Another touching tribute to his mum, Liberace introduces her entrance to his show, reminisces about their family and family home and finally sings to her.
I was working for a business machine company in Southern California during the late 70's. We had a service call for a repair at a Country Club in Palm Springs one day so I made the drive out. When I got there, it was just after noon and there were a lot of older gentleman in the building. Any way, after I finished the service call, one of the men asked me if I was hungry, as they had a real nice lunch menu and he would buy me lunch. At first I tried to excuse myself, but he was kindly insistent. I accepted, but was a bit shy about it. The man, by this time I realized I recognized him, but couldn't quite put a name to his face, walked me to the dining room and told the Maitre D' that he was buying my lunch and to give me anything I wanted. It was then I finally realized, THAT"S LIBERACE !!!! I stood there a bit, totally star struck, but accepted his hand-shake and couldn't thank him enough. I I asked him if he didn't mind if I could get his autograph, he then said, "you go ahead and eat, I'll leave something for you in the office, make sure you check with them before you leave". On the way out, I stopped in the office and the woman who worked there gave me an envelope that had Liberace's photo and an personal autograph. I still have it, and have always thought back on that meeting with great fondness. He seemed like the most genuine, kind hearted and decent human being.
Oh you lucky man ... what a very special moment for you. I only discovered Mr. Liberace just now (at age 54) and wonder on which moon I have lived so far, not to have heard about him ... and I am in the classical music. Sadly, it seems to me, the world has forgotten about Liberace.
Thank you so so much for saying these nice things about Liberace I hate Scott thorson and his lies I hate that film they made of his book grossley exaggerated only saw lee once in person in concert in 1956 because I have been ill and in and out if hospital all my life been hid fan 65 years got all his DVDs CDs videos all books he write my lovely late husband liked him too xxxxx
@@cathrinrehder6652 om Gosh Cathrin! I'm 54 too but Liberace was so big on tv in the 70's how'd you miss! Him and Lawrence Welk show! ( and Sonny & Cher show)💞
@@gabrielabarros2036 she seemed to just look in wonderment. But you know everyone has a completely different personality. Probably just in Shock on him became so Famous
To Lorraine and Rose........................................yes, you are soooooo right ! What a man and human being, just so sweet and lovely man. I miss him a lot. In the Mexican Latina family, we had also our so beautiful singer and man and human being Juan Gabriel who is no longer with us so bless them and thank you both for you being you and to the mothers who gave birth to these beautiful human being who gave us so much Love and enjoyment in our life.

