Bobby Short's Chart


Bobby Short
American musician, as much a symbol of Manhattan as the Empire State Building, who epitomized the glamorous New York of the 'art deco' 1930s. For more than 25 years he had been bringing audiences cheek to chic with "Cole and Noel" at New York's Cafe Carlyle. He called himself a saloon singer, but did two shows a night in some of New York's most elegant lounges and performed at the White House in 1970. With a trademark gravelly voice, he sang witty and incisive lyrics with flawless elocution and phrase. He appeared in a few films and made a couple TV appearances.
He was the ninth of ten kids in a poor but musical black family. As a child prodigy, he taught himself to play and sing entirely by ear. By the age of 11 he was performing at weddings, conventions, roadhouses and on the vaudeville circuit. While a youth, he also met many of music's greatest and acquired knowledge of art, classical music, architecture and opera.
Although Short never publicly declared that he was gay, it was well known among his friends, fellow musicians, and even among some of his fans.
On 21 March 2005 the incomparable cabaret singer and jazz pianist died of leukemia at New York Presbyterian Hospital. An AP report called him a “fixture” at his piano in the elegant Carlyle Hotel in New York, where he had entertained his audience for more than 35 years. Bobby Short was 80 years old.

As a Manifestor, you’re among only 10% of the global population. Manifestors are the most independent, go-getting of the Types. You don’t wait for other people to give you the green light, or to weigh your options, or wait for a better time—you just make it happen. Why not? You know what to do better than anyone else does, right? That’s why you embrace change, and new accomplishments.
Pros of being a Manifestor
You can charge through any obstacles to reach your goal, ascend to the top. Lazy? Not you! You don’t know the meaning of idleness.
You embody purpose, responsibility, confidence. And you can go it alone to reach that goal.
Cons of being a Manifestor
You have a hard time understanding why other people can’t be as independent as you in their own achievements. Because of this, you can be impatient and short-tempered. For you, after all, everything comes easy.
You also can’t stand it when you’re facing constraints. You need absolute freedom to do what you want, when you want, and everybody else better stay out of the way. Unfortunately for you, social constraints keep you in check.
