Kudos to Eydie, not only for the usual stellar rendition of the song, but for including the verse portion which, to my recollection, nobody else did. She had such a great voice.
When she released "Bossa Nova" I hated it - thought she couldn't carry a tune in a paper bag. As she aged, her voice matured well. I've a friend who adored her, went to see her and (husband) Steve at every opportunity. The tragedy of her their son's death truly did a number on her, though. Anyway, buddy, NY's Eve will be quiet around here. Staying in, away from the craziness. If you go out, have a fabulous time - but be safe, my friend. Thank you for always taking the time to stop by and comment on my blog; I love ya for it. Happy New Year, Mistress! May it be happy, healthy, and may you always have plenty of everything you need and wish for.
MYOB, eydie! ;-)

ReplyDeleteI say you can't go wrong with songs by Eydie or Joanne Worley at a party.
DeleteWay before my time, but my favorite singer ever! And I am finding the new generation is wanting quality again.
