Mack the Knife - Poker Face of the Kennedy years.

@jazzbuff630 ....I agree with you.

Damn that was great .........!

@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr Great stars were the products of their time. Liberace, Lawrence Welk, Dean Martin, and the like will never be seen again because the times that begat them are long gone. May the Old Republic rest in peace.
It is no mystery, therefore, to see the products of a society in terminal decay and entropic collapse. Ephemeral celebrities fabricated by marketing focus groups and packaged for fast profit. Our foundations have crumbled to sand and rubble. What good can come from that?

never misses a note. An amazing performer w/class and style never again matched by anyone at any time on this instrument. I think when he died, we started calling musicians "legendary".

There is no comparison to 'famous people' of today (I can't even bring myself to call them entertainers)
Liberace was a truly one-of-a-kind, off-the-charts entertainer who genuinely cared for and Connected with his audience.
I don't think we'll see the likes of this style of class again any time soon.
RIP Lee

We need a Liberace today. Another Dean Martin, as well.

I felt pretty lucky when I got to play a few songs with him. He was brought on board by Baldwin to do some promotions - we had a life-sized card-board image of him by all of the grand pianos.
I was working with Baldwin about 2 months before they brought Liberace into some type of an agreement where he'd endorse, and start using the Baldwin in his performances.
It was a treat indeed; he was gracious and even a bit shy. I finally met 'my idol' - and played 3 songs with him. Fun!

I met Lee several times because he had a part-time house in Lake Arrowhead, where I live. He used to shop in the Jensens market just like anyone else. He was a wonderfully sweet, nice man. No ego, no conceit, just a very nice man.
