History
Steve Lawrence (born Sidney Liebowitz, July 8, 1935, Brooklyn, New York; died March 7, 2024) was an American singer, actor, and entertainer working in big band, swing, and traditional pop. He signed with King Records at 16 after winning a talent contest on Arthur Godfrey's CBS show, then built his career through Steve Allen's "Tonight!" show. His early-1960s hits for Columbia Records included the chart-topping, gold-selling "Go Away Little Girl," plus "Footsteps," "Party Doll," and "Portrait of My Love." He is best remembered as half of "Steve and Eydie" with his wife, singer Eydie Gorme, whom he married in 1957; their duet album "We Got Us" won the 1960 Grammy for Best Performance by a Vocal Group. Lawrence also starred on Broadway in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (1964), winning a Drama Critics Circle Award and a Tony nomination. Decades later, a new generation knew him as Maury Sline, the club manager in "The Blues Brothers" (1980) and its 1998 sequel.
