What jealous silly fools gave this a thumbs down. He was a great pianist a great showman. Wonderful personality. He had the ability to laugh at himself. A humble talented person

What a brilliant performance by Liberace. To play when the clown is dancing in front of him. Wonderful and so sad. I’ll always miss you Liberace You brought happiness to so many people. You deserve a Statue.

Just amazing. So simple yet so powerful. Sadly todays entertainers have lost touch with this style of entertainment.

Amazing puppeteering. I've never seen anything on this level of talent from both a puppeteer and pianist.

Oh my heart…. Liberace was incredible. Played with his heart and soul. Magical. May he Rest In Peace. ❤️

I am 84 and he is still alive for me, still rare and daring in his humanity. This glory of sweetness, I never saw this piano puppet pairing of two artists before Sheer genius. Among the top creations that feed the human spirit.

Wow. I was really depressed for the past week.....just in the dumps. I saw this and laughed so hard and cried and for the first time in a long time I feel like things are gonna be ok

Just lost for words fab

Bravo this was entertainment

i was lucky enough to see Liberace in England and bring in the clowns was part of the show. absolutely brilliant. greatly missed

Bravo!!!! Younger people just don't have the memories that we who were around do. It was so different. Many of us almost never went out for a regular daily meal or even for the evening. Instead, we might fix some popcorn or other simple treats, turn on the television, and the entire family would sit around and be entertained by absolutely legendary musicians, singers, actors, comedians, etc., through the various programs available. It's actually almost overwhelming to look back and realize in many cases we were watching and hearing some of the very best in their fields...maybe ever!!!!!

This was so cute! Hats off to Lee and the guy controlling the clown--He was awesome!

I have shared this with everyone I know and watched anytime I need a glow. Sheer genius. A treasure for anyone with a human heart who has had their joy shattered by life yet finds a simple sweet dance still possible. Lovely

This is amazing! For those of you educated and childish people poking fun, saying the puppeteer should be fired, or saying intellectually thrilling things like “this is stupid”, then, clearly, this form of art and entertainment wasn’t designed for you. As for the comment that adults shouldn’t be laughing at the marionette, let me inform you that the use of marionettes for entertainment (of all groups) goes back to around 2,000 years BC. Go get yourself an education. This is talent at its finest.

This is a very rare and classic video of Liberace doing one of my all time favorite songs .Truly , Liberace was "Mr. Showmanship " .And his Talent for playing the piano ,always showed through his music .RIP Liberace ,I miss you .

Another amazing suit

Whot ever Liberace did was brilliant beautiful and amazing

Oh my goodness!! My Mom referred this to me. WHAT A PERFORMANCE!! I so wish that our younger generation would learn to appreciate this kind of art!!! Such an entertainer. There is a HUGE difference between an entertainer and a performer. My name is Jill Lyons "and I stand behind this message"

That clown is so real like it is a human who works the clown is very good.

Aww so sweet. RIP good and dear man.

amazing tears are running out my eyes

I never get tired of watching this.

I don't remember the last time I genuinely enjoyed a video as much as this

I can STILL remember the feeling that I experienced, as I sat in the showroom at the Hilton, watching Liberace and Barclay and Toto perform this ... it was touching and beautiful.

absolutely astounding !!!

Allways brings tears to the forefront in a rush of warmth. . . . .

He was an incredible showman and a musical/pianistic genius.

speechlessly beautiful

🎹🎶 Lovely & wonderful 🎶🎹 ❤️ Thank U very much ❤️ 🇹🇭 from Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭.

Simply astounishing👏🏆🤩

The glittering Pink Jacket, Trousers and Cape is so beautiful.

Amazing. Heartbreaking. Beautiful.

So entertaining, what all around spectacular entertainment!!

I was lucky enough to see Liberace in concert live one time and he was super fantastic what talent!.

beautifully done, by one of the very best if not the best at the piano. he is gone but his music will live on.

JUST WONDERFUL BRAVO!!!!

Wonderful. I remember seeing this many years ago. Thank you for letting us see it again.

Pure genius

Wonderful, this man has been totally inspirational for my piano playing journey

Sweet, well done!!

What I like best is that it’s Liberace on solo piano. There’s so much video available on this great musician/entertainer but even in his early b&w days he almost always plays with accompaniment. Nothing wrong with that but nice to hear him alone also.

Back in the day, we saw him on many shows. He was wonderful!

Wonderful beyond words. Brilliant performance.

