"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" by Steve & Eydie

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Eydie Gorme today.  Steve and Eydie have the distinction of being the first LP record my family owned.  It was included with the new Westinghouse record player my Grandfather bought.  This song is one of my favorites from that album.

Unfortunately, I could not find their version by itself on YouTube, but I did find this one with 3 different versions of the song and I find I enjoyed all three.

I also found this great version of the song by the Benny Goodman Quartet (Sextet?) on a 78 RPM record.