@@sharksport01 that movie was based on what Scott Thorson said. Quite a shady character. Fools will believe anything and everything. Ps. It's okay to love someone and feel free when they die. She may have been demanding but he loved her.
after reading most comments i realized most people talk about the man's sexuality but fail to acknowledge the man's accomplishments. He was a child prodigy and left millions towards music programs for the less fortunate, Nobody is perfect in this life, Perhaps people should get a mirror and take a look at themselves without passing judgements on others.
Great reply Aubrey. At least he was a gentleman. Great performer and as you informed us a philanthropist who has helped others. Very nice tribute to his mom. Now I miss my sweet mother.
I'll take it further...his business...cool dude, master magician and artist. Sincerely Rock/Metal/Disco/Oldies/93.5 KDay Fan. And sense of humor, his quote " I had nothing to do with it" unquote. Humility.
A dear friend of mine was privileged to have a brother that was a piano tuner for Liberace. A good man and excellent employer adds to the list of attributes of this powerful entertainer.
Remember watching Liberace with my Mum and Dad he was brilliant what an entertainer, and most of all he makes you feel happy. He had very relaxed delivery he makes it look easy you need class to perform like that.
As a child in the 70s Liberace was like a treat. He was on tv pretty regularly, for whatever reason. And he just came across as so fun and so amazing. He was beloved by old ladies and little kids alike.
His amazing grace and genius was incomparable. Liberace was the consummate entertainer that brought pure joy to many millions of his fans, and he was genuinely kind and considerate to everyone he met. A rare example of the best of human qualities on God's Earth.
You said it!!! He was a very sweet and caring man too. He seemed quote gentle too. Sure wish there was more like him. Shame young people dont have a clue who he was for the most part. I got bullied in high school for being a fan. I'm 40 now and still love this man,I now have friends that are fans. My mom was a big fan too
Such a lovely man. You can see the love in his eyes for his mother; and her love for him. I have seen many interviews with celebrities who were Liberace's friends, and they say he was always so generous; cooking for them, bringing gifts, a dear friend. He was a wonderful showman and all of his shows were so glamorous. I wish I could have met him.
@@breakfastsurreal5650 Thats awesome I have done the same. I'm younger than a lot of his core fanbase,but my mom was a huge fan. Once I started looking him up about 12 years ago on youtube I couldnt help but love him he's def one of my favs now
@@balto4 same, I was born in 79, my dad loved him since he was a little kid though and I'm a musician for over 30 years now so I really respect his ability!!!!
@@breakfastsurreal5650 Wow thats awesome I was born in 81 sadly never saw him live but my mom did in 73 and to this day she said no one matched that show. Cant help but love him he had a great personality and an amazing talent
What a lovely thing to do for his mom. I hope everyone that watches this video and still has a mom would pick up the phone and give her a call. Many times it is too late to do it and regret comes back to punish. So, pick up that phone and call your mom...
You can say whatever about him, but this man was one of the kindness people you can ever encounter. So much love and respect for his mom…beautiful. What a nice soul.
I am a Mom and what Mother wouldn't want to be adored like he did his, so very sweet! I am lucky enough that my son adored me, I think this speaks volumes about the man, God Bless you!
My daughter & I went to his concert when we lived in Vancouver. That was in ‘78 I believe. I was reorganizing recently & found those two tickets......which I was reminded, looking at them, cost us $35 each!!! Unbelievable compared to what they would’ve cost TODAY!!! 😁👍🏻🇨🇦
Liberace was flamboyant, lavish, and one of a kind, but he did it with class and charm. He was one if the greatest entertainers of all time, and I love watching his performances on TH-cam still. You could tell he loved his mom, and she was proud of him. She was a sweet, elegant lady from what I see. He was one of a kind, and the world is left a little dimmer with him gone from it. RIP Liberace.
This shows a parents' unconditional love for their child regardless of lifestyle. I lost my Mom who was a music teacher and singer about three years ago and this song really moved me.
Say what you will but Lee was a very nice and giving person. He loved his family, this was evident. Not a perfect person but who is. The world could use more people like him. Take care everyone.
You should look up one of his earlies vid's on youtube, from the 50's. He was sitting at the piano (of course) and I was shocked when I heard him sing! He had a beautiful voice!
He was every mother‘s dream come true, and at one point every woman’s dream come true as well, if they only knew the truth. I’ve always loved Liberace, I was born in 68, growing up in the suburb of Toronto, thinking I was the only gay kid on the planet, until I saw him on television and I knew instantly that I wasn’t alone. Even though he himself never officially came out, fearing it would destroy his career, which it probably would have during those days unfortunately, I looked up to him as a role model, and I never really had a chance to meet him, he will always and forever have my deepest gratitude and love for showing me that it’s not the end of the world and that I can be anything I wanted to be, thanks Lee, you’re the best!!! ❤️ from Toronto
Another thing I love about him is that he was so elegant and classy. I loved how he just wore incredible clothes, rocked anything and took pride in everything he did. Lee also adored Christmas, as I do. I wish I could invite him over for Christmas and decorate together. I wish I could of met you, hear you in person. Such a special man. 💕✨😘🌹🌠⭐
What a wonderful tribute to his Mother. I am a Pianist from a much younger generation, but loved Liberace and thought he was one of America's Great Entertainers. I loved his flamboyant style... so much Fun!
This just says it all how we feel about our moms.If this video does not bring tears to your eyes you better check to see if your human.Regardless of everything that is said about Liberace he treated his mother like gold.......

He was A very kind person , for sure some of these celebrities these days could learn a thing of two from him . !
What an amazing story! Such a beautiful man with a great heart
@@cathrinrehder6652 om Gosh Cathrin! I'm 54 too but Liberace was so big on tv in the 70's how'd you miss! Him and Lawrence Welk show! ( and Sonny & Cher show)💞
I like the way he says "she's a great-grandmother you know, I had nothing to do with it" then he laughs, I like that bit!
A son who loved his mother so much is a good man!!!
Did you see the movie Candleabra? I don't think he loved her that much.
In behind the Candelabra He said He felt free after her death. I dont think they had this good relationship in Real life
@@gabrielabarros2036 she seemed to just look in wonderment. But you know everyone has a completely different personality. Probably just in Shock on him became so Famous
A man who doesn’t spend time with family is not a man
@@gabrielabarros2036 i saw that 2..
A Polish mother, grandmother and great grandmother. The best.
Yes it's obvious that Liberace got his polish features from his mother.
she is half polish half german
@@user-uo3tm1dv5i his bio says both his mother’s parents were Polish. Sorry. You must be German.
what a proud mother she must have been to have borne a son like this - an absolute musical genuis - and a gentleman
Well said, Lorraine. He was a one-in-a-billion musical genius, a gentleman, and by all accounts, a gracious gentle soul. He was something else.
To Lorraine and Rose........................................yes, you are soooooo right ! What a man and human being, just so sweet and lovely man. I miss him a lot.

