Thanks for the musical memories. RIP
I had no idea he was living until now. I used to have some of their records.
I watched them on Carol Burnett.
More Carol Burnett-related news.
They were staples of variety shows for decades.

I remember the SNL skit.
Written by Comedian Steve Allen, their biggest hit:

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
Steve Lawrence also had a short role in the 1980 movie “The Blues Brothers”.
He played Murray Sline, the booking agent for the band.
They were on Carol Burnett a lot. They were very good. They will both be missed.
