RIP, Lady.

[fwdude]

I only remember her and Steve from The Carole Burnett Show, but that was enough to appreciate her.

[SeekAndFind]

They don’t make that kind of great and classy entertainment anymore.

In fact, other than Steve and Eydie and George and Gracie, can anybody else point to a husband and wife entertainment team nowadays? ( Jay-Z and Beyonce perhaps? <-— But I don’t see them performing together )

[Bender2]

Gadzooks! I will go to my grave... hearing Eydie singing—

I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin’ all alone lookin’ sad and shy
We began to dance, swaying’ to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)

[Instrumental organ]

Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune? )
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above ?)

[Fade]

No, no, the bossa nova

Or hear her sing it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UNJdOmQUA

May God rest her soul

She was what they used to call The real thing

[AliVeritas]

RIP Eydie.

Weren’t they on the Arthur Godfrey Show and he treated them so awful? If I remember correctly, he never recovered his popularity after that.

[commish]

RIP Eydie. One of the greats of all time.

[Lilyjuslan]

What a clear and beautiful voice. Eydie Gorme sang circles around Babs, who also sang this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FVrDyFoJbs

bossa nova’s fault

[Dick Bachert]

R.I.. Edie! Condolences to Steve. She was one of the best!!

“But What About Me?” blows me away every time.

Then there’s this classic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05pU6l4PEJw Eydie and Steve are part of this Steve Allen Show scene.

My mom graduated High School with Steve back in the day. Years later, Steve showed up with Edie for a class reunion, and mom said she was so incredibly nice to everyone, a real classy lady.

I don’t think there are that many people in Hollywood that don’t have their souls devoured by Hollywood. If Steve and Edie got my mother’s seal of approval, I know they were awesome people.

RIP. .

[N. Theknow]

Steve and Eydie were wonderful!

What an easily recognizable billing: Steve and Eydie.

ABC news once ran an item on 20/20 about the CIA intel on Idi Amin Dada and his use of a double to act as his stand-in on certain occasions.

They never uncovered the name of Amin's double, so they referred to him as "Steve."

And to the pair of them as "Steve and Idi."

[SeekAndFind]

Her SPANISH ALBUM with LOS PANCHOS was one of the best