You are totally right.
He was brilliant, him and Richard Clayderman are my favourite pianists
THIS LADY IS SO PRETTY AN HER BEAUTIFUL HAIR. I ALWAYS ADMIRED LEE AND HE HAD THE MOST FABULOUS HAIR. PLUS A REAL GENIUS HE WAS TOO.
I never knew Liberace could sing. And one of the best smiles in show business.
no matter what anyone said about Liberace...he sure adored his Mother... a gentlemen to the end!
Agreed
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
"Free at last, free at last!!
Thats what Liberace said when his mother died.
@@sharksport01 that movie was based on what Scott Thorson said. Quite a shady character. Fools will believe anything and everything. Ps. It's okay to love someone and feel free when they die. She may have been demanding but he loved her.
@Sob Baget
That's what Steve Garey said. He knew Liberace better than Scott Thorsen, or you.
I don't think Liberace would have done this bit if he didn't want to. It's sweet and I think he loved his mom.
Yea he wanted to, to please the fans. he had a certain image to keep up. I'm not saying he didn't love her, be she wasn't all you think she was.
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors ,
When kids get grown they dont need mother any more, they want to live their own life !
@@lisaaugustin5400 I'm 41 and I still need my mother.
I see dollar signs in his mother's eyes.
Liberace loved his Mother. It shows in the song he sang for her. I always loved watching him play piano.
He was so kind, why am I crying now??

Yea Liberace could play the piano like nobody's business.
Aubrey Caraballo Matt Damon and Debbie Reynolds together!!
Aubrey Caraballo no
Well said.
Beautiful mother: class, manners and style.
He was a damn fine pianist. His life was music. His growing up was about entertainment. He was an entertainer.
He always looked so happy to perform .
He was called Mr Showmanship
He was born to perform
Gay or no gay, he was a very special entertainer, impossible not to like him.
I'll take it further...his business...cool dude, master magician and artist. Sincerely Rock/Metal/Disco/Oldies/93.5 KDay Fan. And sense of humor, his quote " I had nothing to do with it" unquote. Humility.
my mom always said "I could live without him"
AurelioJose Rodriguez It is True. Good man.
Well Said
massive COCK WAS IS ENEMY
Such a fine young man and with a surprisingly good singing voice! Both Liberace and Elvis Presley treated their mothers with respect.
Both of them had a great sense of style! It is beautiful to see well dressed people.
I just love looking at them
The man was an icon, and talented. Nearly 30 years after his passing everything else is irrelevant.
He was the most gentle soul I ever saw!. I admire the fact he loved his Mother!. He had a great a wonderful sense of humor.
I'm surely not Liberace's mother ; but his song to his mother touches my heart.....so very genuinely kind and sweet to show such love to his mother .
He was good to his mother. He's alright with me. May his soul rest in peace with our HEAVENLY FATHER.
Oh yes it is. His real mother.
@@carloszenon4562 I Agree
Beautiful
I love how he loved his mother! That says so much about his character, loyalty and beautiful heart!❤she must have been so proud !❤❤❤❤❤❤

He said something similar to: I don't play, I put on a show. There's such a difference between the two, ya know?

I wouldn't call a pedophile a lovely man 😉
REALLY.....YOU WERE A FRIEND OF HIS????? STFU.
In certain US states, 16 is the legal age of consent.
longblackhair You didn't get your facts straight before you posted.
Based on Scott’s book he didn’t really like her much and said that when she died he said “I’m now free”
We're still proud of him to this day in Milwaukee!! He was always so cordial to others. He treated people the way we should all treat one another!

I've known about Liberace for 40+ years and never knew he was a decent singer too!
A true legend!
This shows a parents' unconditional love for their child regardless of lifestyle. I lost my Mom who was a music teacher and singer about three years ago and this song really moved me.
What a sweet and generous man and oh so talented!!!
Love it 🤩
He had a wonderful voice…I have vague memories of him watching TV Shows with Mom and Dad in the 1960’s and 70’s….
Say what you will but Lee was a very nice and giving person. He loved his family, this was evident.
Not a perfect person but who is. The world could use more people like him.
Take care everyone.
What a sweet heart! He was a doll❤️
A wonderful man and his Mum .. nothing more. ♥️
So sweet to his mom. He was a sweet soul.
One of the greatest showman. He was great.
It is a great video, I like the way he sings it directly to her and she sits and absorbs it looking right back at him!
I didn't know he could that well he was a good singer
You should look up one of his earlies vid's on youtube, from the 50's. He was sitting at the piano (of course) and I was shocked when I heard him sing! He had a beautiful voice!
He did sing good, I was surprised he did sing so well
