I met Liberace in 1983 in Palm Springs. He used to take his vintage London taxi car to the airport and offer tourists free rides to their hotel as well as pick up any guests he had coming in to stay at his home. I was there as part of touring musical act doing the tourists area of CA and Nevada. He was at the airport waiting for guests with is taxi. He stood on the sidewalk and talked to everyone who came up to him, signed autographs, took photos, shook hands for a good 30min before his guests arrived. You couldn't have asked for a more gracious and kind celebrity.

Amen! And I think I read/heard something somewhere that he helped "bring classical music-appreciation to the average USA citizen" largely because of that!

[@hugovelasco1586]

It wasn’t only his talent. It was the person he was. Liberace had the keen ability of making the viewer on the other end be it an iPhone or TV feel like you were truly with him. He had a simple yet powerful human warmth. I lost my mother last year to covid, I lost a girlfriend and I’m completely alone and hearing Liberace speak and share on interviews made me feel accompanied by him.

The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop: Science is blossoming, yes. However, our culture is surely going down the drain. We'd rather use computers to make music then use our minds and creativity.

[@theplayerformerlyknownasmo3711]

Charles Anthony see, that's another generalization that's not very intelligent to make. Just because you don't listen to today's music, and by no means do I mean top 40, I mean the real music hidden in today's musical landscape. The only real reason you notice all these things going wrong is because you actually get to see everything that goes wrong now. Back in the day you just read a newspaper with a select few items to take up, now we have instant access to every awful thing. And as for musicians now a days using computers, it's not like you type in the word "song" and you get a song and boom that's a hit. That's borderline retarded thinking if that's what you think music is in 2017.

[@Charles_Anthony]

The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop: I'm talking about Dubstep and all that garbage. Don't call me retarded because I dislike digital music. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone when it comes to that line of thought.

[@sandranokes7443]

People always notice his clothes, the "entertainment" of him. But what I see is the great musician he truly was. Huge talent. He should be remembered just like all the other greats. On top of all that, he was humble. He took abuse and he turned it into beautiful music. He loved the piano and he shared that with us.

He was a master pianist maybe one of the best we ever had. Such a loss to have him go so early in the 80s.

What a memory he had. Playing for over 16 minutes various songs and he never used sheet music. A phenomenal performer. I grew up listening to his records and watching his tv shows. Thank you for the memories. 🎹🎹🇦🇺

[@johnharrington6802]

can see my mum glued to the tv when he was on she was a very good player she always said he his a genius at work close your eyes while he is playing now sixty years later wished I had took piano lessons boy what genius he his

Hello John, how are you doing.

[@garrisonnichols807]

What a wonderful man who brought so much joy to this world. God bless him and may he rest in peace.

[@MrFredlyb]

I used to be turned off by the personal life of this artist, but then I began to think, what are we supposed to really be paying attention to, his reason for being on this planet, or his personal life. After being aware of this man's talent for so many years, and even running into him one day in the Atlanta airport, I started an amazing path to really understand and appreciating his talent, truly one of a kind that we will probably never see again. My grandparents loved his music and all his showmanship; I just wish I had paid more attention to him while he was alive. What a true diamond he was; wish he were here now with us.

[@pianomichael3933]

Fred Bradley YOU were "turned off by this artist". Darling, YOU turn EVERYONE off, with your FACE! LOL PLEEEEASE!

[@lancslass-uk6174]

Fred didn't say that .. he said that he was turned off by THE PERSONAL LIFE of this artist. Please read things properly before you comment. There is no need for you to be rude Michael. I totally agree with Fred too!

[@pianomichael3933]

LancsLass-UK I know quite-exactly what I read, and what I've written. My only response to you too, is you ALSO are a BIGOT. lol It's 2017. GROW THE FUCK UP, MEATHEAD. You can't like someone's work without also liking the person creating it. Troll.

[@MrFredlyb]

Hey idiot, you need to know how to read, but maybe you never got that far in school? I said I was turned off by his PERSONAL LIFE, then I went on to say how great of an artist he was and that is what we should be paying attention to instead of his personal life. Learn how to read.

