Remembering Eydie Gorme

The Takeaway

Eydie Gorme died on Saturday at the age of 84 surrounded by her family in Las Vegas, the city where she and her husband Steve Lawrence performed so often and where they got married in 1957. She was famous as a crossover Latin American singer from the Tropicana days of the 1950’s. 
John Hockenberry has this remembrance.
