Steve Lawrence, the charismatic Grammy- and Emmy-winning crooner who delighted audiences for decades in nightclubs, on concert stages and in film and television appearances, died Thursday. He was 88.
Lawrence died in Los Angeles of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, publicist Susan DuBow announced. He partnered with the late Eydie Gormé, his wife of 55 years, in a very popular act.

I was just the other day listening to a Steve and Eydie mix on my echo. Just wonderful voices.

Eydie Gormé died in 2013.
One of the sales associates at the assisted living residence where we had my father for awhile was their nephew.
Me: Your surname is Lawrence. Not related to Steve Lawrence, are you?
Sales Associate: He's my uncle.

His biggest hit was the now considered creepy "Go Away, Little Girl, Before I Beg You To Stay."
