When Liberace was criticised for 'selling out' his classical musical gifts for pop fame, he said he was so upset he cried all the way to the bank...priceless!
_Liberace_ certainly did say that ❗
I think he would've been foolish, had he not "sold his classical musical gifts" .

He brought classical music to many who would never have otherwise appreciated it.
@@wisdomseeker3362 lol Richard and Liberace are a great example of gay gentleman. They R role models the rest of them should imitate.
Are you kidding me, Liberace and Little Richard at the same place?! One of the greatest Flamboyant pianists of all time. Little Richard is pure love and beauty, RIP oh great ones!
@rob2049 Did you mean to say "TWO" of the greatest flamboyant pianists of all time? lol! And yes may they both rest in heaven.
He was gay for a while.
I feel lucky to have seen Little Richard live in Vancouver, RIP Little Richard.
LOVED Little Richard
trop "chouchous" ces due
Little Richard is beautiful. His facial features cheekbones, eyes. Beautiful, talented man❤️
Someone in Douglas's staff knew exactly what they were doing, Liberace, Little Richard and a Fur Fashion Show all in one episode! This can't be a coincidence!! #campclassic 🤣
Agreed 🤣🤣🤣
Both were legends and unique entertainers.
Our Gay forefathers... Breaking down all kinds of obstacles with Wit, talent, and Great Americana Style. With class and humor they let the world know that it's essential to be yourself.

Perfectly said Cory.
Thank you

Liberace and Little Richard together. What a rare and exceptional clip.
he and i shared a conversation in person in L.A. we talked about Hendrix and mick Jagger and life in general i was blessed and will never forget it!
What a great clip
Yes, two exceptional entertainers...RIP Little Richard...
Yesss
@@maryanntorian9468 it's surely are
My mother received tickets to a Liberace concert in Merrillville, Indiana. Now, we lived in Gary, Indiana at the time. She took me and a girl I was dating. I was 17, she was 16. In case you don't know it, we're black folk. This was one of the most memorable concert experiences I've ever had. My girlfriend thought so too. He really was "Mr. Showmanship."
What other shows did you catch around that time?
@@julianciahaconsulting8663 While living in Gary, I saw Prince and Cameo too. My mother saw Michael Jackson in concert...she did not take me to that one...lol!
Can't but love Liberace!

@@jaydenwilliams1489 That's cool bro! I imagine they've built that town up very nicely by now? It was booming growth when I left back in 1985...
I never knew Liberace was so down to Earth. He's well spoken, respectful. Classy guy.
I’ve always liked Little Richards music, but didn’t know much about him. This interview was an eye opener. I have a deeper respect for him and his convictions on how just to be a humble human. Also I used to make fun of Liberace, but he is actually a very talented individual and I take back what ever I thought of him

I loved The Mike Douglas show as a kid. He showcased a lot of black celebrities on his program, I’ll always respect that.
Merv Griffin did the same, many Black artists on there as guests over the years.
I did so ass well.. We all watched it with my mom..
Little Richard and Liberace boy I wonder what they have in common
@@tonybanner2982 Definitely One of The Greatest Unsolved Mysteries In The History Of Mankind !!!....I Guess We Will Never Know !!.......
@@HolgerRuneFan Sure did. Love some Merv.
RIP Liberace and Little Richard. Two masters of showmanship.
For sure. Years ago I saw an interview with Evel Knievel and he stated that Liberace was a big influence for him. The more I thought about it, the flashy jewels, costumes, cape, showmanship made me realize that Evel Knievel was basically Liberace with a motorcycle.
Icons, like them or not
Indeed both masters at their craft.
@@tomtalker2000 Yeah, master on their knees.
Amen
Liberace was so attentive and polite to Little Richard. Class act.
It is easy to see, with Mike's easy conversational skills, why his show was such a hit.
Mike Douglas had a chat show at the time when people had class.
No sensationalism, no hype, no drama, no b.s…..just a nice visit with good conversation and some humor.
Little Richard had so much charisma, How could you not love the guy?
“You know, close up, you really are beautiful!” - Mike Douglass 😂😂🤣 Richard came out stylin’ with the mirror outfit! Love him forever! 👑
I met him on a flight to London in the year 2k and he gave me an autographed photo...still have it today 💜
He was 38 or so and foine!
But the hairy chest ruined the whole look.
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj No.
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj No, I can't agree with that! David Bowie was a big fan and his wife bought him one of Little Richard's old jackets with the glass ornaments, but he said they had not realized what a big man Richard was--Bowie said the jacket looked huge on him. Richard was always muscular and Bowie always looked slim. I saw Bowie live, but never Richard and really wish I had.
Little Richard had it all, looks, personality, mega talent.
…except a nonjudgmental society that could have prevented him experiencing internalized homophobia…
@opalessence4818 By all accounts, he lived a very happy. content life after he returned to his faith and renounced his sinful ways. He was kind of a fixture in Nashville for years. BTW, his testimony is available in several interviews done over several decades and is very compelling.
...and most of all, a relationship with GOD.
@@opalessence4818 , He turned from sin because he loves Jesus. (John 14:21)
and a dk up his (__X__) lmao
When you look beyond the glitter, and hear what he has to say, Liberace was a genuine, nice person. A decent human being.
Unless you're a fur-bearing animal, that is. Then he was a soulless mass murderer with no shame.
@microfoon8648 💯!!! His vanity was more important than those poor, crated, tortured innocent creatures 😢
He loved animals. He took in 5 unwanted dogs! He loved them! 🐶 There will always be fur coats. That’s just how it is.

