New Top 40 charts announced in...

(C)(P) 2002 GL Music Co., Las Vegas, NV
Tracks 13 and 14 are bonus tracks (Eydie Gormé added a note, "Since this album was first released, I have added two additional songs that I recorded with 'Luis Bonfa', the fabulous Brazilian composer/musician.",--GL Music Co. is Eydie Gormé's and Steve Lawrence's independent label.)

Eydie is blaming the seductive "dance of love" for a whirlwind courtship that started out with "just one little dance, but then it ended up a big romance."

  • After she graduated from high school, Eydie worked as a Spanish interpreter by day, attended night classes at City College in New York City, and sang from time to time for a local band. She became a solo singer in 1952 after singing for Tommy Tucker's and Tex Beneke's big bands. In 1953, she became a regular performer on Steve Allen's Tonight Show, where she met her husband-to-be, singer Steve Lawrence. They married December 29, 1957, the week her hit "Love Me Forever" reached the Top 40.

  • In 1958, Steve and Eydie had their own summer replacement TV show: Steve Allen Presents The Steve Lawrence-Eydie Gorme Show. Eydie had another Top 40 hit that year with "You Need Hands."

  • After Lawrence was drafted in the fall of 1958 and Jack Paar replaced Steve Allen as host of The Tonight Show, Eydie stepped out of the spotlight for almost two years (Lawrence was not so "hidden" during his army days - he had the #9 hit "Pretty Blue Eyes" and #7 "Footsteps" released by ABC-Paramount as he was the official vocalist of the United States Army Band). After Lawrence left the army in 1960, he and Eydie became a popular nightclub act. Eventually the two of them signed with Columbia Records.

  • Eydie finally reached the Top 10 in 1963 with this. It was her last Top 40 solo hit.

  • This was the first single Eydie Gorme released on Columbia Records. For both Steve and Eydie, their first Columbia singles were their biggest hits... and their last Top 10 records. Before the end of 1962, Steve hit #1 with "Go Away Little Girl," a Gerry Goffin/Carole King song that Donny Osmond would take to #1 again a decade later.

  • Steve and Eydie finally scored on the charts as a duo with "I Want to Stay Here" and "I Can't Stop Talking About You," but only after Lawrence's last Top 40 Hits (in 1963), "Don't Be Afraid, Little Darlin'," "Poor Little Rich Girl," and "Walking Proud." Although the British Invasion cost them success in the recording industry, Steve and Eydie have remained a popular nightclub act for four decades.

  • In 1979, Steve and Eydie recorded as Parker and Penny. >>

  • Annette Funicello covered this for her 1964 album Annette At Bikini Beach. Her version was featured on season 2 of The West Wing when Ainsley (Emily Procter) is caught dancing to it in her bathrobe.

  • Sean Hayes sang this on the 1998 Will & Grace episode "A New Lease On Life."

  • This was used in several movies, including The Big Picture (1989), starring Kevin Bacon, Mermaids (1990), starring Cher, and Doubt (2008), starring Meryl Streep.

  • This is referenced in the 1993 film adaptation of Stephen King's Needful Things, where the villain brushes off his evil doings by saying, "Hey, don't blame it on me. Blame it on the bossa nova."

    Who sang the bossa nova?

    Eydie Gorme, a television and nightclub star who scored a huge hit in 1963 with the song “Blame it on the Bossa Nova,” died on Saturday at the age of 84.

    Where does the bossa nova come from?

    Bossa nova, which literally means “new wave,” was a blending of samba and jazz that rose out of a guitar school formed in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana neighborhood in 1956.
