One of the worst things about our perception of Liberace's legacy is that people focus on his private life and forget he was one of the most incredible musicians and showmen of the last century.

What marvelous comedic chemistry! It's a joy to watch two such big personalities working together so effortlessly.

Love this woman and have seen her many times. I am looking for a tack she did on an old album and the track is called 'Driving'. It is not the 'Driving Downtown' track. Can anyone help?

The only time Liberace danced with a woman:)

Of COURSE I have a Baldwin..... who ever heard of a hairy piano...

OMG, I love Phyllis.... one of St. Louis' own!

Perhaps the pendulum will swing the other way one of these days and we will return to a time of sanity, goodness, and sincerity, as evinced by these two.

@jimmysudar oh my god, me too! Transformers and Thudercats and GI Joe and Masters of the Universe. No longer morning cartoons: now terrible movies!

I miss the talent we used to see on TV with the glammar and the glitz on specials and variety shows. I was hoping Rosie O'Donnell's variety show was going to make it. Now all there are are reality shows and the public is subjected to only amateurs rather than seasoned professionals in the entertainment industry. ...not that there isn't the occasional child prodigy ... but the child prodigies back then ... well Michael Jackson was one of them so enough said.

These 2 would make a good pair.

Phyllis is the girl version of Liberace! lol I love these two together LOL

Have to agree with johonnywad. You feel like you are there with them and the show is just for you. My mother was very english but she loved seeing these two on tv and of course Lucille Ball. These people just exuded something that doesn't seem to exist any more. Liberace was SO gay and so out there that people couldn't knock him.
