"The lyric is my Bible," Bobby Short once said, describing the aesthetic stance to which he developed through a seven-decade career as a professional entertainer. Short spent consequential time during his last four decades as resident singer-pianist at the Café Carlyle on the Upper East Side, where his "gravelly baritone and perfect diction" demonstrated the triumph of character over beauty.
