I think it's safe to say there'll never be another Liberace.

To hell with the haters Liberace was awesome!

Fantastic man, took an audience into the palm of his hand, for 120 minutes you could forget u had a problem in the world, he was indeed magical.

He was a workaholic. Over 400 concerts a year!!!! 🤯

A crystal clear piano player and a crystal clear view of what he wanted , and wanted to be. A collector of incredible art , beautiful homes and lived his life to the fullest. Who could criticize that, just jealous haters. When he performed you were transfixed , and wish you could live his,life for just a moment. Dedicated to his craft and entertainment, loved his family, was generous and loyal to his friends and especially completely devoted to his mother. An all around great person. The 76 tribute to the birth of the United States in his shorts and baton were just hilarious and over the top. And he knew it and loved it. R.I.P. I'm glad I lived to enjoy he and his incredible entertainment.

Liberace had guts! I give him that. He knew what he wanted to be and do and stayed there making millions and maybe billions! The secret to success? Make up your mind and start planning!

You just GOT to love him. Amazing.

When I was a kid in Australia Liberace's TV show would be on in the mornings straight after the childrens shows. Thats smart because kids were seeing and hearing this man perform and many never forgot it. For the fact he lampooned himself and had the gift of the gab he's almost the perfect entertainer. Lee was never afraid to be over the top. And thats what made him the best for so many years.

He was a genius play so beautiful. No one will ever fill his shoes

What a true talent he was. And what a sweet man he was. Surprisingly humble too. What a class act

“Too much of a good thing is wonderful.” -Liberace

I was lucky to see him at Radio City in 1985. Still remains one of the very best live shows I have ever seen. He was one of a kind - a truly great performer.

When entertainment was entertaining. Now its train recks and realty shows.

Such a shame that every house, everything, his museum are all gone. 😓

The man was an innovator, he knew the key was to "Entertain the People" !!!

God, I adored him; still do!!❤️❤️

There's a clip from one of his concerts where he said he had to get rid of the piano shaped pool because the piano tuner guy almost drowned! I thought that was a pretty hilarious line🤣

WOW, that playing at @1:10 just amazing...

I adore Lee. He is one of my idols. I did have a chuckle when the caption over his lover Scott said " Bodyguard" LOL Yeah, he was his bodygaurd alright...lol Get em Liberace!!!

He certainly was the best piano Player I've ever seen in person! And it doesn't make sense to me why people thought it was such a big deal about him being gay. It seem to be hard for him to even come out about it, but he was brought up an era when you don't talk about that. All in all he was a true Showman!

Man The Success of Liberace. Wow!!

I love how he's chillin' at home in an Adidas jogging suit. First time I've ever seen him reading music.

Happy 100th Birthday Lee. 5/16/2019

he was the best

what a fantastic pianist. I read he was child prodigy. How dare that critic just make him out to be a performer. He was magic on the piano.

They once asked Liberace how he played the piano with all those rings on his fingers, and Liberace responded: "Very well!"

I'm fascinated by him. The HBO movie about him is fantastic (in writing, directing, and acting), but the 1988 made for tv movie plays into his many myths. However, the actor who portrayed him delivered a MASTERFUL performance: He BECAME Liberace.

Never missed a note. And if he did, you still delighted in it.

Aside from his wardrobe He was a master of keys

Władziu Valentino Liberace (: May 16, 1919, - February 4, 1987) R. I. P.. We miss you.

Great video!!!

It's sad Liberace couldn't be and out and proud gay man! He was fabulous!

He is our modern day....CHOPIN.....period.

This video’s audio is of comparable low quality to my family’s old Zenith console TV that we used to watch this show in its original airing in 1981. The TV’s only speaker was about 2 inches in diameter.

love this

Love him

"I got the diamonds and he's got the jewels"

I wish my brother George was here

He was a Great Pianist

The sound is catastrophical

Way cool guy

I remember when 20/20 used to be good!!

When they showed Scott as his bodygard I thought, if they only knew the truth. Well they do now.

Mr.Showmanship "Lee" Walther I'll be seeing you

So much swag !

scott was doing more than guard his body...

I went to that museum I know I had to pay admission but I don’t understand why they closed it he made over $300 million and left at all I’m sure they could’ve taken A little loss and kept it open what happened all the money

He called the little puppy "Scotty"... probably a tribute to his lover. 10:05

Gladys showing off them rings, honey. Lol

Notice that when he blinks his eyes never fully close. His face was tightened by plastic surgery so much that he slept eyes open. Yeah. Compared to other people who have plastic surgeries performed for themselfes, wont mention any names, his actually looks quite decent. You can tell he has been operated cause his face looks like it but it doesnt look like bad surgery. If you do plastic surgery on face, you really need to keep it minimal. Otherwise, even if its good like his is i guess, it shows too much and i dont know if thats good.

👍🏼

Geez! That hairstyle Geraldo Rivera was sporting. Lol

Scott Thorson was a jerk. Stated he has over 30 rings. But Liberace kicked him out on the street and he had nothing. Why not sell a couple of those rings. He said he still had them years later.

Elton's idol.

concertino virtuoso

the reporter called him "wash lof" talk about butchering a name.

0:00 Boogie Nights

Probably the closest will ever to see to that great performer again= Elton John

Whilst I believe he was a vain narcissist with a sort of 'a disingenuous 'humble'' schtick...you gotta give it to Liberace...if anyone deserves the title of Mr Showmanship it was him!

he is talking around it

He liked people. I have no idea why.

This announcer absolutely butchers Lee's birth name, repeatedly.

Volume is ooor

Hes more like Jim Jones

No way u can convince me that man was gay!!! !!

Scott Thorenson was not his lover,Mobutu his bodyguard. It even said it here in this report. See I knew Liberace wasn't gay

the sound is rubbish on this video

Juck, mono!

Phil Hartman narrating?

Can't hear it

There is no way that man is gay!!!!!

Who knew not long after this that he'd be gone an at the time he had long time lover Scott Thorson. He looks horrible with his eyes after the surgery. He should have either sued the doc. or tried to get them done over or both. All the women that would kiss the TV , little did they know he was gay. That lady that said they call him Mr. Showmanship, Liberace himself first started calling himself that. His manager was such a piece of crap if you see more of the interviews. It's good the manager got all the jewelry because when Liberace died she only left him $60,000.He said nobody cared about anybody's lifestyle or what they do behind closed doors. Yea well he did everything he could to hide he was gay because he was so sure if he came out, he'd loose everything. Baby boy his dog is also what he'd call his lover Scott.

he must have worried alot when aids first came out

I like Liberace but, come on. A hard time is, not being able to go into an establishment, or having to come in through the back entrance because you're black!!!!

The king of bad taste... in clothes, jewelry and music!
