That's an easy on Geoff.
Liberace was known for his music, candelabra, charisma, diamonds and dazzle for many years prior to his death 4th February 1987.
During his career peak Liberace acquired an astounding array of prestigious awards, including: Instrumentalist of the Year, Best Dressed Entertainer and Entertainer of the Year.
He also earned two Emmy Awards, six gold albums & TWO stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's highest paid musician and pianist. Best of all, he was known and loved throughout the world as "Mr. Showmanship."
He was an avid 4 wheel driver and once drove to a gig in a
bright yellow 1965 chop top lowered F350. My parents saw the vehicle and the show live in 1965 and I was conceived during intermission in a similar car on the main strip at Vegas. There were about a dozen chanting onlookers. Mum claims she was caught up in all the excitement of the night.