[@tsf5-productions]

Fred...I agree. What an excellent master he was in playing the piano. Lee's personal life was very hard for me to appreciate after it came out in the public open, but truly...this man enjoyed playing for people. He WAS "Mr. Showmanship" My wife & I saw him in concert in Indianapolis back in the summer of 1977. After that show, and all his shows, you didn't forget that what you saw was pleasant & memorable. I have the souvenir program book of that '77 concert. It was fun to see lots of the ladies swoon at his good looks. Yes...there may never be another like the one and only Liberace. He dearly "paid his dues' in the history book of top entertainers!

[@bufufubu]

Liberace, the consummate entertainer. Funny, glamorous, talented and so down to earth. I wish more of today's celebs were as humble and gracious as Liberace. 👏

[@Houdini774]

This man truly was great.

That man is a once-in-a-millenium phenomenon. Not just because he is a genius at the piano. But the mix of charisma, beauty, glamour, sweetness, his infectious excitement about what he is doing - he blows my mind every time. And sooo endearing: his impish joy showing off his robes - like the joy of a little kid - - - yeah, he is what I need right now during these gruelling times we live in nowadays...

[@CanvasCanary]

Amen!! 😊😊😊

[@mistertibbs6542]

Im very blessed to have seen this great artist in, not one but two of his Vegas performances. Once at the Hilton and another at the Stardust Casino. He unfortunately left us when he was still in his prime.

[@mbez11]

You made piano more accessible to the average person, Walter. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents with the world. RIP

[@CanvasCanary]

"Walter?" ;). But otherwise , you're definitely right!😊

[@bobsagette]

​@@CanvasCanary Yes, Walter.

[@creativeguru4372]

He was such a kind and gentle man.

[@giana9261]

I will never forget my mother taking me and my brother to see Liberace and how kind he was to take his time to stop and talk with us- his encouraging words and beautiful piano playing from 55 yrs ago continue to ring inspiration in my ears.

[@joesmith-jb4ls]

The Great Showman!! And he was having so much fun!!!

[@pointerdogmanfred3520]

A pianist and entertainer unmatched by any standard and never again to be experienced. I miss his gift and music.

[@samhutchinson4504]

i would have loved to see this in person. hes fantastic

[@jeanettecook1088]

I once saw and heard Leontyne Price perform in person... it was the event of a lifetime, and I will never forget how deeply she impressed me with her beauty and voice. It's a totally different experience in person...I loved Liberace too...

[@JaimeMesChiens]

@@jeanettecook1088 how cool that we are watching this in 2022. This entire video is magical. I know nothing about Mr Liberace. He did live through interesting times, though. I am going to look him up and know I’ll be surprised what I learn.

[@cplmackk1]

You know someone is talented when they can make thier talent look effortless. This man ladies and gentlemen was talented!

[@patriciajrs46]

Yes, he made it look easy.

[@tahoebronco1532]

I was only a young lad but count myself blessed that my father took me to at least 5 of his shows when he played at the Nugget in Sparks, NV or up at the Sahara Tahoe back in the late 60's and early 70's. He was truly an entertainer with a beautiful talent.

[@garykoch343]

I lived in Sherman Oaks as did Liberace and one day he parked his beautiful 1954 black Cadillac El Dorado convertible in front of our house and walked to a nearby speciallty shop. I got my 5 year old little cousin and took her to the shop and with her autograph book and he was so nice talking to us and signed with his customary flourish and drew a piano along with his signature. I was most impressed by the car with black and white leather featuring piano keys across the seats stitched in !

[@CanvasCanary]

Wow-wee!! 😊😊😊

[@Radrugan]

Michael Douglas And Matt Damon brought me there, and I'm happy they did.

[@madalene7724]

A time where you had to be talented to be recognised. I love and miss you Lee ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻

[@lindseypate4306]

I just recently discovered this absolutely wonderful and majestical sweet soul. He's so beautiful. That smile. He's perfect.

[@drjmansplace5174]

Liberace has been an inspiration of mine my entire life. He always seemed to enjoy entertaining the people. He really gets it on when the people entertain him.
