Throughout her long career she has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Grammy Award and the Emmy Award. The couple's striking union of broad ballads and breezy swing has combined with the endurance of their marriage and their comic facility to make them American institutions - even though neither of the couple, as separate performers or together, has put a single into the American Top 40 since 1963.

The song Love Me Forever by Eydie Gorme is a plea for undying love and devotion from her partner. It begins with a melodic, repetitive chorus featuring the singer's voice crooning "La, la, la" repeatedly, creating a sense of longing and yearning. The lyrics of the song express the singer's desire for her partner to commit to her forever. She asks to be loved and taken under his protection so she can feel secure in his presence. With repeated assurances, she begs her partner not to abandon her, making him promise never to leave her alone. She wants him to kiss her with intensity and to speak the titular phrase "Love me, love me forever" with sincerity, committing to a lifelong partnership.
The song's lyrics embody the essence of love, bare of any selfish thoughts, it is about how two people, madly in love with each other, want to be with each other forever. The simple and repetitive melody of the chorus reflects the urgency of the singer's feelings and the sentiment of the lyrics conveys the vulnerability and tender emotions that come with being in love.
Interestingly, this song was originally recorded by a British singer, Marion Ryan, in 1964, before being rerecorded by Eydie Gorme in the US in the same year. The song attained a great deal of popularity with both versions, charting in the top 40 on the UK and US Billboards. It became Gorme's most extensive hit in the United States. Additionally, the song has been covered by several other artists, including Connie Francis, Julio Iglesias, and Patty Duke.

Never heard this before. Somehow it eluded me although I
was an ardent radio listener during her prime. Eydie Gormet had no superiors and
few equals. She was really singing from the mountaintop on
this one! I love the all-
male choir that was arranged for the orchestration, not frequently employed
in recordings, the most glorious being the all-male choir that
Johnny Mathis suggested for his immortal recording of
"Tonight," (Sondheim/
Leonard Bernstein).
That girl!
Eydie easily makes you love her forever with her inviting, mesmerizing, enchanting, spellbinding melodic voice.
