  This video reached over 55,000 views on YouTube in just under two days, but sadly, a company in South America filed a fraudulent copyright claim against me, alleging that I somehow made a “cover song” of one of their tracks. The song in question was actually a live performance by Liberace from 1953! YouTube claims to have zero tolerance for abusive copyright claims, but this company keeps exploiting the system, often dragging out disputes to the very last minute of the 30-day window, hoping to collect any earnings the video makes in the meantime. If they win, they keep all the revenue. My channel doesn’t make much as it is (please support us by ordering candles and more from CampfireShoppe.com), so I’ve had to take down the video while I fight this dispute. If I win, I’ll make the video public again and hopefully recover the $250 it earned. I’m sorry for the inconvenience—I wish YouTube had a better way to detect and prevent these scams, but for now, we’re stuck dealing with the fallout. Thanks for your support and patience.  -Scott

  I met Liberace in 1983 at his concert when I was 10 years old and got his autograph. He inspired me to play the piano.

  My late wife and I saw Liberace over 50 years ago in Connecticut.  I stood in line after his performance and he signed an album we brought with us.  Still one of one of my best memories.  I still display the album

  I’m a native of Palm Springs.<br>Both my uncles worked for Liberace.<br>One uncle owned a contractor company that helped build Liberace’s house. My other uncle had a sprinkler business, his name was Bob and he was a jokester and kind and treated everyone like family. Liberace liked him and they spent many hours talking and joking through the years that my uncle worked for him.

  I remember him as a very kind and gentle soul who always had a smile. He was a real showman.

  I worked for the City of Los Angeles for 30 years as the chief photographer for the City Council. During that period, I shot over 300,000 photographs. The most memorable day in those 30 years was the day Liberace visited City Hall. Literally everyone in the building wanted a photograph with him. I spent a full 3 1/2 hours with him, shooting hundreds of photos. He was the kindest &quot;celebrity&quot; I ever had the pleasure of meeting. &nbsp;I now live in Las Vegas...I was sad to see his museum and restaurant close their doors.

  I saw Liberace in concert when I was about 14, in the 70’s. My Mom played piano and absolutely loved him. I didn’t want to go, how corny would that be at my age. But, OMG, he was amazing. His costumes and rings and persona was something you’d never imagine. His piano playing was incredible. I don’t know how he could play such difficult songs without sheet music. <br>Thank you for showing this about him. He should not be forgotten.

  All that wealth, just from playing the piano. He was a genius. He did something unheard of when He started His career. He looked directly into the camera and engaged with the viewer. They called Him Mr. Personality. Amazing showman, and very much loved.

  The people who saw his performances are the last Living Memories we have of Liberace. Time really does move within a blink of an eye.

  No generation or society is perfect, but back then, they presented themselves with class and good manners.

  This was a great documentary. My mother saw Liberace and Englebert Humperdinck in Vegas. She&apos;ll be ninety four next month and still talks about it ❤

  This man came from absolutely nothing and made a complete success of his life. It&apos;s so very sad that his legend is forgotten in time as he did so much for the entertainment industry.
