Celebrating Eydie Gorme on her 80th birthday

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3o9FUDlJrSw/TNsVzXlptyI/AAAAAAAABLA/7FB6AblWa-Q/s640/Eydie%252BGorme%252B2811182732_0dc7f3bff4_o.jpgYeah, I know today is Madonna’s birthday.

The Material Girl has turned 53.

But I’m going to shine a spotlight on a lady who can really belt out one helluva number.

She’s the great Eydie Gorme, a Grammy and Emmy winning singer who retired in 2009 but whose talent can still be enjoyed on videos and recordings. I remember seeing her a lot on variety shows in the 70s – especially on The Carol Burnett Show – often with her husband of 54 years, Steve Lawrence.

Enjoy some music from Miss Gorme!

4 Remarks

  1. Wow! I didn’t realize she was that “old”. One of my absolute favorite songs she did is “Blame It On The Bossa Nova”. I remember loving it when it came out in 1963 (even though I was a wee lad) and still have the 45 today!

  2. That Hollywood medley was fantastic. Thanks for posting!

  3. Two very talented ladies!

  4. She was actually 83 at the time.
