His career spanned over more: than 70 years. Many albums including: Mabel Mercer at Town Hall 1969 With Mercer Second Town Hall Concert 1995 Songs of New York Live at the Cafe Carlyle Nominated for Grammy: 1993 Late Night at the Cafe Carlyle 2000 You're the Top: Love Songs of Cole Porter Films including: 1986 Hannah and Her Sisters 1979 Roots: the Next Generations Bobby Short, celebrated cabaret singer and icon, dies of leukemia at 80 NEW YORK (AP) Compared with today's standards for singing success multiplatinum albums, world-famous songs and A-list endorsement deals Bobby Short's seven- as his main stage for more than 35 years. But Short, who died Monday at 80 of leukemia, became a worldwide singing icon thanks to his buttery-smooth vocals and classic performing style that relied more on his considerable grace and panache than over-the-top vocal gymnastics or showstoppers. "My audience expects a certain amount of sophistication when they are coming to hear me," he once said. Calling Short "an American treasure," Cafe Carlyle, the nightclub at the Carlyle Hotel where Short was an institution since 1968, said it would close Monday in homage to the musician who helped make it famous.

Over the years, Short withstood constant changes in popular music tastes, from Sinatra to Springsteen to Snoop Dogg, drawing in old fans and making new ones with his repertoire of Broadway, Tin Pan Alley and jazz tunes by Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, the Gershwins, Billy Strayhorn, Harold Arlen. Despite his age, Short who died at New York Presbyterian Hospital was far from retiring, said Virginia Wicks, a Los Angeles based publicist. He was set to open the Carlyle's 50th anniversary season on May 3, and perform again in the fall. But he wanted to make it his last year so he could travel and perform around the world, she said. "The drill of five nights a week for 12 weeks at a time is something that no longer appeals to me.

It's too much," he told The Associated Press last decade career might not seem so spectacular. As a cabaret performer, he didn't have any chart hits. He was best known for performing the work of other greats. And just one club the tony Short Cafe Carlyle served year. With his classic songs and suave presence, he entertained thousands over the years at the Carlyle.

In 2003, he celebrated his 35th anniversary there, as familiar a New York landmark as the Empire State Building or Central Park. His fans inevitably included the rich and famous: Norman Mailer and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the '70s, Barbara Walters and Dominick Dunne in the new millennium. Short hobnobbed with the upper crust, most notably with designer Gloria Vanderbilt. He was one of only a handful of blacks to make it onto the elite Social Register. "I think it's an expression of democracy at work.

I don't come from a high society background. I'm not even a college graduate," he told the AP in 2000. Former first lady Nancy Reagan fondly remembered Short, saying: "I'll never forget the last time I saw him, when he joined some friends and me for dinner recently in Los Angeles. He sang just for us, and that evening will remain a cherished memory. As an ambassador of vintage songs, Short played the White House for presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Clinton.

"I go back to what I heard Marian Anderson say once: 'First a song has to be beautiful," Short told The New York Times in 2002. "However, 'beautiful' covers a wide range of things. I have to admire a song's structure and what it's about. But I also have to determine how I can transfer my affection for a song to an audience; I have to decide whether I can put it across." He was nominated for a Grammy in 2000 for "You're the Top: Love Songs of Cole Porter." In 1993, he was nominated for "Late Night at the Cafe Carlyle." He appeared in the movie "Hannah and Her Sisters," the TV miniseries "Roots" and the series "In The Heat of the You're not alone if you feel quality and workmanship are vital in a family memorial. label Our Customers agree and so will you.
