Sue’s Muse: NY Legendary Treasures Series Featuring Steve Ross

Photo by Stephen Sorokoff

He’s been called “The Crown Prince of Cabaret” and also “the new Bobby Short” but to those of us who know and love him…he’s Steve. He is a living legend and gives anyone watching him a Master Class from the moment he steps on stage. In this interview I wanted you to get to know him a little better as Steve and not just the incredible, talented man behind the piano. He is truly a treasure and those of us who have the honor of knowing him are better for it. Please meet the first in my series of NY Legendary Treasures…Steve Ross.

NLE’s very own reviewer and editor Marilyn Lester said, “Let’s promote him to King of Cabaret” after seeing I Remember Him Well, The Songs of Alan Jay Lerner

In the interview we discussed Steve’s radio program at Rockefeller Center. Here is the link I promised reintroducing the WNYC Cabaret Nights program.

I want to thank my co-producer and videographer Michael Lee Stever for his help on this project.
