Found this in one of the local rags yesterday.

Babs was the opening act for Liberace in 1963.

You will pay $1,500 and up for her millennium appearance at the MGM.
I paid $1,000 per ticket a couple of years ago as my wife could "just not live without seein her."
Or was it " I could not live with my wife if she didn't get to see Babs."
It was one or the other.
