  1. Mr. Lawrence is an iconic singer, song-writer, and entertainer whose live in concert performances are sorely missed. He is a Legend in his own Lifetime, and I wish him blessing, health, and much happiness.

  2. My most cherished memory was seeing them perform with Frank Sinatra in Melbourne Australia in 1991. it takes a lot to equal the great Sinatra but their contribution to a marvelous evenings entertainment was on a par with the great man. The medley they performed with Sinatra at the end of the show was highlighted by continual extremely difficult entries that were simply breathtaking. Thank goodness ABC TV Australia recorded the last half of the evening and preserved it for eternity. just a shame the first half Lawrence /Gorme wasn’t captured
