Eydie Gorme - My Funny Valentine

This is one of the best if not the best version of My Funny Valentine.
It took some thought to put the pictures together. Hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics:
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet youre my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But dont change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

I've been under her sweet spell ever since the 50s listening to wonderful tunes like ''Frenesi'' and ''Too Close for Comfort'' .....early chidhood 'memory markers' that take me to a very special place.

This is the ultimate version of "My Funny Valentine" The last 60 seconds of this song sends chills and goose bumps all through me. No one does it like Eydie Gorme!

Excellent pictures, along with the beautiful song!

I am a guy who was around when Eydie was at her peak and l ast weekend I had some friends round for dinner, as background music I played her Showstoppers album. My friends were all amazed at her voice, they were so enthralled that almost all of us ended up eating cold food as we stopped eating at times, to listen to her.

I discovered her late in life in my 20s (77). My dad had said he thought I would like her and Steve Lawrence and boy was he right. Loved these two right from the start and now I can listen to them along with Cleo Laine and Shirley Bassey.

@@herasmarketI am a guy aged 83, and I was lucky enough to live through the period when she andd her husband Steve were really at their peak, She had possibly the clearest and pitch perfect voice of anyone of that era. Now I am at the stage where I can entertain some of my younger friends with the old LP records I have of her and some of the other wonderful performers around at the same time. Good Luck with you future listening Naomi. Just an afterthought Naomi. Try to get to listen to one of her lesser known songs, "Guess Who I Saw Today" It is a heartrending story set to music.

I Luv this song! Eydie sang a pretty version of it. The picture gallery is wonderful also. Chaka Khan does a jazzy version of it that I also luv.

[@karlbeilstein8774]

The most wonderful pairing of voices ever, Steve and edie!!!

Nice pictures, some that you wouldn't see ordinarily. Nice rendition by Eydie, of this old 1937 Rogers and Hart song, which a LOT of singers have recorded. Few do the intro -- Ella does though. Eydie's version is lovely.

This song is lovely, especially when Eydie sings it, but you had to see her sing it with Steve Lawrence on the Johnny Carson show, they were great; the best performance Ive ever seen. The strap on her dress broke and she never missed a note. Shes a true professional.

I agree 100%, incredible.....

[@chuckturner1359]

If anyone out there has "Just A Girl with a Suitcase" could you puleeze post it. That song and her arrangement tears at me...... WOOF!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU EYDIE!!!!!

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

I found it, but she does it in Spanish with the Trio Los Panchos so couldn't get the lyrics for you. It's from the 1961 movie, "Girl with a Suitcase."

[@herasmarket]

Indeed Every day is Valentine's day!
