@GooglFascists except that when you're that famous, nothing's your own business anymore, not with the press. I'm not commenting on how things should be, but how they actually ARE.
That is what 8 to 10 hours a day practicing your craft will get you. Some say he was ok some say great, I say he was the Greatest. He was a common man who never forgot where he came from
@MrLonesomeJohn I disagree--Liberace was great not because he practiced 8 to 10 hours a day practicing (you run into seious fatigue problems that way) but because he had an inherent talent that made it so he could play like that without having to practice so much. Maybe he practiced a lot during his school days, but I guarantee you he didn't have time to practice 8 to 10 hours every day when his career really took off.
The girl in back looked like she was only there cause she was paid to be there. It was kind of the thing back then to use good looking womwn like living furniture to dress a set up.
I never realised he was that good. Being a teenager in the 70s all i knew about him was when people did impressions of him with massive wigs and rediculous rings etc. I never realised he was so talented and so huge around the globe. Excellent.
It goes with my theory that great music transcends all prejudice. Hardly anyone knew that "Lee" was gay in the 1940s but by the time they figured it out, no one cared. I know some hard core racist old dudes that say they hated n*****s but loved Nat King Cole. Music touches the fiber of out existence. Thanks Lee!
sexual prowess has nothing to do with talent!!! the man was a great piano player and entertainer, anyone focusing on his bedroom is a focking idiot!!!
He was child prodigy and fantastic player until he decided to become Las Vegas clown and stopped practicing. (Well... for $50 000 a week (I would do the same).
Liberace appealed to the ladies and considered himself a sex symbol. His sexuality was his own business which he preferred to keep it the way. That's why he sued anyone who made claims about his sexuality (being gay). He choose to keep it private and too bad the world today can't take that as a lesson. Being openly gay isnt the way everyone wants it especially in his case when 80% of his audience were females!
@pompom11 Well said!! I completely agree with your comment. It's a shame that so many "closet-gays" live oppressed lives by "keeping it in the closet." Oppression is the opposite of "progression"...staying idle, not moving forward or rising above adversity or opinion.
Without a doubt, Liberace exuded true talent and showmanship; as do droves of others in the world who are gay.
Gay, Straight or Bi....
talent is talent, love is love and people are people. PERIOD. :)
Who should really care Talent is talent...Rock Hudson was a leading man, all new he was gay, guess that is what an actor really is. Please judge by what people do not what they are....
It gets rather tedious to listen to people bash Liberace for his gayness. You'd think that by now people would be more educated and get off his back. Few have ever had so much success as he did in his life. Or made as much money entertaining and performing for so many people.
Dave here. Our family watched Lee when he was on TV in the fifties. Thoroughly enjoyed his talent. My mother and youngest sister sat in the front row at the Daytona Jai-Alai fronton where Liberace performed. Between acts he went down and talked with the audience. He stopped & asked my 16-yr.-old sister if she'd like to touch the pink pom-poms on his outfit. After she did, he said, "Now you can say you held Liberace's fuzzy, pink balls!
I don't get it. If it takes him 1 minute to play it in regular time, then why does it take him more than a minute and a hlaf to play it in double time?
Liberace was a awesome master of the piano, one of the greatest that have ever peformed, regardless of any negatives, we will leave his final performance between him and God, for only God knows, not man.
Technically, Liberace was right up there with Art Tatum and JoAnn Castle as one of the best keyboard players of the twentieth century. Like Tatum, he could routinely incorporate 32nd note runs into his work, and he comes close to doing just that in this clip. Great stuff!
@MikeBlitzMag Not attempting to open up a can of worms, but JoAnn Castle was a barrelhouse-ragtime-stride pianist who for many years appeared on the Lawrence Welk Show. I'm wondering if she belongs in the same category as Liberace and Art Tatum?
@dallaskenn Technically I think she does. Each of the three of them pursued different musical directions, but then again, each one of them excelled at what they did. For my money, I would not exclude any of them from my record collection.
Actually, he was a good piano player.. not just a showman. Too bad society beats down everyone who is not part of the accepted "in crowd".. i.e. white, protestant Christian, straight, male, and employed as a salaried government employee with health insurance and guaranteed retirement pension.
@Boydd21 Talk about stereotyping. I don't see one person here bad mouthing Liberace. But you're stereotyping and bad mouthing several groups of people who didn't even weigh in with comments here. Liberace was a superb piano player. Leave it at that. The rest doesn't matter.
@MikeBlitzMag Society has cliques. Organized groups promote viewpoints & agendas, & react when challenged. Look at your reaction: you felt threatened by my 2 sentence comment. Could a non-famous Liberace completely avoid gay bashing in that era? Did he live free of fear of being outed, career destroyed, physically/mentally/emotionally bashed? Look at history. Who defined "righteousness" and enforced it? Hints: Slavery, Nazis, Crusades, Native Americans. The unspoken "rest" absolutely matters.
@Boydd21 To that effect, Liberace did survive. His preferences in such matters were never a secret. But, like the true artist that he was, that didn't define him. To hang his legacy on sexual orientation, which has nothing to do with his capabilities as a pianist, is to cheapen his legacy by saying that it didn't matter that he could play circles around pretty much any other pianist out there. That's an insult to his undeniable artistry.
