    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!

      I think he would've been foolish, had he not "sold his classical musical gifts" .

    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."

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.

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...!

    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.

      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!!!!

    God bless Little Richard! And Mike Douglas was so unique as a host, because he was always focused on the other person, not on trying to be a smart aleck for a cheap laugh, and he always tried to ask really kind and meaningful questions but without sounding hokey or like he was trying to exploit some emotion out of somebody. You got the feeling he cared about the person he was interviewing, and that was especially meaningful back in the day with the thoughtful and respectful way that he treated all the black guests that he had on his show. As a child shows like this made me think things out there were better than they really were between the races. Merv Griffin did an interview with Martin Luther King that just makes me want to cry now, to see Dr. King speak so eloquently even without a pulpit.

    LIBERACE was one of the greatest pianists of all time. He put on quite a show, true. But if you do a study of his recorded work, there's no question about his musical prowess. Technically perfect. Never a mistake, which is rare. I think it's a bit unfortunate that people appreciated his flash more than his musical genius.
    Little Richard on the other hand, was the real deal. More of a showman, but nonetheless, one of the greats. The Architect of Rock-n-Roll, without question

      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!

      They all returned back to their faith! Little Richard was saved after Elvis died and he sat all night with the body along with James Brown. Someone had threatened to steal Elvis' body before the funeral. Linda Thompson (Bruce Jenners ex) brother was a state trooper and EP's Body gaurd, he stood next to the casket with a loaded shot gun while Richard and James took turn praying and reading from the Bible. He says it was the last friend to die in a LONG LINE of tragic losses. So he promised God to give his life to him, if God would deliver him from Drugs and his emotional burdens. He never went back. 1978- until he died several years ago.
