An American Treasure (3-CD Set)

An American Treasure (3-CD Set)

The late, great Eydie Gorme was indeed an American treasure, so much so that the job of anthologizing her long, legendary career looms as a formidable task for any compiler. In fact, there is only one man who is really qualified for the job: Steve Lawrence himself! The long-time husband (for 56 years!) and singing partner of Eydie has drawn upon his intimate knowledge of her catalog and reached deep into the vaults for some rarities in putting together this 3-CD set on their own GL Music label. The first disc, The Hits, presents Eydie s most famous recordings, including such gems as Blame It on the Bossa Nova, If He Walked into My Life, What Did I Have That I Don t Have and Yes. My Darling Daughter, while disc two, Steve's Favorites, offers the songs he most loved hearing Eydie sing, like Don t Go to Strangers, The Friendliest Thing, Softly As I Leave You and Hello Young Lovers. But it s disc three that is pure catnip for Eydie fans: a recently discovered, completely unreleased album session that she cut during the 60s! Steve s heartfelt, nakedly personal liner notes inside digipak packaging complete the experience. An American Treasure is a love letter from Steve to his dear, departed wife, and a beautiful summation of a one-of-a-kind career and artist. (Note: all of GL s proceeds will go to benefit The Lawrence Foundation).
