They both had a great sense of humor. What natural chemistry. Rest in Peace Steve.

[@-Pearls]

RIP Steve. One of the great crooners of all time. He and Eydie were wonderful together.

I AM TOO, TOO SAD>>>>

[@adrienneszatkowski2471]

YES: I MISS THEM SO MUCH>>>. MAY THE LORD BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM

[@SueProv]

I remember taking my mom to see Steve and Eydie later in their career. They were great. We went around back to where the stars walked out to yhe car. Steve went right up to my Mom then went to the president of their fan club of 50 years. He knew her name and he really knew her. She was from Brooklyn. He was a class act. Eydie was in bad pain so she didn't mingle...bad back. Great show though.

[@RyanHLee-nc7hg]

Steve Lawrence had, in my view, one of the best singing voices in show business!

[@rmelin13231]

Agree! And one of the most pleasant on-screen personalities.

What a blast a very fun show. Steve and Eydie Gorme what a great couple. And of course Johnny Carson the greatest of all talk show hosts ever.!

End of an era... RIP Steve😢

They had beautiful voices. What a pair!

This is a clip back to when entertainment WAS entertainment. Thank you Steve!

[@earldriskill3505]

Exactly, no woke crap and all the other added on political garbage.

[@arlenekerr1198]

Such a talented man with a beautiful soothing voice! Rest in peace.

[@dougmilesmedia]

I had the pleasure of talking with Steve on radio several times. He was as nice as he was talented. Great guy

[@alissaballot3169]

And the interviews you did were excellent. Thanks for posting them!

[@donnablankenhorn5905]

I have heard several comments how nice he was which showed. That is so important along with how talented he was. Great there are so many videos forever.

[@robertwallerjr.]

Wow! Absolutely loved this. Thank you so much for posting. That Hallelujah song has always been a favorite of mine.

[@cjm608]

They were absolutely the Best.

[@suzannescott5343]

I saw Steve & Eydie in Vegas. Richard Pryor was their warm up act. After the show, I walked over to see the Lounge Act at Castaways. Richard Pryor was across the street with his girlfriend. I yelled hello to him & he waved back. Steve & Eydie were at their best. Great night. Love you forever Steve.

[@dwillajwall]

They were so great!!! RIP!

[@modernretroradio993]

Their son passed away before both of them. Now all three are reunited.

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

I heard for the past 20 years he'd play golf in Vegas where he'd live and sing as he played. I'd love to have been there. I saw he and Eydie probably 20 times in concert, often in Vegas. They were just wonderful. So sad he's gone, but he left so much great music.

[@StevenTorrey]

When I was a kid in the Sixties-Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gormé were a thing. Eydie Gormé passed away in 2013; Steve Lawrence passed away March 7th, 2024. RIP! What was so impressive about them was their living a real love story, two people in love with each other. In a place as cynical as Hollywood/Las Vegas, a true wonder.

[@ellengutknecht4994]

March 7, 2024

[@StevenTorrey]

@@ellengutknecht4994 You're right: March 7, 2024! I will correct it!

[@anairenemartinez165]

Only last month!

[@FredLord-sp4ym]

I saw Steve and Eydie in concert when they opened for Mr. Sinatra during his Golden Jubilee series in 1991 at the Rosemont Horizon. They were simply terrific, ageless, and always delivered on Mr. Carson's show. May Mr. Lawrence rest in peace. Thank-you for sharing.

[@Squee_Dow]

I can't tell you how much I miss this era of TV. I haven't watched network TV for a couple of decades now. Every once in a while I surf over to see if things have gotten better. Nope! It's a cesspool, and it's getting more putrid by the day.

[@debratrani8583]

He was wonderful. He was great alone and with Eydie it was a dream duo. RIP

[@waynefaber4477]

Eydie was a doll……a powerful voice.

[@tamra8485]

RIP Steve Lawrence. You and Edie were incomparable! The spontaneity of this interview at the end, the joy in each other’s humor and that beautiful flair legged suit! A great talent and a class act.

