STEVE MARCH-TORMÉ is the son of legendary singer-songwriter Mel Tormé and the stepson of well-known actor/comedian Hal March, is a talented entertainer in his own right.  Since the late 1970s, he has been a successful singer, entertainer, recording artist, TV & radio host and has toured extensively worldwide to an ever-growing fan base. 
He’s adept at performing in a variety of musical genres, both live and in the studio, including jazz, pop, big band and with symphony orchestras.  He performed on occasion with his father, Mel, and sometimes performs tribute shows dedicated to Mel’s music.

Steve has written a brand new, original Christmas song entitled I Remember Christmastime.  It’s a beautiful, nostalgic, sentimental salute to fond remembrances of the Christmas season.

Steve’s new Christmas song is released 76 years after Mel Torme co-wrote the iconic The Christmas Song (commonly subtitled as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), which became a huge holiday hit for Nat King Cole in 1946 and again in 1961.  The original 1946 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1974.  The song is the most performed Christmas song ever.

Please welcome singer, songwriter, musician, actor, radio host and the son of the legendary MEL TORME …STEVE MARCH-TORME to Interviewing the Legends …
