Liberace - Gershwin Medley (1985)
In his Gershwin medley, Liberace paid sparkling homage to one of America’s greatest songwriting duos, cloaking classic tunes like “Embraceable You” and “Rhapsody in Blue” in his signature blend of technical virtuosity and Las Vegas flair.

Dressed like a chandelier in human form (as was tradition), he delivered each phrase with campy charm and cinematic sweep.

It wasn’t just music—it was pageantry. Every trill, every flourish, every coy glance at the camera said: “Yes, darling, Gershwin wrote it, but I’m giving it sequins.” And honestly? Gershwin would’ve applauded right along with the crowd.
