Eydie Gorme was born in New York on August 16, 1928 to Sephardic Jewish
parents. Her father, Nessim Gormezano, was a Turkish-born tailor who
changed his last name when he arrived in the United States. She began
singing straight out of high school, with various big bands. But her
big break came after she auditioned for, and joined, "The
The Tonight Show (1953) Show" in 1953.
There, for $90 a week, she sang solos and sang duets with the
up-and-coming
Steve Lawrence. The
two performed on the show for five years, and married in 1957. After
their "Tonight Show" stint, the pair had a short-lived TV show of their
own,
The Steve Lawrence-Eydie Gorme Show (1958).
Then, Lawrence entered the Army leaving Gorme, a new mother, to
frequent the night club circuit on her own. Two years later, when
Lawrence was discharged, the couple came to a decision to enter show
business more professionally. Their career took off, with audiences
drawn to their penchant for the classics in favor of rock 'n' roll, as
well as their spontaneous banter.
