Why It Took 20 Years To Make A TV Special About Steve and Eydie!

PBS stations are presenting Steve and Eydie: Memories of My Mom and Dad, hosted by their son, David Lawrence and produced by TJ Lubinsky.

This is TJ's 76th My Music Presents production and he has spent the past 20 years attempting to create a show that celebrates the joy and the genius of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme!

TJ tells us what took so long, and why the universe sometimes requires us to wait.

Its been six months since Steve has passed away. I wish David would release new videos of his Mom and Dad. The Steve Lawrence Show comes to mind. Steve and Eydie were loved by many fans. I know there is a facebook page honoring them and I think David joined it.

I love the DVD from David Lawrence. Sadly Steve has passed away. I hope in the future David and TJ will release more of David's amazing parents work. The Steve Lawrence Show would be great to see. Especially the last show with Steve and Eydie. I saw bits of it in the DVD. The love your parents showed all these years was incredible. There are a lot of fans out here.

I have loved these two for almost 50 years! I just now saw a picture of David. He looks so very much like his beautiful mother!🧐🤔🤗

OMG!!!! I recently found their son and asked where I might find "Tonight I'll Say A Prayer"/ "Wild One" on CD. I have not heard back. I STILL have my 45, which was given to my mom, from my Bobie, and then I inherited it, because, mom was too busy with the babies, and I was collecting mom's music, as well as my own at the time, and.... learning that I loved to sing. I used to try to emulate Eydie, and sing with conviction, even though...I was much too young to completely grasp the detriment of the lyric. But ...alas...I caught on...not too far down the road. The heartbreak of romance....I would soon learn...in time. I can't wait to watch this video. Is there more???

I was at work when my sweetheart texted me that Steve had died and I just lost it. I don't know why but I felt like I lost a friend.

I think you are talking about Judy Tannen. She also accused David of taking advantage of his dad dementia. It was just opposite he brought his dad to CA so he could be helped closer to him. He has been a wonderful son to mom and dad.

It is more than a Jewish story. It is an American story. They belonged to the whole nation.

The only problem was a the very beginning when Steve's son said he sang "I got you under my skin" better than anyone one else. I would say Frank Sinatra and Frankie Valli are the best to record that song!!!
