Steve Lawrence career
In 1953, Lawrence, along with Eydie Gormé and Andy Williams, was hired by Steve Allen, then eighteen, to perform on his late-night show on WNBC-TV in New York City.
Lawrence, Gormé, and Williams continued to host the show after it was taken up by NBC and aired nationally as The Tonight Show until its cancellation in 1957.
Lawrence was enlisted into the U.S. Army in the late 1950s and was assigned to the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own” in Washington, D.C. as the official vocal soloist.
With successes like “Go Away Little Girl” (U.S. No. 1), “Pretty Blue Eyes” (U.S. No. 9), “Footsteps” (U.S. No. 7), “Portrait of My Love” (U.S. No. 9), and “Party Doll” (U.S. No. 5), Lawrence enjoyed success on the record charts in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
“Go Away Little Girl” became a Gold record after selling more than a million copies. But nightclubs and the musical stage constituted a large portion of Lawrence’s musical career.
In addition, Lawrence was an actor who has made guest appearances on television in every decade since the 1950s. He began his career with Steve Allen’s late-night show and went on to appear in CSI, Police Story, The Judy Garland Show, The Julie Andrews Hour, Night Gallery, The Flip Wilson Show, and The Danny Kaye Show.
The Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé Show, an NBC summer replacement series in 1958, starred Lawrence and Gormé. Between 1967 and 1978, he frequently appeared on The Carol Burnett Show, both with and without Eydie.
One of the final variety shows on CBS to run exclusively in black and white was The Steve Lawrence Show, which starred Charles Nelson Reilly in supporting roles and aired for 13 weeks in 1965. In addition, Lawrence participated in panels on What’s My Line? (1950–67).
Lawrence was featured in the Broadway production of What Makes Sammy Run? in 1964. The main character was a driven young man who aspired to become a Hollywood star. It was shown at the 54th Street Theater for 504 performances.
From February 1968 to January 1969, Lawrence and Gormé starred together in the Broadway production of Golden Rainbow.
The play featured the iconic song “I’ve Gotta Be Me,” despite its lackluster reception (a synopsis of this experience is described in unflattering detail in William Goldman’s 1968 book The Season).
Lawrence initially performed this song near the conclusion of the musical’s first act. Later, Sammy Davis, Jr. recorded a rendition of the song, which peaked at number 11 on the 1969 U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles list.
In the 1972 movie Stand Up and Be Counted, Lawrence played Gary McBride and featured with Stella Stevens and Jacqueline Bisset.
His depiction as Maury Sline in The Blues Brothers in 1980 brought him to the attention of a new generation of admirers, and he returned to the character in the 1998 follow-up Blues Brothers 2000. Among Lawrence’s previous motion pictures are the criminal thriller The Yards (2000) and the Steve Martin comedy The Lonely Guy (1984).
Comedian Don Rickles and presenter Lawrence co-hosted ABC’s Foul-Ups, Bleeps & Blunders in 1984. In the 1985 motion picture adaption of Alice in Wonderland directed by Irwin Allen, Lawrence and Gormé portrayed Tweedledee (Gormé) and Tweedledum (Lawrence).
In two Hardcastle and McCormick episodes, Lawrence portrayed Sonny Daye, the father of Mark McCormick. He had multiple appearances on The Nanny. In season 2, episode 14, he appeared as himself. In a couple of the show’s last episodes, he played the much-discussed but rarely seen Morty Fine, Fran Fine’s father.
He played Betty White’s rich love interest Jack in the television series Hot in Cleveland in 2011. In 2014, he recorded the theme song for the parody miniseries The Spoils of Babylon and made a cameo appearance in a CBS episode of Two and a Half Men.
