I had no idea he was living until now. I used to have some of their records.

Back in the 90s, there were a number of radio stations that featured music from the 40s and 50s. I was on the road calling on customers then, and this one was played a lot.

Written by Comedian Steve Allen, their biggest hit:

Here it is in one long take with 6 big stars:

This Could Be the Start of Something Big-Steve Allen, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Ann Sothern, Dina Shore, Frank Sinatra at NBC Studios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05pU6l4PEJw

You’re walking along the street or you’re at a party
Or else you’re alone and then you suddenly dig
You’re looking in someone’s eyes, you suddenly realize
That this could be the start of something big

Billy Idol: Don’t provoke me, old man.

Frank Sinatra: You don’t scare me. I’ve got chunks of guys like you in my stool!

Billy Idol: Alright, I’ll rip your bloody head off.

Frank Sinatra: Steve, go kick his ass.

Steve Lawrence: [ confused ] What?

Frank Sinatra: You heard me!

Eydie Gorme: Do it, Steve!

Steve Lawrence: Huh? Well.. okay.. [ stands over Billy ]

Billy Idol: You got it. [ punches Steve in the gut, knocking him to the floor ]

Frank Sinatra: Next week, the Grammy Awards. Where the hell is Vicki Carr’s album? Bye bye. [ overlooking the fight ] Keep the hands up, Steve..
