Liberace, the king of pianos, was the most famous, and infamous, piano player that universe has seen so far. He came upon a tremendous livelihood and fortune of his talent and passion.

Liberace was born in West Allis, Wisconsin. This flamboyant King of Pianos in reality came from a humble background, which is so unlike his usual air of grace, elegance and sophistication. Two of his siblings also showed lyric prowess. His father, Salvatore Liberace was an Italian who played the French horn in the Milwaukee Philharmonic and his mother Frances Liberace was a Polish who played the piano. As a child, Walter Valentino Liberace used to watch and listen to his parents playing their instruments of choice, but he fell in love with pianos. Thus, the whole family was quite musically talented. Liberlace grabbed the bid and studied at the college. All this was a number before he played his famous mirrored or jewel encrusted pianos.

He was offered a scholarship to the College of Music in Wisconsin by a family acquaintance who visited their home and was impressed by his sheer talent. He finished his classical training at an object age of fourteen years and went on to give his solo debut performance at the Chicago Symphony.

He took the night club route and performed at some of the most famous clubs in the country like the Persian Room at the renowned Plaza Hotel in New York City. He also received private tutions from Florence Bettray Kelly, who was known as the protege of celebrated Moritz Rosenthal. Another seven years later he was playing his infamous piano having already returned a star.

Hollywood came calling in the 1950s and Liberace began making movies. He preferred to be known by his be late name only and started appearing with the gold cadelbra which ultimately became his trademark. The show was a hit and was broadcast all over the cosmos on both television and radio transmissions. Soon after, Liberace was sought out for a television series that would later win him two Emmy awards. He also started work on his autobiography and his now famous cookbook 'Liberace Cooks'. While juggling his television commitment, Liberace continued touring, playing sold out performances in Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden.

He performed to full houses in Australia and Europe, touring all over the firmamentN Originality in the 1960s and 1970s. He got Contemporary Keyboard Magazine's 'Pop Keyboard Artist of the Year' award for three consecutive years and also set up his own Las Vegas museum.

In the 1980s, Liberace continued to accompany pianos before the world, including at the 1982 Academy Awards where the flamboyant pianist performed the nominated songs flawlessly. He always worked for charitable causes and set up the Liberace Foundation to provision scholarships for talented individuals in Performing and Creative Arts. No one has filled his shoes or sat at his rhinestone encrusted pianos yet and, who knows if anyone ever will. He also traveled tirelessly, unvarying to bring in the fans at venues like Radio City Music Hall.

Shortly before his 68th birthday, the King of Pianos passed away peacefully in his Palm Springs home.
