HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, STEVE AND EYDIE!!

Steve and Eydie
On this date in 1957, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme were married. They became popular singers on the The Tonight Show with Steve Allen, and as Las Vegas showroom regulars and recording artists. They are still together in one of Hollywood’s most enduring marriages.

I have loved Eydie since my old friend (and cousin) Lewis Holt introduced me to her recordings in the 50's. Both she and Steve are class acts, fine musicians who attracted the greatest arrangers and orchestraters to their team. Below is their signature tune, written by Steve Allen. Give it a listen for lots of fun and memories!
