The wonderful cabaret singer Bobby Short, who sang 6 nights a week, 8 months a year for 35 years at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, has died at age 80 of leukemia. Another New York City icon gone ....

Bobby Short - unlike no other in his field.

A Master. I only saw him once, in the beginning of his run.

Like the Coasters said in Shoppin' for Clothes, "Some cats got it and some cats ain't."

Some cat named Bobby Short "got" it.