Two of the best Queens who done it. They won't be forgotten. Never miss Mike Douglas Show when I got home from school back in the early 70s he let a lot of black entertainers shine on his show.Much respect to Mike Douglas
Very much a gentleman classic Me. Douglas
Queens?
Absolutely ! ❤️
Richard ain't no queen!

In 1970 I worked at the Whisky ago go and Little Richard had a 10 day engagement there. Every night the house was packed. He was kind and gracious, said hello to everyone when he came in through the front door to everybody. Not to mention, the shows were great and he was always dressed in some mirrored outfit.
How marvelous! Thank you for commenting. I love that.
Did you see the Doors there?
LOL, I moved to LA in 1990 and happened to be on the corner of Hollywood and Highland with my dad when the light changed and a white limo stopped. I found myself staring at the tinted rear side window wondering what hotshot was inside when the window suddenly went down and this basketball sized, black head looked straight at me and screamed 'WOOOOOOOOOOOO", and it was Richard!!!! My dad screamed "Jesus Christ, it's LITTLE RICHARD!!!!", everyone turned and cheered and he waved, and then as quick as that, the window went up, the light changed and it was over. My dad and I will never forget that and still laugh about it today...!
Aww, I know Little was just like that.
That's truly amazing! You should write a book about your experiences on the strip. My friends band played Whisky in the 90's, and it was a great show! I've noticed that the truly great artists like Richard and others, never forget where they came from!
I am a drummer of more than thirty years and first thing I noticed is Le keeping time with his left leg using his right for the mute pedal, all the while playing with both hands separately. Amazing !
Words cannot describe how excited I am to have clicked this video. Liberace and Little Richard are the absolute shit!!! ❤️
Same here!
Both of these men had God given talents, but it took a lot of hard work to become the entertainers they were destined to become. Liberace played to nothing but sold out nights at the Las Vegas Hilton, and I can still feel the excitement. He improved every room. I regret greatly never having had the experience of seeing Little Richard. He reeked of talent, and self confidence. Above all else, Little Richard gave the glory to God. People have been known to complain over misplaced car keys, but to fight his way out of poverty(and take his family with him), without complaint, and then fight his way to the top is astonishing to me. I'll shut up now.
Well said 👏🏾
@Terry S.
Little Richard was one of a kind. He lived in Watts, California, where I was
raised. He was a devout Seventh Day Adventist"'...and always gave God
the Glory, in all things. He was an ordained minister, and for a while, he
preached at a ""Tent Revival Service""....in Los Angeles, on Crenshaw Bl.
and Adams Blvd. Whenever Richard would come to L.A., he'd call, and my
friend Peter, and I, would meet him at a restaurant in Hollywood. Richard
was so silly at times, he'd always leave us laughing. Richard preached
well, but he couldn't make a living singing ""Old Rugged Cross"".. he had
to go back to the studio, record another hit, but it was always, God that
he spoke of. Richard had a son, not sure what happened to him. He
was simply, ""A Loving Man, who always shared, and showed, his love
for God. At the rate this world is going, we might see Richard, kinda
sorta soon!!!!
@@vivianclaiborne7653 How lucky you were to have known him. Your memories of him must be rich in humor, and spirituality. Yes, the world could sure use many more men like him. It does seem to be much more bad than good in world these days, and it might be the result of the lack of spirituality that your friend Little Richard found so important in life. Thank you for sharing.
Talent isn't given and certainly not by "god" don't down play their hard work then try to recover by something "but it took hard work" IT WAS ALL HARD WORK. Your people "christians" were and are the ones making it difficult for people like them (gay) to just live their life..
@@hughmann9568 I've heard this nonsense from people just like you, with an opinion on what they think sounds intelligent, but it's not you know. I know it stings that God may have overlooked you in the talent department, but you can always make yourself useful by saying less, and in so doing, you'll be saying more. Granted, when you've had very little life experience, you tend to parrot what you've heard. When you become your own man, the mention of God won't intimidate you anymore.
So nice to see Little Richard. I had no idea what a sincere man he was as well. Very cool they both took care of their mothers after they became famous, and even have them living with them.
I could listen to Little Richard all night. The host is a delight. Not a hint of racism or homophobia. I loved when he says to L.R how he’s beautiful up close. That’s a man comfortable with his own sexuality. Great stuff. ( I’m Irish and we never had this show here).
Later in life, Little Richard stated he was no longer gay.
@@maddmonk505 That's like Jupiter saying it's no longer a planet.
@@akrenwinkle meaning... he didn't "engage" in it anymore.
@@maddmonk505 If Little Richard ever said he was, was formerly, had been gay, I never heard about it. I have news for you: you can be gay or straight and not "engage" in anything. Sexuality is in the mind.
@@akrenwinkle lol Well hell, if YOU haven't heard about it, must not be true, huh? Just Google it. Ain't that hard. BTW, I have news for you too: acting on it is the problem NOT what's in the mind, bruh
51 years later and I didn’t get bored watching this. I was born in 1978 and always loved Little Richard. I didn’t know anything about Liberace but now I’m interested in learning about his music. I wish talk shows were like this today!
Me too, today it's garbage.
Liberace was one in a million never will he be duplicated again. when he died his mansion in las vegas sat abandoned little did the squatters whom slept there know but his dresser he used every night before performing at the hilton had a false bottom and inside it sat over 4 million dollars in jewelery
They actually were up until about 30 years ago. Then reality tv happened smdh.
@@stevenbean9706 I have a false bottom, too.

