Concert and recording superstar Eydie Gormé, who – performing everything from ballads to bossa nova with singing partner and husband Steve Lawrence – made an indelible impression on American audiences during the swingin' '60s, died Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas, her spokesman, Howard Bragman, tells PEOPLE. She was 84.
"Legendary singer and performer Eydie Gorme passed away peacefully today at Sunrise Hospital following a brief illness," Bragman said in a statement. "She was surrounded by her husband, son and other loved ones at the time of her death."

Gosh, I remember Edie and her husband, Steve Lawrence. They were on Ed Sullivan and just about every other variety show in the 50s and 60s. Nice looking, talented couple. Married 55 years. That’s unusual in Hollywood.
Rest in peace.

Eydie not Edie. I can’t spell.

RIP Eydie Gourme. I love them. We saw them in Vegas at the Stardust right before it was torn down. I really wanted the real Vegas experience and Steve and Eydie provided it big time.
I am truly sad to learn of her death.
