Liberace's Costumes

[@DGonz-dr1fl]

The coat he's wearing at 1:38 is part of my collection. I bought it from Debbie Reynolds when she liquidated her Hollywood Museum. It came with a note saying that Lee gave it to her for the museum at a party held at his Vegas mansion. It weighs about 40lbs. I literally pulled my back when I first picked it up. 🙂 G!

[@thereseember2800]

He was so fun and funny! God bless him! He brought so much joy to the world!

[@santhemooncrystal796]

I was Liberace for a Halloween party, most fun I ever had. As a young, 14 year old pianist, Liberace inspires me to practice more, and to be kind to people. I'm the only person my age that I know who appreciates his music.

This first part of this video was filmed in Rhode Island at the Warwick Musical Theatre. I was actually there the evening this was filmed in the early 1970's. Such great memories of the one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century -- LIBERACE!

[@lkctom2546]

He was so hilarious, talented and kind. No celebrity even comes close to him anymore.

[@hussnfussel78]

I love to hear him talk.

[@mobrules29]

I saw him at a theatre-in-round - actually in a tent - in Western New York in the early 70's. These video clips take me right back to his shows...the most electrifying I've ever seen. That guy could entertain and man could he play the piano. But with all that fame and fortune, he still seemed like one of the kindest, gentlest and most modest human beings I've ever seen.

[@george_monks]

Yes he was a very nice man. Legendary and Mr Showmanship.

[@staceyrichardson6413]

I just loved Liberace. What a showman!

[@daphnenapier1102]

Liberace really did enjoy himself all his life. So did all the fans love seeing him.

[@dancooper2803]

I got to see him in Toledo back in the 70's.he was awesome

[@mheerd]

Ha, this is what I first saw of Liberace on tv, in hotpants and I was shocked! He was too much. But I never forgot him, even bought an album some years later and was there when he performed in Amsterdam! One of the best shows I experienced!

[@asstroeongdong-min1709]

What an entertainer

[@keishagoodson7233]

such a sweet, sweet man. really liked how he explained the detail of his costumes. bob mackie wouldve had a field day with him lol.

[@keyboardmagic]

No,as I mentioned previously it was filmed at the Warwick Theatre in RI and not Caesars Palace in LV. If you look closely, notice that it's a theatre-in-the-round. This is also a segment from his video, "The World of Liberace", (circa. 1972). The last part of the video however, is taken from his 1985 Radio City Music Hall show in NYC; and that brief part where he removes his jacket & speaks about the weight, was taken backstage in RI as well....

[@balto4]

love this man,he seemed very sweet

[@josettebraswell375]

You have to love him

[@hannahbanana7973]

He was twerking it with that pole! Go 'head liberace! Love him

[@Machinelf]

First time I heard about Liberace was through old school rappers rappin about how cool he was for all the jewelry he rocked etc. haha

[@clarkgable4113]

Really? Did they record anything? Would love to hear him referenced in this way!

[@lkctom2546]

Same

[@Person0fColor]

Yea they were rapping about how cool he was 😂 stfu liar

[@ziggymorris8760]

And people weren’t sure he was gay?!?!? 😂😂

[@petecernan2568]

Unreal isn’t it hardly any signs!

[@debstrzelecki8805]

Not bad for a poor boy from Stallis (West Allis) WI. Love you Lee from Milwaukee!

[@johnastrup1549]

"Lee" Mr. Showmanship.

[@sammavacaist]

"Let me show the young man what you can get if you practice." "Its nice to have a big one if you have a choice." My, he was a bit naughty. Like a male Mae West!

[@antfactor]

he delighted in being daring.

[@janetebarbirato5284]

Simplesmente sensacional!

[@angelomelville9084]

He always was crying in his way to the bank.

[@lianelayman7796]

Liberace wasn't poor when he grew up, he wasn;t rich but he wasn't poor and he was from Wisc. And just because you don't grow up with money doesn't mean you can't die with it.

[@hannahbanana7973]

I'm sad that he had to lie to do what he loved. I hope the world makes it easier for talented people to be themselves

[@sprintbass]

Bianca Bolden it was a different era.. Ppl would have called him an abomination.

[@catherinemasden2830]

Such a gentle and wonderful human being

[@ddylla85]

Liberace of course would be the inspiration for Prince Poppycock's patriotic costume

[@mloparco5562]

3:01 I think there was something else mate….

[@catherinemasden2830]

He was a sex symbol in his earlier days... women were bonkers and a lot of younger women too

[@george_monks]

@lee curie I think its Stars and Strips together.

[@virgiljohnson9880]

FUN FUN FUN GUY,,,,BLAZING TALENT

[@ddylla85]

Love those red, white and blue sequined Oxfords(?)

[@kmcwhq]

400 GRAND a WEEK!!

[@ASIABECKFORD]

lol the old ladys got a kick out of him in the american outfit at 0.50

[@lkctom2546]

"I came from a family of divorce" and thaaaats why he never married a woman 😂

[@chrisreed26]

The first costume, Hotpants..How could anyone not know he was gay after this??? Not that it even mattered in the least! How sad that he felt he had to hide it! Everyone loved him and his talent, well, aside form Jim Bakker and Jerry Fallwell!!

[@george_monks]

stripes*

[@mandangalo72]

I just saw that usa outfit on display in Vegas and you have to be a ankle grabber to wear that!

[@lianelayman7796]

I'm glad you love to hear him talk, it gets on my nerves sometimes with the high spitch, nazely sound. Not married, yiur gay, that's why. That lady didn't care about looking at his rings, she just wanted to hold his hand. The end of this vedio makes me sad that he's gone. People think money is going to make them so happy and they would do anything to get it, but I know Liberace would gladly give up his money not to have aids.

[@catherinemasden2830]

Liane Layman his Wisconsin accent makes his voice even more nasal

[@thebeatlesyliz]

Wow liberace s wonderfull xD but s gay :(

[@thebeatlesyliz]

que aun cuando el fue gay , me gustaba

[@sprintbass]

So the fk what. Are you making 400k a week, oh don't forget to adjust for inflation 70s..to 2018...