Wait A Minute !!!.....Am I Seeing This Right !!??........Liberace And Little Richard On The Same Billing !!??......TALK ABOUT A SUMMIT MEETING !!!!!!!........
Yo, I remember watching this on TV. Crazy!
Where you expect ing a reaction from your comment ?
I'm not a vain person but I have experienced sure greatness !!!
Yup. Two great big ole queens, the mothers of us all! Flame Christina, Flame!
I couldn't pass up an opportunity to see Liberace and Little Richard sitting on the same couch. :D
1970 I was 10 years old, used to watch Mike with my mom. Loved his shows but I never got to see Liberace play before. Dang, he was quite the showman.
Such friendly interviews, I miss those types of public interactions. It feels like recent years, so many interviews are based on the drama these public figures are dealing with. A nice and respectful exchange, I love it. AND the love that Liberache had for his dogs... melted my heart, so dang sweet. Lil Richard is never enough, I always want more..... when he said "The beauty is on duty" I fell out my seat; almost forgot how much he filled my heart with joy. He was all about the power of love, his belief if God was relentless..... he knew he was special, a gift to the world.
The atmosphere shifted when Little Richard unapologetically shared the power of God's love. They weren't ready for that truth coming from someone who looked like him but truth is truth no matter where it comes from.
That’s nice and all but if a person doesn’t repent from their homosexual ways and go straight, then He’s not going to know you on judgement day.
@@SixTenVisuals Thou shall not judge!
@@bobholmes65 Thou shall not blaspheme. Btw, LR turned away from homosexuality and towards God later in life, and was a preacher at one point, so Amen!
@@SixTenVisuals Not everyone believes in your religion so that's ok.

"That Ain't No Secret! 😳😂😆🤣
Mike Douglas had the most remarkable guests. He had the ability to get great and legendary performers, that rarely appeared on tv.
Omg little Richard - made me cry. What a beautiful soul. The world needs more of him.
Little Richard was my Mom’s favourite I can see why now . He’s fantastic wowwwwwww . Not only talented great sense of humour intelligent but a real lovely person . Great interview . Liberace and Little Richard two greats .
I thought that I would just watch until Little Richard was done, but I stayed for the duration; glad I did. It was very interesting and entertaining. R.i.p. to all of them.
Liberace was a wonderful human being, just listening to him on the show, he displays a genuine sense of compassion and a love of life. RIP ❤️
I LOVE Liberace with my HEART!!!
Uhm... Maybe you should check into his worship life and you'll probably want to reconsider and then edit your glowing characterisation.
Tasos really! Well I have no intention of changing my comments!
@@redwandennaoui4508 That's cool. Pardon me for presuming you'd rethink endorsing a Satanist.

