Steve Lawrence, the nightclub, television and recording star who, with his wife Eydie Gorme, kept pop standards in vogue on musical walks down memory lane for a half-century, died on March 8 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 88.

Besides playing concerts and tours with his wife, Mr. Lawrence starred in Broadway musicals, acted on television and in movies, produced TV specials, recorded scores of albums with Ms. Gorme, and more than 60 singles.

In 2004, at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island, where they had played many times, they performed at a theater in the round. “Forty years we’ve been schlepping all over the world, only to be working in a merry-go-round in Westbury,” Mr. Lawrence joked to a New York Times reporter that year.
