1h 15min | Music | 1979
The reigning King of Cafe Society performs a thrilling 25-song set, including classics from Cole Porter, Gershwin and Sondheim, with the style and verve that's been packing them in at the New York Cafe Carlyle for over 20 years. Plus, we go into Bobby's home for an exclusive and intimate look at the man behind the music. No Cover. No Minimum. Just lots of great music.

Nothing listed in the Soundtracks, but I'd believe the 25 songs in the synopsis.

I rather expected to like this. I didn't.

I don't like his voice, and his delivery doesn't add to the song.

The song choices were far from standard, even if the songwriters were the greats.

This earns one big, albeit surprised, shrug from me.
