Bobby Short (15 September 1924 – 21 March 2005) was a much-recorded and beloved cabaret singer.
The Life that Late We Led
The impish charm of Bobby Short
Was known from records and report,
And folks forgot their cares a while
When he performed at the Carlyle.
Sophisticated elegance
Has faded to irrelevance,
And with it, stylings of the sort
We used to hear from Bobby Short.
