Eydie Gorme, a pop vocalist who entertained nightclub audiences and TV viewers as a solo artist and with her husband, Steve Lawrence, died Saturday. She was 84. Gorme died at a Las Vegas hospital of an undisclosed illness, said her publicist, Howard Bragman.

Her first album with Lawrence, "We Got Us," won a Grammy Award in 1960.

He is carrying a Dewar's on the rocks, cradled close to his body, looking to the sky and saying, "Here's to our greatest ally, Scotland." She holds a Ketel One vodka and water elegantly at arm's length. He wears a tuxedo as comfortably as a robe and pajamas.
