Liberace was a head of his time! Elton John copied Liberace’s flamboyant style.
....Liberace was ahead of his time...
Actually, the Liberace style of flamboyancy was originated in the 1940s by Gorgeous George, the wrestler, with dyed blond hair, mincing antics, a valet and those wonderful gold plated Georgie hair pins he tossed to the crowd. The gayness was an act though. George was straight as an arrow.
