Talented guy. Besides his singing career, he was always fantastic on the Carol Burnett Show. His Columbo skit was terrific.

I think of Steve Lawrence from the classic SNL "The Sinatra Group" skit.

Frank Sinatra: No, Bob Goulet – that’s not talented! You got talent! You got a Dionne Warwick/Falana kind of thing going. Steve and Eydie?

Eydie Gorme: Oh, you’re right, Frank.

Steve Lawrence: Absolutely. He’s great!

Frank Sinatra: Of course he is, you brownnoses. Look at you, you’re just swimming in my wake.

My Dad was treated for his Old Timers with a antipyscotic drug.

Made a big difference.

We were told that at some point it could/would turn off and all hell could break loose.

He passed of something else before that reality came to fruitation.

In the early weeks of 1957, it seems that everybody and his uncle recorded "The Banana Boat Song." Steve's version was made with Dick Jacobs & His Orchestra & Chorus, who had scored a few months earlier with The Man With the Golden Arm.

Classy...reminds me of Reagan’s acknowledgement of his situation. God be with you, Steve.

Steve Lawrence wasn’t a teen icon or even primarily a recording artist, spending most of his career on stage or performing live in nightclubs. But he did very well: “Go Away Little Girl” (U.S. #1), “Pretty Blue Eyes” (U.S. #9), “Footsteps” (U.S. #7), “Portrait of My Love” (U.S. #9), and “Party Doll” (U.S. #5). “Go Away, Little Girl” sold over 1 million copies and was awarded a Gold record.

Peace be with him.

BS, medicines slowing it down. Nothing pharmaceutical works, and probably very little else. I’m sorry he’s been cursed with it. Hope they can keep his mood adjusted. And that his road is not long. Moms had it 9 years.
