FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1988
Steve Lawrence
and Eydie Gorme share a
Grammy Award for their
album, "We've Got Us," and
Gorme won a second Grammy
for her solo recording of "If
He Walked Into My Life!'
Lawrence earned the New
York Drama Critics Award
and a Ibny nomination for his
Broadway debut as the star of
What Makes Sammy Run.
The couple subsequently
shared the Broadway stage in
the musical comedy-drama,
Golden Rainbow.
A special dream held by all
native-born New York musi-
cians was realized by the
Lawrences when they starred
in a series of standing-room-
only concerts at Carnegie
Hall and then encored with a
second sellout series later at
the distinguished musical
citadel.
The Lawrences continue to
light up stages all over the
world, including their very
first concert tour of Japan.
Lawrence' again points with
pride to his wife's ac-
complishments when he said,
"Eydie received one of
Japan's most coveted music
awards for her recording of
the Antonio Carlos Jobim
song, The Gift! " The award,
the equivalent of a Grammy,
he says is even more amazing
when you consider the fact
that Eydie Gorme recorded
the hit some 27 years ago.
Lawrence said he and his
wife were thrilled to discover
that Japanese audiences were
hungry for American music,
especially "all our older
material, things we haven't
done in years. They were ask-
ing me to do songs I recorded
25 years ago!"
During their stay the cou-
ple also did a television varie-
ty show, and "that was a
tremendous experience for
both of us," he notes, especial-
ly since United States televi-
sion variety shows have most-
ly died out. He said he can't
quite put his finger on the
definite reason why this has
happened, but felt that "over
the years a lot of talk shows
have sprung up all over the
place to replace the type of
variety shows we all grew up
with!'
That's a particular shame
since Lawrence was a fre-
quent guest on many of the
highly rated and very funny
variety shows of old, giving
audiences a chance to see his
comedic side. "I used to love
doing the old shows," he
volunteered. "Matter of fact,
an interesting thing has hap-
pened to me over the years.
When the Carol Burnett
Show was syndicated and
shown all over the country, a
lot of young people who came
marriage.

In their act, the Lawrences sing and do a little comedy.
to my concerts didn't even
know I could sing. They ex-
pected me to do comedy. That
part of it has been a real eye-
opener!'
Lawrence said he believes
his and Gorme's comedy
talent stems mainly from
their five-year association
with Steve Allen. "We were
called upon on that show to
not only sing, but we were
thrown into sketches every
night," he explained. "In ad-
dition, we learned comedy
from some of the masters.
Steve had a constant parade
of the great comedians and
"I think Eydie and I
have a great love
and a great
respect for each
other. And I think a
sense of humor."
performers in the world on his
show so it was a wonderful
training ground.And it was a
privilege just to be able to
hang around with Steve, who
I think is extraordinarily
brilliant in a, lot of different
ways. He was probably the
best teacher I ever had!'
Having recently passed
their third decade mark
together, does Lawrence have
a secret for marital bliss?
"A relationship either
works or it doesn't," he
responded quickly. "I think
Eydie and I have a great love
and a great respect for each
other. And I think a sense of
humor comes in there
somewhere. I think that's
very important in a relation-
ship. It's hard to say exactly
why any relationship works.
I'm just happy that ours
does."
But isn't it difficult to work,
travel and live with one's
spouse 24-hours a day? Isn't
there such a thing as too
much togetherness?
"Not in our case!" he said.
"It really works for us to be
together all the time,
although in view of the fact
that we do spend so much
time together, we do give each
other a lot of room!'
The couple spends half the
year on the road traveling,
and that, added Lawrence,
has been the worst part Of be-
ing in show business. "In ad-
dition to getting used to time
differences and so on, all that
traveling is physically deman-
ding: the packing, getting to
the airports and then moving
as many people as we do. Fif-
teen people travel in our
show, between musicians and
stage crew and lighting and
sound and wardrobe. I often
wish I could just close my eyes
and be there. But we haven't
gotten that far yet!'
And the best part?
"The fact that you are
allowed to work in a business
that you love so much. I think
that's the biggest reward. 1
When you're happy at your
I
work and you're fairly suc-
cessful, I think there's
nothing better in the whole
•
world!"
Ten years from now,
Lawrence said he and his wife
and musically-gifted partner
hope to be "fortunate enough
to be in good health and still
have an audience out there
that enjoys our work. That's
why there are people like
George Burns, who, at 92, is
still out there performing. So-
meone once asked him why
he didn't retire, and he said,
`Retire to what?' I think
that's so true. When you
retire, I think it's time to lay
down. I think people have to
have something to do,
someplace to go. And if you're
lucky enough to be doing
what you love best, can there
be any greater reward?" ❑
