    I saw Steve and Eydie open for Frank at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1991. They were pretty entertaining as I recall, not up there with Liza Minelli when she opened for Frank in 1989, but they knew how to work a crowd.

    Top 5? Hell, it's my favorite SNL sketch of all time! Having Sting play Billy Idol was a stroke of genius.

    My parents and my uncle (who stayed friends with him) went to high school with him. That's really all I have.

    I used to hear about him a lot when I was a kid, and I think I met him when I was in teens, but "Steve and Edie" weren't high on my playlist at that time in my life.

    RIP

    My aunt and mom grew up a couple of blocks from him although my aunt (who is a year or so younger) went to a different HS. There was a certain neighborhood pride, although his music seemed from a completely different time.

    Is this 1995?
    I thought he had passed right after his cameo in Casno….
