16 Most Requested Songs

Performer: Liberace
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: 16 Most Requested Songs is a mid-priced collection that spotlights many of Liberace's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Begin the Beguine," "Stella by Starlight," "Stardust," "Indian Love Call," "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Chopsticks." Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it's still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Legendary pianist/showman Liberace was born Wladziu Liberace in Wisconsin in 1919. He was a child prodigy, winning a scholarship at age seven and making his solo concert debut four years later. When he returned from performing in an armed forces band during WWII, however, he decided to leave a promising classical career behind in pursuit of pop stardom. By the early 1950s, he was a successful recording artist. As Liberace began utilizing everything from cocktail jazz and Tin Pan Alley standards to rococo easy-listening versions of classical themes, his showmanship expanded, encompassing outrageous costumes and elaborate stage designs. Even after his records stopped selling, he remained a huge concert attraction for decades.
