Eydie Gormé discography: History and Key Facts

This is the discography of American singer Eydie Gormé. It contains 35 studio albums, multiple compilation albums, 52 singles and other charted songs. Her debut single was 1953's "I Danced with My Darling". It was followed by her single "Frenesí", which marked her first chart appearance, at number 44. "Fini" in 1954 reached the pop top-20. She would continue to have multiple top-40 singles throughout the 1950s.

Her record label ABC-Paramount issued several albums during this time. Two of them were especially noteworthy; Eydie Gorme Vamps the Roaring 20's reached the US pop top-20, and Eydie in Love was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Female. Afterwards, her success dried up and she only scored one hit with "Yes, My Darling Daughter", which had become her biggest single in the UK. In 1963, "Blame It on the Bossa Nova" marked her return to the charts, reaching the top-10 on US pop charts, and top-20 on the R&B survey. An album followed, doing well on the charts as well. In 1966, she earned a Grammy Award for her performance of "If He Walked Into My Life" from the musical Mame. The single release had become her biggest success on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, climbing to the top-5.

Her next releases saw modest chart action, with "Life Is But a Moment (Canta Ragazzina)" also nearly breaking into the main pop charts. In 1969, she signed with RCA Victor Records and got her final big hit with "Tonight I'll Say a Prayer". The song almost cracked the pop top-40 and reached number 8 on the Easy Listening chart as well. She would consistently make the Easy Listening chart in the 1970s. Notably, "Take One Step" also made an appearance on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. Since then, several compilations of her recordings and hits have been made.