@MikeBlitzMag Yes Liberace survived, & thrived. His preferences were definately secret until his later years & a publicized break-up with his young, & last lover. Look at $25 Million libel lawsuit against Confidential Magazine, 1957. Mocked by kids because, in part, he avoided sports, so he was driven to excel at piano. Sexual orientation absolutely impacted his pianist capabilities from early on. "Mr Showmanship" was not an artist. Critics berated him. "I don't give concerts, I put on shows."
@Boydd21 I always sensed a bit of satire in his "I don't give concerts" comment in that it was not necessarily what he believed of himself, but what he sensed certain critics thought of him. But here's the thing - he has been gone for a number of years now. His records and film clips have survived. Invariably they showcase an artist who technically was within the top 5 pianists in the world. Like Berry Gordy said, it's what's in the grooves that counts. In that respect, Liberace had what counts!
@MikeBlitzMag I still disagree. Liberace, JoAnn Castle, Art Tatum were American entertainers. Liberace & Castle played loud, fast with glitzy customes/staging for live popular entertainment. Tatum: very good jazz musician; Oscar Peterson also. Liberace was highest paid entertainer in world; 1950's-70's; a top businessman: owned antique store, restaurant, published cookbooks, had motel chain, men's clothing line, shopping mall. Best pianists? No. Try Rubinstein, Rachmaninoff, Arrau, Horowitz.
@Boydd21 To a degree, yes in that Vladimir Horowitz, Serge Rachmaninoff, etc. were technical virtuosos. But the advantage that Liberace, Castle (and Tatum, to an extent) had was that, visual enhancements aside, their performances were not only technically 1st rate, but they had something the technically obsessed often overlook: heart. Peter Tork once said of Ten Years After guitarist Alvin Lee, "He's technically hot, but he bores me silly". Liberace's music was technically hot. But never boring.
Believe it or not my Aunt Helen taught him piano when he was a little boy.She said he was her best student and the fastest learner,because he had a natural talent for the piano.
I have been a fan of Liberace when T V First apeared. One thing that has been an irritant with me is when he could play a song so fast that it is or was not intertaining. I suppose that no one pointed that out to him. Otherwise, he was a fantastic entertainer.
Liberace was rather handsome when he was young but got kinda scary looking when he got old.Too bad he lived in a time when being gay was criminal,such a talent like that deserved better.
@DarthKreeg I would have to agree with you here. Quite a handsome young man, but I guess physical beauty is only temporary. We all grow old and, eventually, we lose our physical attractiveness. And it is unfortunate for him and many other gay men who grew up in those days and before that.
@DarthKreeg, Lee was forced into court by that idiot that outed him in the 1950's when he was touring in Europe. He was sworn in, asked all kind of questions about the way he dressed, the scents he wore and his sexuality. Because being gay then was criminal he chose to deny it which meant he committed purjury. That can screw up a person's head, not to mention what it would do to ones self esteem. God bless you Lee.
@DarthKreeg Like hello, being the highest paid piano player in the world isn't exactly discrimination. I'm gay and my LGF Maggs and me don't shave which is like totally criminal today.
This must be the youngest video recording of Liberace in existance. Maybe it will go down in history, and Liberace will be rediscovered and be famlous in the future like some other excellent musicians after they have passed away.
Seems like gay men can really play piano & organ and perform popular music well. They got what it takes! In my opinion, I could not see a straight man perform music this well. Joe.
@JoePeterzak I have discovered him through youtube!!! And WOW what a talent,and I am 28 but i don't really like that much music geared towards my age group,I much prefer Liberace over any 'artist' around today. I generally listen to broadway type music
wow. i had never heard of liberace before in the 19 years of my life up until a couple months ago, but his control of the piano was amazing. a great performer.
It seems to me that you are very interested in Liberace, this is the third comment you've made on one of the youtube postings. The strange thing is that all of your comments are very homophobic - well I guess it takes one to know one, you big queen!
You can tell by their grins the 3 girls watching Liberace's hands
were getting wet, but the poor things had to go take cold showers.

This must be the youngest video recording of Liberace in existance. Maybe it will go down in history, and Liberace will be rediscovered and be famlous in the future like some other excellent musicians after they have passed away.
Seems like gay men can really play piano & organ and perform popular music well. They got what it takes! In my opinion, I could not see a straight man perform music this well. Joe.

@JoePeterzak I have discovered him through youtube!!! And WOW what a talent,and I am 28 but i don't really like that much music geared towards my age group,I much prefer Liberace over any 'artist' around today. I generally listen to broadway type music

@7beers Enter the jazz subculture and ask around. It's common knowledge, if it were any different percentage wise we'd know by now.

He did more with his life than you will ever do, and has more talent than you. Nothing about his sexuality could change that.

@DingoHunterDan
It seems to me that you are very interested in Liberace, this is the third comment you've made on one of the youtube postings. The strange thing is that all of your comments are very homophobic - well I guess it takes one to know one, you big queen!
