• Track Listing

2024 release. Add up the years that Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme spent actively recording and between them you end up at a figure over 110. So how do you boil all that down to a single CD? Well, at Real Gone Music, we know that sometimes you just gotta have the hits. So, that's what we've done with this 20-track CD; packed it to the gills with their hit-making highlights both solo and together. The result: the single most concentrated dose of Steve and Eydie hit power ever assembled into a single collection! One thing will become very, very certain as you listen to The Original Hits: no matter what the genre, be it pop, Latin, rock and roll or The Great American Songbook, this dynamic duo-who, by the way, were recently the subject of a wonderful TV special from TJ Lubinsky's My Music series on Public Television -display their vocal mastery. Includes such gems as Steve's "Party Doll," "Go Away, Little Girl," "Footsteps," and "Portrait of My Love," Eydie's "You Need Hands," "Sabor A Mi," "Blame It on the Bossa Nova," and "Tonight I'll Say a Prayer," and their duets "I Want to Stay Here," "I Can't Stop Talking About You," and "We Can Make It Together" with The Osmonds. Assembled, like our other Steve and Eydie releases, with the assistance of their son David Lawrence, The Original Hits features rare photos and liner notes by Billboard writer Paul Grein. Consider this the tasty appetizer before the multi-course meal we are preparing to serve from the Steve and Eydie catalog in the months to come!
