I met Liberace in the Talk of the Town in London one night. He was having dinner with a colleague. I asked him for an autograph and he said later and he would find me in an audience of hundreds so I thought that was the last I would see of him. An hour later I saw him walking around the audience and he found me. He signed my wife's place card and we shook hands and had a short chat. It was like putting my hand in a vice. A really decent fellow.
Nobody could top Liberace's piano expertise. NOBODY!! He was the BEST piano player ..possibly in all of history of the human race. Certainly the best in the 20 th Century. 😀😃
I love the way Eva says "Darling"! Her voice and her accent are so sexy. Even at the age of 50, then, she looked amazing. I miss Eva. She was my favourite of the Gabor sisters.
I remember my first time seeing him perform this, a depressingly long time ago. I was obsessed with this song. I'm pretty sure I thought he did actually have an extra leg. I'm also sure I eventually found out how he did it, but looking at it now, I'm trying to work out which was the fake leg.
At a bar in Boca Raton that I went to on occasion, probably about 1986, I expressed my admiration for Liberace's talent. A guy at the bar wanted to beat me up!
My man, Jean Micault, concert pianist and a pupil of Alfred Cortot, always told that Liberace was a fantastic pianist and when himself spoke about Liberace he got stupid reactions from his colleagues. Pure jealousy : Liberace had a real beautiful sound, incredible technic, sensibility and intelligence. His polish-ukrainian roots made him a musician, a great musician in all sense of term.
A great artist and entertainer. As a young boy in the '50's, I would go to the movies every Saturday. It didn't really matter what was playing, I would just go. I saw Liberace's film, "Sincerely Yours". All the patrons there were mature ladies.
