Eydie Gormé

Here is one of the greatest singers, the fabulous Eydie Gormé, a true legend of Las Vegas, a friend of all the great singers (Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Sammy Davis Jr., Sarah Vaughan, Shirley Bassey...) and a great exciting voice!
Eydie Gormé (born Edith Gormezano in 1928 to Sephardic Jewish immigrants - died in 2013) was a bilingual (English and Spanish) American singer who, with her husband Steve Lawrence, was credited heavily with helping to keep the classic American pop repertoire alive and well. She graduated from William Howard Taft high school in 1946 (legendary film director Stanley Kubrick attended the school at the same time), and worked for the United Nations as a translator, using her fluency in the Spanish language. She also hired out as a singer, working in the big bands of former Glenn Miller singer Tex Beneke as well as the lesser-known Tommy Tucker, before going on her own in 1952. She caught both her big break and her life partner when she and singer Steve Lawrence were booked to the original The Tonight Show, then hosted by Steve Allen. Steve & Eydie (as they are usually referenced) became two of the only legitimate music stars to break out from 1950s television. Gormé enjoyed a few hit singles on her own. Still, she won a Grammy Award for best female vocal performance in 1967, for her version of If he walked into my life, from the stage musical Mame. Like her husband, Gormé has appeared on numerous television shows over the years, including The Carol Burnett Show and The nanny. In 1960, Gormé and Lawrence were awarded the Grammy Award for best performance by a vocal group for their song We got us. Since the 1970s, the couple has focused strictly on the American pop repertoire, recording several albums themed around individual American pop composers. As the 21st century arrived, the normally indefatigable couple announced their plans to cut back on their touring, launching a One more for the road tour in 2002.
Enjoy Eydie Gormé's immense voice!

My favorite things

And here are several other examples of the fabulous style of Eydie Gormé:

Johnny one note

If he walked into my life

How could I be so wrong

What did I have that I don’t have now

As long as he needs me

What I did for love

When the world was young (Ah, the apple tree)

The man I love

Memory

Tonight I’ll say a prayer