When Little Richard speaks it's so mesmerizing I just love him he is truly touched by God..♥♥ This whole show was PERFECTION.. Great Men..
He was great. Very intense guy. I used to play his music a lot while driving, that was a lot of fun.
Pure charisma

Richard was an amazing talent and bigger than life personality. Very intelligent and endlessly interesting. May he rest in peace. Loved this video
Talk About what a pairing of guests on one show. Two show business icons & both piano men. Thanks for posting this video.
Little Richard's number here was proof!
I read one of Richard’s books where he said he wanted to be just like his mother because she was so beautiful.
Yes, Little Richard loved his Mother so very much. My late husband and myself had the pleasure of actually talking to Little Richard, at a dinner show, we attended and he sit with us, and he told us how he got his gene's and looks from his beaufical Mother. He was such a elegant and kind man. May he rest in heavenly peace..

This was a great show! The performances and Little Richard's interview were amazing! His speaking about GOD'S LOVE was my favorite part😇💙🫡
Amen. Richard used this opportunity to tell listeners, drugs are not life giving, they are destructive. God is the giver of life, salvation, and love. Where are the entertainers with the courage to promote Jesus?
@@elizabethilling9387- This is what I remember most about him. Unfortunately, it was after his passing, as an old man on the stage at church talking about Jesus! He’s proof that you can be gay and not act on it.
Wow, I just found these awesome performances from Liberace and Little Richard! Now, this is pure talent💯. NO, lip-synching,fake band, can’t sing, naked/nasty dance, rapping and cursing. I miss real music but I’m so happy for TH-cam. RIP gentlemen🙏🏾
👍They’re just beautiful people. I love their kindness and personality. They seem to be genuinely nice people. 💝
Little Richard and Liberace knew how to be stylish! Their outfits were killing it. #Stylegoals
Hey Adrian! Funny seeing you here! Agree that both - and Douglas - had pure hearts. Liberace always hypnotized me with his music. Hope you are doing well! (I’m here under a pseudonym.)
@@Victoria-ni3tf What a surprise! 🤣
I was amazed by this strange guest combination because it was unlikely that Little Richard and Liberace to be on the same TV show. Mike Douglas always brought people together. On a personal note, I am doing OK.
My 2nd Little Richard interview. Never realized he was so profound! My new hero!
I watched the Mike Douglas Show hundreds of times after school. I never appreciated at the time how great he was and how great so many of his guests were.
He's my all time favorite talk show host!
True.
Liberace comes across here as a warm, caring man.
he was♡
Animal rights....wow
And well-received by the vast majority!
I always admired Mike Douglas.
My cousin’s mother-in-law went to see him perform once and a lady in the audience complimented him on one of his rings (it was a small audience) and he took it off his finger right then and there and gave it to her.
From all accounts he was indeed.
Didn't realize that all three Men were rather short. But beside this Liberace and Little Richard were both talented beyond words..pure gifts from God.
I believe Little Richard is 6 ft tall. The other two are definitely shorter by 2 or 3 inches.
Liberace is/was 5' 10"... neither short, nor particularly tall. He was born in 1919 but claimed 1920 (vanity? convenience?).
All three were 5'10", not at all short but average.
NOOOOOO. Little Richard was 6'5.
@@imasonofadeadbeat2928 little Richard was 6'5
I grew up in the 90´s listening to mean jokes about Liberace. This man was a genius and deserve nothing but respect! Mr. Liberace, you certainly have a new fan here!
When Little Richard started singing That was a good touch the guy on the right kicking out each leg🎉
Great to see them together . Little Richard spoke of doctor saying he would die (1970), he didn’t pass till 2020. May the both rest easy.
I so love Little Richard. Dig the way he gets that song going....like a steam train. He starts out with an audience clap, get that deep rockin' groove going...chug, chug, chug...then he adds a little at a time (guitar, bass drums, etc.), until that train is a huffin' and a puffin' down that track then he gets to the most important part...those incredible tenor sax vocals of his..swooping and soaring all over that train. To me he was the absolute embodiment of rock 'n roll.
Agreed! His voice was phenomenal. The force and electric rhythm of his singing could make anybody feel the power of rock and roll.
Little Richard was one of a kind musician. We'll never see another like him. Same with Leon Russell. And they were friends. Ever listen to Leon's song "Crystal Closet Queen"?
It’s 2023 and we say the same thing our youth are not familiar with the 60’s / 70’s legends. How delightful these gentleman are
randomly decided to look at Liberace after 35 years on this planet .... I have seriously been missing out... this man is fucking phenomenal, I am addicted. I dont think my generation understands how legendary this man is. I had no clue what I was getting myself into
Do you have to use profanity? You may not know you are seriously offending JESUS! Be A Role-Model!
@@messiahapostle8239 OK Karen, don't get your Jesus panties in a wad.

