Liberace in Vegas playing Brazil and Cumana

[BroadwayG]

Check out LIberace on Castle Films 1947. I found 2 here on YT. Know as Walter Liberace. Wow he already was learning his style, watch his hands, he is beginning to throw them up in the air....so cute. Later, what happened to his clean cut face? just age? or too much plastic surgery? Yikes!

The Latin influence of the musical creativity of Liberace is one of intrigue and love. His musical genius has been enjoyed for so many years. He taught me how to play the piano and I miss him very much.

Linda canção que se chama "Aquarela do Brasil" , certamente a musica mais conhecida em todo Brasil.

Abraços a todos.

Oh I love to hear the song Brazil played on the piano and with a orchestra in the background and those bongo drums, can't have Latin music without them. This is a very old song. I'm not sure what the next song is they play but I've heard it before. I miss Lee, his sense of humor, his style, personality just everything about him. There will never be another Liberace or anyone close to him. God bless him, I'm sure he's playing piano in Heaven

What a treat it has been to find this video. Who is/was Vice Cardell? Where is he now? Liberace's talent and desire to entertain was so great, I only wish he could be as celebrated as he deserves to be. Thanks for sharing this - FANTASTIC!!!!

Vince Cardell was Liberace's protege in the mid 1970s. He beganas Liberace's chauffeur on stage, then Liberace taught him to read music and he became part of the act. The last I hard he was living in Nashville where he had his own show there.
