That Black & White Baby Of Mine - Bobby Short (live)

Cole Porter's "That Black & White Baby Of Mine" performed by Bobby Short at The State Theater in New Brunswick, NJ in February 1995. I recorded the audio myself from my seat. It was the first, and only time I'd seen Mr. Short perform and it was fantastic.

Thank you for sharing this. Wonderful! There's nothing like having seen Bobby Short at the Cafe Carlyle in New York. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance until 2003, and by that time his voice was gone. A remarkable experience, nonetheless.

Me gramps went to school with Bobby. He wrote about my family in his amazing book, "Black and White Baby."
