Peggy Lee -thank God for her- has made some kind of miracle in my life. I've started listening to her about 8 months ago, and now I just can't stop doing it, for when I listen to her I don't feel lonely. Even in the most cheerful songs, she always performed in such an intimate way that makes you feel that she's singing just for you. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm now obsessed and can't stop purchasing anything she ever recorded. I want it all! She was the best! I love her. She's my friend.
I was 9 years old in 1969 when I got my first album Peggy Lee was my pick . I was a different kind of child
Peggy took this melodious tune and put in EIGHT DRUMS and for my money it is even hotter than 'Fever'.
Hi poetcomic1,
Not only could she sing up a storm, but was a fine composer! How many people in the music industry have sued Disney, and won! She was a genius. Thanks so much for your message!

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS LOVESONG---FINALLY FOND IT!!!!!!!!1
I forgot to note that the arrangement was entirely her idea, transcribed by Gordon Jenkins. Before this, "Lover" had always been a quiet waltz. Peggy was multi-talented.
John Fugazzi I read that in a biography of Peggy. Genius!
Yes, so much talent indeed. Such a captivating rendition perfect for her and the piece, we are taken out on the speedway in a Cadillac convertible!
Exactly. She was so much more than a singer. She had that musical genius.
Yes, the underlying fast mambo here is amazing.
@@adamlehr8820 OMG- YES!!! And FLOOR that accelerator in a ‘55 Cadillac!!!
Brilliant, simply brilliant ! Back when when was awesome !
She's so exotic/erotic here! You're right on the money about enthralling! So glad you liked this performance. Maybe somewhere in the world there are still night-clubs like this; possibly New York's Rainbow Room? Anyway, this rendition with some of the jazzy orchestrations makes me really dizzy. Thanks for writing!
Peggy's LOVER -- "It's supposed to be a waltz" Richard Rodgers told her
. Notwithstanding the composer's opinion about the need to take this slowly in three-quarter time . . . Peggy's incredibly sexy take remains the all-time best, silver screen version of LOVER (one of Dick Rodgers loveliest waltzes; he wrote by my calculation 16 of the 20 best waltzes of the previous century). Musical genius that she was, Peggy did it HER way which she later recalled made Richard Rodgers sniff, when they first met, "It's supposed to be a waltz, you know."
As someone kindly informed us in a comment below, Peggy actually arranged this too. She sat down with one of Sinatra's and Nat Cole's favorite arrangers Gordon Jenkins and he transcribed her ideas into the orchestration that met with her approval. Another aspect of her musical genius.
'The King of Twang' early rock guitar, Lee Hazelwood's buddy, Duane Eddy, took a cue from Peggy's whirlwind tempo to include LOVER on one of his albums: played faster than any other song he recorded (with repeated hammer-ons on the descending melody). I've never been able to find Duane Eddy's instrumental version -- my favorite song that he recorded and the ONLY Great American Songbook classic he ever performed. But here's Peggy's retire-the-trophy version!
Thanks so much varadero1839 for sharing this treasure with us.
man i love her. She was just incredible. Her smile lights up not just the room in the scene. But also the room i'm watching in.
OMG! My head is spinning. I LOVE this woman! I just read a great biography of her called "Fever - the Life and Music of Miss Peggy Lee" byPeter Richmond - highly recommended. An amazing story about an amazing woman.
what a great version, very exciting indeed.
goosebumps... her timing is amazing
Many thanks UnderTheBamboooTree! She was the empress of music, lyrics, style and timing! Grateful to hear from you!
You're absolutely right! She was a beauty, both physically and artistically. Peggy was a singer, composer, arranger and God knows what else! She brought "beauty" to all of us! Thanks again for writing!
I heard this first on a "Longines Symphonette" collection and was so blown away it took a week to scrape me off the wall. I was just a kid. This a lot hotter than a lot of this stuff that we have nowadays.
Peggy hadda FIGHT to get her record company to RELEASE this SURREAL arrangement. Luckily she WON! However, I notice in this film they ADDED a "final" note to the bizarre OPEN ending on said record.
One of the greatest moments in cinema history and a terrific rendition of this great song by a wonderful lady and singer!!!!!
There aren't many performers of this caliber anymore. Just the inflection and movement conveys so much. I love Ms. Lee.....
I think we're in the same boat kind friend Kasbahkabaret! Ms. Lee seemed to be in a class all by herself! She seemed to have everything going in her favor. How many ladies from her time could be known as a lyricist, composer, actress, singer, and so on? I forgot to mention beautiful. One more thing; how many ladies from that era took "Disney" to court and won? Peggy is/was amazing. Grateful to hear from you kind Kasbahkabaret! I wish you only the best!
varadero
varadero1839 Thank you, for your kind and encouraging comments.
Miss Lee was brilliant. She will always be my #1 female singer and that spans a lot of years. No one has or will ever touch her performances. I miss her so.
Robert H Hi Robert H,
I miss her too. No more mysterious, sensual and so well educated singer ever existed. She could do it all; actress, composer, lyricist and much more. Thanks so much for your message!
