This video reached over 55,000 views on KZbin in just under two days, but sadly, a company in South America filed a fraudulent copyright claim against me, alleging that I somehow made a “cover song” of one of their tracks. The song in question was actually a live performance by Liberace from 1953! KZbin claims to have zero tolerance for abusive copyright claims, but this company keeps exploiting the system, often dragging out disputes to the very last minute of the 30-day window, hoping to collect any earnings the video makes in the meantime. If they win, they keep all the revenue. My channel doesn’t make much as it is (please support us by ordering candles and more from CampfireShoppe.com), so I’ve had to take down the video while I fight this dispute. If I win, I’ll make the video public again and hopefully recover the $250 it earned. I’m sorry for the inconvenience-I wish KZbin had a better way to detect and prevent these scams, but for now, we’re stuck dealing with the fallout. Thanks for your support and patience. -Scott

I saw Liberace in concert when I was about 14, in the 70’s. My Mom played piano and absolutely loved him. I didn’t want to go, how corny would that be at my age. But, OMG, he was amazing. His costumes and rings and persona was something you’d never imagine. His piano playing was incredible. I don’t know how he could play such difficult songs without sheet music. Thank you for showing this about him. He should not be forgotten.

I worked for the City of Los Angeles for 30 years as the chief photographer for the City Council. During that period, I shot over 300,000 photographs. The most memorable day in those 30 years was the day Liberace visited City Hall. Literally everyone in the building wanted a photograph with him. I spent a full 3 1/2 hours with him, shooting hundreds of photos. He was the kindest "celebrity" I ever had the pleasure of meeting. I now live in Las Vegas...I was sad to see his museum and restaurant close their doors.

I saw Liberace every year for four seasons while working at the Greek Theatre between 1983-86. I worked as a parking lot attendant. After all the cars were parked. I got comps to the show and would watch him perform. I loved listening to piano style music and enjoyed his performances emensly. I saw him leaving one night and his fans surrounded him asking for autographs. He stopped and signed almost every request. He was truly one of a kind.

My father met Liberace. He owned a security agency in Lakeland, Florida and Liberace played there in the early 1970s, as I recall. He requested that he was escorted onto stage by my dad's security as people would try to pick the rhinestones from his coat as he walked by, thinking they were diamonds. He walked down the main aisle to go to the stage apparently so he could shake hands and say hello to his fans. Prior to going onstage, my dad met him and shook his hand and they spoke for a few minutes while waiting to start the show. Dad says he was an extremely nice man. Dad used to have a picture of him walking beside Liberace on their way to the stage but sadly, it has been lost to time.

After “Mr. Waterman” bought the home I stayed overnight for an evening in the “Safari Room” toward the back of the house. Brett was having a party that was held the weekend before the remodel began. It was pretty cool because my dad was a huge Liberace fan and I was able to send him a picture of the room. One of the coolest things in the house was a hidden lavatory behind an elevated bookcase. You walked up stairs in one of the dens and if you knew which section to push on, the wall would give away like a large door where there was a hidden sink and a REAL solid gold toilet. I’ve no idea what that toilet was worth but it was truly something unique to see.

I treasure that jacket that happened to be what was left of the gorgeous long Beige Chinchilla coat that she had just made for Liberace.. in fact the next time we went to Vegas.. I wore that jacket to the Museum and told the story to Liberace’s sister, ,Angelina, who was there that day.Iand had my picture taken, in it, in front of one of his beautiful automobiles ..wearing my jacket.

Once in the mid 70s, I met Liberaces wardrobe assistant at a gym attached to the Holiday Star Plaza where Liberace was appearing. He told me that Lee was one of the kindest people he'd ever met. Despite his OTT personality, possessions, and performances , I believe he was all about LOVE. He gave so much to so many. BUT I'm not sure he ever found HIS true love 👨. Thanks for sharing this story, I hope others will enjoy mine. Viva LIBERACE! 🎉 💎 🏳️‍🌈

We visited the museum in Vegas twice in the 80s. Next to us there were two women standing in front of the glass closet doors containing Lee's show costumes, including matching shoes and accessories for each hanging outfit. We heard one woman whisper to the other: "I don't know about you, but I think a few of these outfits are gaudy." I couldn't help smiling and telling her: "Lady , this WHOLE PLACE is gaudy and that's what makes it so wonderful." A great memory of a talented musician and entertainer. R.I.P. Lee

I met him in Palm Springs. He used to shop in the Vons where I worked as a young man. He drove a white station wagon with keyboards down the sides. He came in one morning wearing a blue denim shirt that had silver studs on the back that said " Down with player pianos." He was a warm pleasant and friendly man. Unforgettable for certain.

I just wrote a comment about my grandpa who was a meat cutter at the Vons. Did you know Lyle Stuchell? I’m not sure exactly what years he was there but it had to be in the 70’s. At some point he transferred to Yucca valley where we lived.

Thank you for creating & sharing such a fantastic video on Liberace! My mom treated me to his concert in L.A.’s Dorthy Chandler Pavilion over 50 years ago. I remember the unbelievable impact he had on every attendee, especially me!! It was the 1st time that I truly understood the term, “Professional Entertainer”!! The entire show was beyond SPECTACULAR, as was Liberace in his beautifully made elegant outfits!!

Many of his bizarre outfits weren't "elegant;" they were camp to the max, and didn't belong on a man.

My dad was his paper boy when he lived in Sherman Oaks. His house was decorated for Christmas with an outer space theme (UFOs and space aliens, etc.). My mom peeked through the shrubbery once to get a glimpse of his piano-shaped pool in the back yard. Those were the days when homes of the stars weren't surrounded by tall fences.

Very nicely done. Great mix of Liberace actually presenting to us. TY. He was very indulgent beyond😢 comprehension really. I don't think with all that money the things he wanted to be remembered for were worthy. Really, more trite things many many can easily be remembered for. The excessive lifestyles in USA are pretty shameful.

I did a Google Maps search and was surprised to see his Vegas home in a kinda raunchy neighborhood. But when he move din none of that was there. I know nothing about Vegas, so I am just gonna assume the surrounding houses are probably worth $1 million+ because of their location. So ... it might not be as bad as it seems.

Liberace was a truly great artist. As you said, his fame has faded away. The first time I heard about Liberace was in the movie "I'll Be There," where Craig's mental patient calls a pianist or guy with dementia "Liberace." That was the year of 2003
