Thanks for the post. I like Spanish ballads and hope I’ll get a chance to listen to some of these.

I remember seeing the couple at “The Theater In The Round” in Houston in the late 70s.

Steve sang a very slow ballad then Edie did a very jazzy “It Had To Be You”!

After Edie sang Steve went on-and-on about “How come I have to sing a slow ballad and YOU get to sing a jazz number that had the whole place rockin’?’

They had the whole place ROFL with their humorous give-and-take.

What we used to call a class act.

Eydie Gorme used Spanish in one of her earliest hits, the mambo tune Mama, Teach Me to Dance (Mamá, Quiero Bailar), from 1956.

From yesterday's excellent thread ...

EYDIE GORME, EL TRIO LOS PANCHOS, BOLEROS ROMANTICOS

[dfwgator]

For us Gen-Xers, she's probably best known for "The Sinatra Group" skit on SNL:

Frank Sinatra: No, you're wrong, schoolboy. You don't need to work blue! You'll never play the big rooms with that crap. Ask Redd Foxx. You don't need the blue stuff, kid, you got talent!

Luther Campbell: But I don't have talent.

Frank Sinatra: You've got it, kid. You listen to me - you've got a Ben Vereen quality, I can't put my finger on it. Take the high road, baby!

Luther Campbell: I swear, man, I don't have any talent. None! This is all I got. [ to Billy Idol ] Tell him, man.

Billy Idol: Yeah, he sucks!

Sinead O'Connor: He's not talented.

Frank Sinatra: No, Bob Goulet - that's not talented! You got talent! You got a Dionne Warwick/Falana kind of thing going. Steve and Eydie?

Eydie Gorme: Oh, you're right, Frank.

Steve Lawrence: Absolutely. He's great!

Frank Sinatra: Of course he is, you brownnoses. Look at you, you're just swimming in my wake.

Steve and Eydie’s duets brought sweet warm feelings to me and mine whenever we listened to them. Rest in peace Eydie!

Thanks for the post S&F. My mother passed away almost 10 years ago, when I was a boy in the 60’s I remember how nuch she said she enjoyed Steve and Eydie whenever they were guests on any of a number of variety musical shows that were popular back then.

I remember thinking how beautiful she was.

Rest in peace Eydie,
