Eydie Gorm é Tribute



Uploaded by: johnxxx20000
Video Description:
Here is one of my favorite singers, the great Eydie Gorm
é, 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 1931 to Sephardic Jewish immigrants) is a bilingual (English and Spanish) American
singer who, with her husband Steve Lawrence, is 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 Uni
ted 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 1950's television. Gorm
é 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 Burnet
t 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 1970's, the couple has focused strictly on the American pop repertoire, recording several albums themed around individual American pop composer
s. 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!

I just love the video that you put together to recognize the sensational Eydie Gorme. I do not know of any female singer past or present who equals her. I just love this girl from the Bronxs. I love her singing alone or with her equally talented husband, Steve. I consider him and Frank Sinatra to be the best male singers of all times. Eydie, Steve and Frank are the great interpreters of song. They all sing with great depth and feeling. Thanks again for the video...and keep posting to You Tube.

I LOVE this songbird--she was THE diva--BEFORE Streisand!! She's also a very nice woman who respects her fans. I emailed her once and she ACTUALLY sent me a return email TWO DAYS LATER. She has consistenly put out terrific music for SIX decades, with or without Steve Lawrence.The albums she recorded in the 50's sounds as fresh and alive as if they were recorded today.