I can imagine a young Prince Nelson watching this and making notes. Cool left handed bassist.
I’m glad someone else recognized that😉😉😉
he played the bass upside down, he didn't string it for a lefty, the high string is on top, amazing
@@rrdream2400 a'la Jimmi Hendrix, I believe he played the 6 sting the same way !
@@jokerioafm12 yes he did which always amazed me, Jimi could play strung righty or lefty
Have a look at Mononeon.
Liberace was no joke. Unbelievable pianist.
Many overlook his talent because of how flamboyant he was and focus only on that, but that man was a wizard on the piano.
Absolutely. If he was no good he wouldn't have stayed up there for so long. I was not a fan, but I still respect talent no matter how it is dressed up.
However his choice of material to play was suspect and , in my opinion, let him down.
He was a concert pianist before he became a TV star. He actually played a Liszt piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when he was young man. But I think he saw that TV offered him fame and fortune and that’s what he wanted.
I had a Boss who's Wife 's Family was Friends with him. Her Aunt was his fake girlfriend for awhile. When he died they got an invite to his Funeral, and he brought it to work to show us.
Very underrated talent right here folks! ((Little Richard)
I NEVER KNEW LIBERACI WAS SO DOWN TO EARTH.
I really enjoyed this. Grew up in the 70s. Enjoyed both Liberace and Little Richard especially on a show together. Both of them had great personalities and great talent. Also hats off to Mike Douglas for being all great show host. Ahhhhhh the 70s
Little Richard should be acknowledged for the fashion icon that he was. He inspired Prince’s look.
He influenced Prince’s career
Liberace was a funny, incredibly great pianist & a great human being. I used to skip school to watch his TV show. A musical ambassador.
The doctor told him he was going to die, he said when it's time the Lord will take him and he blessed him with another 50 years after this
I miss old talk shows because they had actual conversations. When a co-host appears five times in a week you can get to know them. Talk shows today are mostly about the hosts and their big heads.
So true. They only come on to advertise their latest movies or shows. The one entertaining exception I find is the Graham Norton Show from BBC, a group of grownups, and a wildly funny host...having fun!
Lol
I was thinking the same thing! We also didn't get to see the "stars" very often so it was a real treat to watch a show like this. Can you imagine being a co-host for a whole week?
They also put very diverse personalities together to make great tv. Putting two poorly-closeted flamboyant celebrities on at the same time during a fashion show was genius.
Ditto
I used to come home from school and watch the Mike Douglas show everyday. It was always the best. This made me so nostalgic! ♥️
Did you babysit Jesus 😂 I'm joking
As a rock musician (guitarist), Little Richard is like the 'god' of my craft. An amazing musician and person who will be sorely missed.
Didn't know he played guitar 🎸 🤔 he did however bang on a piano 🎹

Bless little Richie speaking the word of God!
He's sincere, too! What he says is true! 10 years ago, I myself was ill with blood poisoning, and by the conventioninal logic, I should have died.So I had to rack my brain to try out solutions. I thought that by rights , surely you can't be alright one moment, and at death's door the next moment! So, as Little Richard thought, I too thought that we need to be here "As long as the good Lord wants". So we have to disregard conventional thinking, because both Little Richard, and myself DID recover!
Amen
He kept him close
Real words...
AMEN
It would have been something to see both Liberace and Little Richard play a duet.
If they had been serious about music and performance, they would have done so. But of course, they were not serious..
I bet they DID ,that night after the show.
@@metsfanatic6270 not THAT kind of a duet😆
I love Little Richard's sense of self-love. You must have it in order to love others. And he did. I love the posititve messages he gave, without sounding preachy❤️❤️❤️

😂👍
IKR!! You LITERALLY read my mind!

