Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Liberace Protégé, Steve Garey, Part 2.
Today’s returning guest, Steve Garey, is a renowned, 2-time gold record winning pianist, vocalist and recording artist who has a very prestigious connection to 2 show business legends: Liberace and Frank Sinatra.
He was selected by Liberace to be his very last protégé, and he is the only protégé of Liberace’s to receive the endorsement and support of the Board of Directors of The Liberace Foundation and the Liberace Estate.
And the other superstar with which our guest shares an illustrious history is the Chairman of the Board, the one and only Frank Sinatra, who chose our guest, when he was only 20 years old, to be his piano accompanist. Steve Garey began his career in the 1970s as a child prodigy, performing concerts throughout the world, which led to a successful career in nightclubs as well as in films and on television. And in 1981, Mr. Showmanship himself, Liberace selected our guest as his last and final protégé.
He studied with Liberace for the last six years of his life. Steve Garey has performed at the most prestigious venues around the world, and besides performing with Liberace and Frank Sinatra, he’s worked alongside dozens of superstars including Rosemary Clooney, Dinah Shore, Bernadette Peters, Johnny Mathis, Debbie Reynolds, Jane Russell, John Travolta and many more.
With his incredibly versatile repertoire, which includes everything from the Jazz Classics, Pop and Country Music to the great American Songbook, our guest has given Command Performances for 5 American Presidents in addition to a number of Crown Monarchs in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He’s been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine, the Hollywood Reporter, and on the cover of both TV GUIDE and the American music industry publication “The Score” magazine”.
He’s also a Contributing Editor to Keyboard World Magazine, and he continues to serve as a consultant on books and film projects regarding both Liberace and Frank Sinatra.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
