Eydie Gorme

She was born in the Bronx with the name Edith Gormezano. Her career got off the ground on Steve Allen's "Tonight Show". As a singer, Eydie performed well as a solo. With her husband Steve Lawrence, they became a great duo. Many hit records and awards would soon follow. On stage in Las Vegas, this duet was a sensation. They also appeared in numerous specials on television. Anyone in show business was familiar with Eydie Gorme. Sadly in 2013, this talented performer passed away. I thank wikipedia.org for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

Yes, and I missed her. She and her husbands were almost regulars on the Carol Burnett show. She was quite young when she left us. Sadly missed.

Young? She was just shy of her 85th birthday when she passed.
