Liberace - Misty

Today would have been Liberace's ninetieth birthday. He was, to say the least, a complex human being who did his best to hide that complexity from the public whose attention he craved. And the fact that he was a gay man in the closet was only part of it. He loved the spotlight more than he loved his own talent, and paid a certain price for it.

I love the description the person who posted this on YouTube used: "A Horrible Interpretation of Errol Garner's Misty Played by Liberace." This performance is way, way too much all the way around, but that's what Liberace wanted to show the world.