[@essessessesq]

some trivia...Steve and Eydie were cast members on the Tonight Show in 1954, when Steve Allen created the format of the show...Steve ''discovered" Steve and Eydie and featured them on his show for 3 years until NBC moved Steve Allen to prime time and Jack Paar took over the Tonight Show until 1962, when Johnny became the host

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

Steve has said many times that when he first saw her on that very first show ,he liked her very much. Then, when he first heard her 🎉singing, he immediately fell in love with her!❤

[@DK-et6lm]

So thankful we have these clips to relive the past. Thanks for sharing this.

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

oh yeah man. when you had to be able to actually SING to go anywhere. one of the last of the crooners from the golden area of entertainers really. thanks again as always.

[@TheJoerutland]

Yeah baby!! Good times. Bless you Steve. Go see your gal. ❤

[@firefighterJP]

Nobody can be so impromptu like Johnny! One of a kind!

[@mikekenney1947]

I met Steve Lawrence at the crap tables at the Sands in 1968. My wife was a music major and something of a fan Eydie’s stylings. When I told him that he was genuinely impressed that we would come up from LA just to see them. He graciously arranged for my wife to get a chance to meet Eydie. It was a highlight for us and I got the impression they were thrilled to accommodate us. Truly nice folks

[@MalEvansUSA]

They both were alcoholics and were along with Sammy Davis into the occult. Edyie was a drunk

[@vincentrimmer5844]

Great memory! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@gradywilson9213]

This is the reason they play beer pong in today's talk shows. There isn't anyone like this anymore.

[@anairenemartinez165]

Now we get the witches in the View

[@gradywilson9213]

@@anairenemartinez165 I believe everything changed with the Jerry Springer show. It was that show that brought vulgar behavior to our homes, and eventually made it acceptable. Since television copy one another, other like shows appeared. After so many decades we have become numb to that crass, tasteless conduct that essentially anything goes.

[@karenharris722]

I'm glad the Carol Burnett show had him on so many times. He was so funny. I laughed every time he said "sure, sure!' May he R.I.P.

Hallelujah for Steve & Eydie

[@vanio91]

These two have contributed enormously to the world of entertainment. Steve and Eydie reunited again, because the show can't stop.

[@Eupher72120]

Steve and Eydie were a pair without compare. Beyond their talent, this - in 1976 and beyond, up till about when the Kimmels and Stewarts and Colberts started spreading their filth -- was the era to watch in the wee hours. Back when men wore suits or sport coats and slacks. Back when women wore dresses and more modest clothing. Back when discussion was witty, relevant, and classy. I stopped watching late night talk shows 30 years ago, even when Tom Snyder was on. Why? Complete crap, that's why. Keep politics out of entertainment, and the idiots might get a clue.

[@brianbrino4310]

Excellent musicians and what a lovely couple! Simply amazing!❤❤

[@Okaydo1]

Random fact: Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy was born on the day this was taped.

[@alissaballot3169]

Except the actual show date is May 25, 1979. The Academy Awards song “Not Even Nominated” by Steve and Sammy Davis, Jr. was the 1979 show, and “Halleluyah” won the Eurovision contest in 1979.

[@pattishinn5198]

[@stormin9308]

This did NOT air in 1976. At 17:31, you see ME in the audience and that was when I worked at NBC between 1979-1982. Again, that date is wrong. "Hallelujah" (Hebrew: הללויה) was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in Hebrew by Milk and Honey, including Gali Atari, for Israel.[1] History The song was originally submitted by the composer Kobi Oshrat for the national Israeli selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, but was rejected as “the selection committee did not think ‘Hallelujah’ was strong enough.“ It was also rejected by song festivals in Chile and Japan. It was, however, accepted for the national Israeli selection for the 1979 contest, where it was intended to be performed by the band Hakol Over Habibi.

[@ellengutknecht4994]

You are right. May 25, 1979
