liberache las melodías que toca me emociona muchísimo, cuando toca Según pasan los años es ÚNICO👏👏👏👏❤️🥲

😁😁😁😁 loved it!

Brilliante!!!

"You're thumping the lid on my funny barrel."

when television was worth watching

This was awesome 😊❤

Wow

The other pianist is Tennessee Ernie Ford

Liberace plays with his whole body, no pun intended

My Grandmother knew Liberace. She'd hail "yoo hoo, Walter!" He'd spot her in the crowd and say "hello, Ernestine!'. He came for Thanksgiving once, lovely evening, and appreciated that she had no piano

Amazing!

The worlds greatest showman, his untimely death left a void in the music world

Great video

Man I really missed out on Liberace when I was young - really just now getting acquainted with his music and performances now, for the first time. Back in the 70s and 80s, no one I knew would have been caught dead listening to anything other than hard rock music; to listen to anything else would have been 'gay'. Looking back now, I lament having missed out on being exposed to this man and his gift. Glad I get to enjoy it them now.

Those where the days artist of the past and they where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAHOO!!!

Nice

👏👏👏💕

Arlene Francis did the exact same thing with Night and Day but with a trombone on an episode of What’s My Line

Wow!

THANKS FOR SHOWING ERNIE FORD AND LIBERACE PLAYING THE PIANO. NEVER KNEW ERNIE COULD PLAY THE PI-ANO! DO YOU KNOW THE YEAR OF THIS SEGMENT?THANKS. I LOVE HIM SINGING SIXTEEN TON. HE WAS SO FUNNY AS COUSIN ERNIE ON I LOVE LUCY!

Ernie had a great talent.

I am so happy I can't stand it!

Midwest celebs are typically more in touch with the public vs celebs from the east coast.

I agree with Michael

In a story about Liberace, it said he often posed as a cab driver and dropped visitors off in various locations in Vegas. The people were just in awe of the best impersonator of Liberace they ever knew, driving them around. The fact is that it was actually Liberace and not an impersonator. lol

This music makes me wanna drink beer and get into a bar fight.

TERRIFIC !!!!! :)

I new it..one note 🎵
