Their stuff was fun, just as their personalities were. The kind of stuff that was on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" frequently - which I never missed. I just saw an amazing photo - Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme with Johnny Carson and his then-wife Joanne. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Nor many marriages like that, either - in OR out of show biz. They brought people a lot of friendly pleasantness and good entertainment. God just gained a great soloist.
