Steve Tyrell Sings the 'Great American Songbook' at The Sheldon May 15
As a record producer, Steve Tyrell has worked with Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick, introduced the world to B.J. Thomas and helped Rod Stewart earn a Grammy award.
But it’s in his “other” job as a singer that Tyrell has earned accolades from the likes of former first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton, the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and thousands of fans who have fallen in love with--or to--his music.
“My songs, like ‘The Way You Look Tonight,’ have been sung at so many weddings it’s ridiculous,” Tyrell said by phone from his home in Sherman Oaks, CA. “Bill Clinton and Chelsea and Hillary came to see me at the Carlyle (Club, in New York City) in December, right before Christmas Eve, on the 23rd. President Clinton saw me, and came running over and said, ‘I’ve been playing your Christmas album all day. I got the whole family jacked up.’”
In the course of their conversation, Clinton said he had danced to Tyrell’s “The Way You Look Tonight” at Chelsea’s wedding.
“I told President Clinton, and Hillary and Chelsea, that song has taken me to more weddings than you can ever imagine,” he said.
Tyrell, who covers the Great American Songbook of standards and has done tribute albums to Bacharach, Frank Sinatra and Disney music, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 15 at The Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis. Chris Peimann, director of marketing and publicity at the concert hall, is thrilled to have Tyrell back after a performance there last year.
“Steve Tyrell is the ultimate showman,” she said. “He really harkens back to the old school crooners like Tony Bennett and Mel Torme and really transports you back to a different era. Not only is he a great singer, he is also a really nice guy, and that comes out in his performances. People really feel a connection to him and vice versa.”
Tyrell said his performance will include new songs from last year, including some from his latest album I’ll Take Romance and contemporary American music, which he said includes the music of Motown, Paul Simon, James Taylor and Elton John.
“The biggest difference--and I’m not knocking them in any way, shape or form--‘Fire and Rain’ is as good as it gets. But you don’t want to hear anybody else sing them. That’s the difference,” he said. “I mean, I couldn’t make an album of James Taylor songs, you know? Nobody would want to hear it. Even The Beatles, you don’t want to hear somebody singing The Beatles’ songs. But there’s been a million versions of Cole Porter songs. Then hundreds of versions, thousands of versions, of the Gershwin songs, or Harold Arlen. And they’ve been done in every genre you can think of. And you can love 25 versions of the same song.