OMG, yes, lol!
LMAO...2-Shay!!!
I just recently discovered little Richard, I wan not raised en the US, though I always liked American music but never got the opportunity to really listen to him or acknowledge him since just recently, and I have really have enjoy him, his music and him as a person.
alfonso You have great taste! ;- )
Used to watch Liberace when he had his own show - then saw him in person when working in Bloomingdales. What a magnificent talented pianist.
Any/every chance to see Little
Richard I did not miss he had "IT"!!! He was beautiful, funny, he spoke truths HE WAS THE MUSIC - loved, miss them both very much!!!
In the days when class meant CLASS and TASTE in music and fashion. Rest in Peace Liberace and Little Richard. Mike Douglas always had a great show.
True. Our entertainers had class. Miss our YESTERYEARS.
What a delightful man. Love his showmanship. We will never have a Liberace. They just don't make them like him any more. A true artist and just a lovely person.❤
Lil Richard and Liberace were like two peas in a pod. Both were Flamboyant AF!!!
Ohhhhh shudddddup
I hope you notice that they didn't swear or use profanities as well!
@@Super241946 True. They were true professionals.
They were some bad bitches lol
Both were talented AF.
There's not enough glitter in the universe to celebrate this guest line-up!!!!!!
Liberace seems genuinely like such a nice guy. I would have loved to met him.
Wow!!! It feels like I'm there in the moment when he gave his respects to Jimi Hendrix. Love Lil' Richard.
Little Richard was decades ahead of his time.
Two of the best piano 🎹 players in the world and yet so different and all generations love them
LOVE LITTLE RICHARD AND LIBERACE WAS SIMPLY A GENIUS ❤
Liberace, always smiling, had a pack of rescue dogs, eight tailors, great tastes, flamboyant and sensible, piano skillz, what a great guy!
That was an amazing piece of television history!
Honestly, I adore Liberace, I believe he was just as sweet and gentle as he appeared to be.
just gotta love Little Richard. the king of rock n roll!!!!
Love him yourself
*Saw Little Richard at a buffet restaurant in Georgia once. Seemed like he was feeding his crew. What a vivacious, giving person.*
All three of them were very humble, especially Liberace.
I wish Little Richard were with us today. We need him more than ever
And Liberace. And Mike Douglas.
@@zoso73and Thomas willkie William's Smith
Liberace played like it was effortless! Little Richard played like the house was on fire! And Mike Douglas was on at 3:30PM for all the housewives to watch! Those were the days!

Sure we're. The best afternoon program.
Mike Douglas was one of the nicest hosts too. My mom loved him
Yes it was
@@boomerang905 my mom and dad love him too
From age 5,to 7 watched this show with my Grand Mom...she watched us after school...Wow...
Been a huge fan of Liberace since I was a child. Little Richard is one of a kind. If there was more like this on tv I may start watching it again.
🙏
Little Richard was ahead of his time! He would fit so well with the world of today compared to then
This was a great Era in Daytime Television with true Stars. Liberace was always entertaining and a terrific guest.
Little Richard is always entertaining musically and when he talks
Agreed
AMEN AMEN. THE ALMIGHTY HELD LIL RICHARDS HAND N HE WENT BK TO HIS GOSPEL ROOTS
Shut Up. lol. Richard always said, that !
Lee was such a kind man, and he had the most soothing voice. Of course his musical talent was just outstanding!
I think Liberace was one of the greatest pianists that ever lived, rest in heaven sir Liberace!!!!!
This Little Richard performance sounds so good, makes ya wanna drive fast
Today this show made my day!!
Me too!
same for me here
Despite his eccentricities, Liberace was a phenomenal piano player.
Amen Little Richard He is a loving person and who could not fall in love with him and his personality He is too funny!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Awomen
I'm glad Little Richard made the change in his life that he needed to. After so many losses and such much pain, he was led to fully follow Jesus🙏✝️😍.
Love thy neighbour sending weapons to Ukraine Jesus?
Which is disturbing in itself.
I love Prince, but u gotta admire he definitely took a good amount of his style from little Richard.
Richard is the originator. Such a legend
There was an influence there BUT Prince definitely had his own very distinct style. He too was an original and there was no one like him.
Duh🙄
Yes he did.
@@chippy7745 you are right about that
