The Recording Academy Statement Re: Eydie Gorme

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Two-time GRAMMY winner Eydie Gorme was a remarkable pop vocalist who for decades entertained fans as a nightclub performer, recording artist and television personality. Whether performing solo or with her longtime husband Steve Lawrence, Gorme captivated audiences with her smooth, playful voice, memorable songs and vivacious charm. As a bilingual artist, she had success within both the English- and Spanish-language markets with hits such as "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" and "Amor," making her a true crossover star. We mourn her loss along with her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her, and we celebrate the legacy she has left behind."
