R.I.P., Bobby Short

A legend has passed on. I can’t believe it. I wonder if future generations will create artists and musicians like Bobby Short – people committed to glorying in the music of days gone by, keeping the torch lit. Michael Feinstein is another one. Rest in peace, Mr. Short, and thanks for your lifelong commitment to the great American songbook. Great indeed!

    The first time I went to NYC to meet my husband’s family, he took me to the Carlyle to see Bobby Short as a surprise. It was absolutely magical. I’ve never felt quite so glamorous. Thank you, Bobby Short, for a truly delicious memory.

    so sad….i never saw him live..what an original and classy guy…i have one disc of his..i love it..i just ordered another on-line. Lesson? Do it now. If a legend comes to town ..go!! Have u seen Blossom Dearie??? go, go, go! She’s amazing and not getting any younger!

    oh, so sad. He did seem like, as another commenter said, a classy guy.

    I think that’s something lacking in a lot of the modern “celebrity” – class.

    RIP, Mr. Short. If there’s any cosmic justice, you’re sitting down at a huge, beautiful, always-in-perfect-tone grand piano, surrounded by the likes of Berlin and Gershwin and Porter.

    thats a lovely thought….Bobby Short and the Gershwins, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter sipping sherry and out quipping each other…ahhh..heaven!
