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.

 
There is a catchy tune recorded during an earlier day.
This recording was made by the talented Eydie Gorme.
Yes, she was the same one who was Steve Lawrence’s wife.
The song turned out to be the biggest hit of her life.
On a popular dance she wanted to put the blame.
The “Bossa Nova” was what ignited her love flame.
A handsome guy caught her eye; then she wanted to dance.
Eydie said that was what started her romance.
Just listen to the song if it is something you don’t know.
Perhaps you might be one to fall in love also.