Best wishes,
varadero
@@varadero1839 agree 100%
She has always been my no. 1, as well. I like Helen Forrest a lot, too!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Eugene Javion Instablaster =)
With few exceptions, I've never seen a better showcase for a singer than the "night-club" scene shown here! Kudos to both the director, and art director! We'll never know what was the idea behind this set. Obviously it was supposedly a club in Manhattan, but which one? I'm happy to know that you finally were able to see this, and wish the video quality had been better. I'm still elated by your comments!
what an ecstatic performance! peggy lee is one of a kind ♥ you know, i think this particular rendition of "lover!" could have inspired fiona apple's "hot knife" :)
Me Too! The closest I ever came to a night-club like that was "The Rainbow Room" atop 30 Rockefeller Center, about 40 years ago! Was only there 1 time; was 2x at "The Rainbow Grill," not quite so grand. Happy to hear from you, and yes, what I saw was amazing! Know I saw Astrud Gilberto at "The Grill," but can't recall what I witnessed at "The Room!" Guess it's time to retire! That last remark wasn't an invitation!
My birthday parties are at the Rainbow Room every five years.
oh how i love these old songs…it was all so beautiful..
Oh, I love the driving bongo beat in this Peggy Lee version. From the 2nd film version of The Jazz Singer, with Danny Thomas.
One of the Blonde Goddesses.
Whoever the fools are who gave this a thumbs down need to have their hearing checked because they are literally tone deaf. Peggy's pitch, tone and modulation are a revelation. A brilliant musical genius at her absolute pinnacle!
Hello marco biondi,
I posted this, and I'm honored that you'd come to Peggy's defense! Obviously, you're right in your assesment. Ms. Lee was indeed a kind of perfect performer. Do you think that this stems from her ability not only as a composer, but as a lyricist? After all, she took Disney to court and they paid off big time! I really love her! Also, I'm honored to hear from you Mr. biondi! You really know your music! Thanks so much for writing!
varadero1839 You are quite welcome and to answer your question; I believe her genius came from an amalgamation of both a composer and a lyricist but above those two she was just born with the gift. Some are. Some are not. From every musician I have ever spoken to concerning her talent they all agree that the woman had an ear that could pick up a single lagged pulse of a metronome in the center of Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Thank you first for your service !!! & then for your right on the money statement!!!
+Olly4Ever Hey Marco! You changed your S/N! I was just looking up Peggy Lee videos and went right by your comments until I saw someone use your real name. Where you been? Could not agree with more on Peggy and this version. Total genius!
Bi-Costal Teacher Hi Matt! Changed it ages ago. You finally realized it?
Peggy Lee is The Bomb! Love her!
Gotta agree with you! Her sensuality in this production is palpable! As this was a remake of one of the 1st "talkies,, i.e.
"The Jazz Singer," she was obliged to pay more attention to Danny Thomas, the lead! Given her beauty, talent and voice, I've wondered why he didn't seem to be more enamored of her than he appeared. I've my suspicions. Hey, it was Hollywood back in the day; Go figure? Thank you once again for your knowledgeable comment!
repeat of a comment made after "Stay with me" .Peggy with Andy Williams.I was commenting generally of the fist time I seen the "Jazz singer" around 1954 . I was about 15-16 years of age I was saying of the impact "Lover" had on me. and I just wanted to thank youtube and the contributor [your self] for letting me experience once more, for the first time since 1954 , the great sight of Peggy and "Lover" I have the audio in all formats but not the visual , until now. Thanks V.
cooking! Peggy tearing the place apart...scorching hot!
Peggy knew how to work any fine piece of music! Rumor has it that composer Richard Rodgers despised Peg's rendition at first. Then, I can only suspect, that royalty checks among other aspect, may have changed his mind! Peggy ruled here!
varadero
She was easy to love! I remember seeing her on TV, black and white, when I was just a kid. The fascination never left me! Thanks so much for writing!
I love the movie, mess that it is. Handling the Jewish element in the story at the time proved to be difficult. The worst being the Jewish synagogue looking like a Catholic church. Everyone in the film is trying his or her best but is trying to climb a steep mountain. As for Peg, yes, she wanted to record "Lover" for Capitol but Les Paul and Mary Ford had enjoyed a hit with song on Capitol and so Capitol balked. So, with her contract with Capitol running out, Peg went to Decca. She did fabulous work there, including "Lover" and her landmark album "Black Coffee." Later she returned to Capitol because she wanted to work with the arrangers Nelson Riddle, Billy May and of course Gordon Jenkins. At Capitol, get this, Frank Sinatra produced her first album, "The Man I Love," an absolute masterpiece. The Decca "Lover" actually was her second try. In the first session she was unhappy with several elements and asked to try again later. She had an incredible ear for detail. She could be moody and temperamental but on the other hand she really was a good person. When Chris Connor followed Peg into Basin Street East in New York she was on one hand thrilled to be following her singing idol and on the other hand wondering if she had the right stuff. On opening night in comes Peg to Chris' dressing room, introduces herself and says, "Chris I think we need some champagne." They sipped champagne and talked like old friends. And as Chris looked out over the audience there was Frank Sinatra. When there was a tribute to Chris years later I was asked to write the program notes and was so so honored. I asked the producer if she saw them before they were printed and he said, "Yes she did, and she told me 'I doesn't get better than this, I guess." I was so thrilled. I did get to meet her when she was appearing in Chicago and I said, "Is it true you are difficult and don't like fans" And she laughed and said, "Me? I'm just a Missouri girl from Kansas City." She was an absolutely down to earth darling and she autographed her first 10-inch L.P. for me. We also found we had Columbia, Missouri, in common; I went to college there she performed with a local band there. I've been associated with singers since 1955 when I formed a Joni James Fan Club (I am still President of it) and have met just about anyone you could think of and have yet to meet even one stinker but have met many very lovely people.
