  • During my first visit to Pam Springs in the early 90s I was shown a video by Liberace's good friend Vince Fronza of Milton Berle speaking about Liberace the day he passed away. Milton Berle was so heartbroken he could hardly speak. I know too that Phyllis Diller loved Mr. Liberace very much. All testament to the fact that he was a kind and gracious man.

  • At :39 he makes a mistake- the only one I've ever heard him make- and he used to broadcast live in the early 50s. He was very underrated as a pianist because of his showy performances but was very gifted and brought music to millions. His Rhinestone-encrusted Baldwin was on display at the Smithsonian for their '300 years of the piano' exhibit.

  • @Wagonmaster74 no, he was talking about how Liberace inserted a g-flat against the g-natural in one of the trills. Clearly a mistake. The score indicates all the trills as being played the same way, with g-natural. I know, I have the score.

  • wow!

  • @Wagonmaster74

    You know, you don't offer any source for this "fact" about the score. Do you have one?

  • @kelly12h Yes! Indeed it was. He was almost too good. His ability to play out ran my ability to hear, LOL! What would this performance have sounded like live. WOW!

  • Now we know what happened to Elvis` famous gold lame` suit!

  • @OrganCat

    Not a mistake - an "accidental." It is in the score. Some pianists choose to not include the note in their play of the song, because it is a technical misstep and not harmonious. It is, however, scored.

  • @Andyfirthjazz Agreed,there's not a lot of 'real' talent out there anymore

  • that is so cool...i played that one at his museum.

  • i think he did. my dealers dad played with him alot and from what he told me yeah he did all his own stuff
