Steve Lawrence, Entertainer Alongside Wife Eydie Gormé, Dies at 88

Steve Lawrence, the charismatic singer who collected Grammys and Emmys alongside his wife Eydie Gormé, with whom he made up an indelible fixture of the Las Vegas nightclub scene, died at his home on Thursday. He was 88.

The cause was complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to a representative for the family.

“My Dad was an inspiration to so many people. But, to me, he was just this charming, handsome, hysterically funny guy who sang a lot,” son David Lawrence said in a statement to Variety. “Sometimes alone and sometimes with his insanely talented wife. I am so lucky to have had him as a father and so proud to be his son. My hope is that his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for many years to come.”
