It may sometimes appear as if we're rather arbitrary here at Stirred, Straight Up with a Twist in our professed devotion to various hunks, starlets and songbirds of a bygone era, but trust us on this one: Eydie Gorme is on our short list of All Time Favorites. Today is her birthday (August 16, 1931), and we wish her all the happiness and pleasure she's given us over the years.
We just got all sentimental and gooey...blame it on the bossa nova!
oh, I've been thinking of her for the past year!
ReplyDeleteI heard a snippet of her on a radio show about Mexican music in the 60s....and had to seek it out.
On a (not) totally unrelated note, that bouffant! It deserves its own birthday celebration for all the happiness it's given too...where ever it is.
You're so right about the bouffant!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Eydie (and Steve, for that matter) is that they manage to be simultaneously incredibly show-bizzy and totally unpretentious.
