Steve March-Tormé (born January 29, 1953) is an American singer and songwriter. He is the son of the singer Mel Tormé and actress Candy Toxton. They later divorced and Toxton married actor/comedian Hal March who became Steve's stepfather.
Apart from his father, March-Tormé's early musical influences include The Four Seasons, Nat King Cole, The Temptations, Ricky Nelson, and Gene Pitney. Later influences include Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, and especially The Beatles.
Steve Tormé was born on January 29, 1953 in New York City to Mel Tormé and the former model, Candy Toxton. His parents divorced in 1956. He has a half-sister, Daisy, an actress/singer, and a half-brother, James, a singer through Mel Tormé's marriage to British actress Janette Scott. In 1956, Toxton married actor/comedian Hal March, who was the host of The $64,000 Question game show, and subsequently starred in Neil Simon's Come Blow Your Horn on Broadway. Hal March became stepfather to Steve and Melissa who adapted their surname to Tormé-March; Hal March went on to have three more children with Toxton — Peter, Jeffrey, and Victoria.
Steve March-Tormé spent much of his childhood listening to New York Yankees games on the radio. After games he would turn to Top 40 music stations and find himself singing along with such artists as The Four Seasons, Nat King Cole, The Temptations, Ricky Nelson, Gene Pitney, and The Beatles. This accidental discovery for music led to March-Tormé fronting his first band in 1966 at age 13.
