His piano and singing repertoire mixed classical standbys and sentimental hits of the day, but Liberace was a Vegas superstar for more complex reasons. One of three television specials released on video by Rhino Video, Liberace's Valentine's Day Special features the showman who embodied Las Vegas glitter and flamboyant excess. Called a "kitsch virtuoso," pianist Liberace was born Wladziu Valentino Liberace, and he was the darling of Vegas-vacationing mothers for decades, with a stage presence that was the prototype of what would become the glam rock star. In this program he arrives at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas via a hot-air balloon. He jumps on-stage in one of his patented over-the-top glitzy suits and plays several songs on the piano. He then takes the audience on a tour of the Liberace Museum, where he explains, "I collect pianos, cars, dogs, and talented people that I use in my shows." He also gives a tour of his private home, finally arriving at a small yacht christened the Queen Mary, where Sandy Duncan and Lola Falana join him. Steve Blackburn, Rovi