So beautiful,

I have taken a rageddy ann doll, put it in my hand and brought it to life for my 4 yr old daughter. The Chachi, pure artist, entertainer and fashion way before it became chic. Sometimes people cant understand real talent or a good show, this was both.

I'm late to the party but I finally made it here💃🏻 BROVO LIBERACE👏 my friend Lee. Brilliant show. Thank you Toto and your puppetmaster too.

No one today comes close to a performance like this. This is one of a kind. The way the clown looks up at its handler is amazing.

This was so beautiful to watch.

Just want to hang out with Lee and have a chat. What a talent

very well done.

Beautiful. I’m here. 🦋

Amazing and just so beautiful and creative. Simple and yet inspiring. You were the greatest Lee. Rest in Peace. I can't imagine the piano you are playing in heaven ( I bet it is all made of Gold ).

IMO this was amazing! I almost didn't watch it but am certainly very glad I did. I think Lee is due a lot of credit for sharing the number with Toto and letting him have the spotlight and basically stealing the show.

Now that was one of the most beautiful performances I've seen yet! First, I love Lee's Pink Sparkly outfit with matching Pink shoes. That puppeteer was amazing! He really brought life to the marionette. Best I've ever seen.

He was such a wonderful showman and artist. Will never forget seeing him live in Vancouver, BC. Thanks for the memories ❤❤🇨🇦

I watched this special on TV with my family in 1978...and adopted the name "Toto" as my clown name as I had taken a clown class not long before I saw this. Clowning turned into my career...and as of now in 2018 I am celebrating my 33rd year as a full time clown. There are folks in this world who have never called me anything but "Toto"...

OH MY GOSH....this was fantastic. That clown was so darn cute. What a great piece of entertainment. Thank you, thank you for putting this on your site.

Beautiful

So beautifully done! Thank you for downloading.

And loved the little peek-a-boo with Liberace! ❤

Wow! I've never seen this before.....truly amazing. That is truly a show that will not be matched...simply incredible. I'd like to know the genius that came up with this wonderful idea. I have not seen anything like this in a very long time

Amazing

The clown is so human like with the movement and facial expressions - top marks to the Puppeteer and to Liberace himself for the interactions between the Medley played and the clown's response.

JUST WOW!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Oh that music is so pretty what a talented person. Wat a waste he had to go too soon. We miss his beautiful music.

Awesome puppeteering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another of my many favorites. Still watching in 2023 and in the years to follow ! ❤

Liberace was amazing, but was also one of the best puppeteer performances ive seen

Bravooooo!!!!!!!!

Lovely

Simplemente maravilloso! 👌👌👌

❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Marvelous Maestro ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇪🇸

Este vídeo me recordó mi infancia!! Gracias !! Porque hoy los niños ven cosas taaan diferentes.,pero sobretodo tan agresivas los padres lo permiten . Aquí volví al tiempo donde teníamos imaginación ,sana y fantástica GRACIAS !!!!; G. L. M.

This is my favorite Liberace piece, so perfect, so emotional....a wonderful supremely talented man, who gave so much beauty and love to this troubled world. When he picked notes they somehow sounded unlike any other.

Fabulous! 👍🏼

Phenomenal! Really made the clown come to life

Un genio irrepetible .

Wonderful

ME HA ENCANTADO.............................

Sorry I didn't get to see him live!

I want that outfit but modified into a dress. 💕 Beautiful pink sparkly outfit.

Hermoso espectáculo💓👍👍

Love this act w Todo the Clown. Very entertaining & well done. Thanks for posting.

Love Liberace always❤️🥰

absolutely magical!

Great puppeteer! Excellent number.

Liberace você é o teclado da beleza e da alegria e muito mais Obrigada

brilliant!

❤❤❤👍👍👍

legend performance and sound ever.

Remember seeing him in concert & this song, truly awesome.. He was Great..

Liberace un ser de luz verlo y escucharlo te ilumina el alma. lastima que esa maldita enfermedad lo mato como a tantos talentosos

The world was poorer for his passing. RIP

R.I.P you were a legend

I wonder what happened to the clown since Shaw's passing. Not much information about Shaw overall. I hope the little guy has a good home.

I don't like clowns, but this one was kinda cute. I'm not dead.

05022020wed -Nothing Comes Close. Send in e Clowns got better n better n better with Liberace.

Fantastic

3:30 -- I wonder how many people back then got the significance of the music there, and how many would get it today. Hint: It's "Vesti la giubba" from the opera 'Pagliacci.'

Liberace would come to Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor Hotel you could hardly get tickets