Who knows? Maybe it's a recreation of CIROS club! Much as Ms. Lee rules this particular number, the set itself is almost too beautiful to be real. Ah, for the days when folks dressed-up to go to a real "night-club!" Great to hear from you, and big thanks!
I loved this version at the time IMHO it was a very sexy and suggestive song and still holds that appeal today.
Danny Thomas used to frequent CIROS nightclub in Hollywood and I saw him in the audience when Peggy Lee performed there in the early 1960's. The stage background was very similar to the one in this video although I suspect that it was recorded on a Hollywood set for the movie. Peggy has always been one of my favorites. The wonderful original arrangement was done by Peggy Lee herself and the recording orchestration was done by th magnificent Gordon Jenkins.
Fantastic!
Thanks so much! I posted this and, notwithstanding a couple of snide remarks, I think it's one of Peggy's best clips! I love the set! It's like the best New York night club ever, with the raised platform, band, etc. Glad you enjoyed!
varadero
WOW Indeed! Wasn't Ms. Lee wonderful? I'm so happy to hear your comment! Know this little clip won't compare with even 1 or 2 of her other triumphs, but I'm happy to be the one that uploaded it! I'm sincerely grateful to hear from you!
This is a fabulous rendition of a fabulous song. The irony is that ,apparently, Richard Rogers, who wrote the melody to Lorenz Hart's lyrics, hated this rendition.
Dear god, I want to be transported back in time to meet this woman
Pure genius!!!!
Many thanks! Ms. Lee was indeed a genius in every sense. Best wishes.
varadero
She is absolutely unbelievably talented
A true goddess
Oh my 😍
Wonderful! I love discovering these ancient tapes of the popular old-time singers, while they still had a jazz-mind, before being "moulded" into more "saleable" singers! Thanks so much for this.:)
Thanks so much for this message! Ms. Lee is kind of a legend. I don't think there is anyone in the music industry who didn't respect, revere and love her! She was a fine singer, actress, and a phenomenal composer! Again, I'm so grateful to hear from you!
Timeless.
I suspect only your one word comment really cuts to the chase! Ms. Lee: performer, singer, beauty and star! I'm so honored to hear from you! Thanks so much for that word, which encompasses all that Ms. Lee brought to us! There'll never be another like her!
Best wishes,
varadero
Hi Mary! I'm happy to hear from you, and agree with your assessment of "amazing!" That was Ms. Lee in a nutshell! From writing, composing, singing music, there's little she could not do. I'm so pleased to hear from you, and grateful that you noticed, and commented on her myriad talents!
A perfect performance.
Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm elated that you have enjoyed this so much. Ms. Lee was amazing here! She had it all; beauty, sex-appeal and one hell of an interesting voice! Thanks again!
Love love love it !!!!!
Thanks for sharing the video. Can't stop watching it. Think i'm gonna have to go and buy the film x
SHE WAS THE BEST!!!!!!
❤️
So good. Amazing.
A bit kitschy , but great fun and Peggy is having fun here and being sexy at the same time. The heavy Latin percussion is a touch over the top IMHO. Pure Exotica!
I wish the kitschy would take over the world. It would be a kitschy coup.
@@akrenwinkle Well done!
LOVE IT!
Thanks Steven Gorrell!
Composer, and Waltz King Richard Rodgers would not initially have agreed with you! Have you ever seen "Love Me Tonight," from 1932? It starred Jeanette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier. Lovely Jeanette sings this in waltz-time, while riding in a horse-drawn carriage. It's beautiful in her rendition, but also very hot as Ms. Lee changed the tempo in the remake of the 1952 version of "The Jazz Singer." Ultimately I think that Mr. Rodgers grudgingly succummed to the charms of Ms. Lee. It's a great song!
Can't find the Jeanette version, but here's a beauty by Marion Marlowe, on The Arthur Godfrey Hour...1953!

I gotta plead the 5th on Dusty Springfield; I don't know much about her. Will look here on YT! As for being sick in the head, think we're both members of said club. Will see you at the next meeting. Best to you, and thanks for writing!
From the movie "The Jazz Singer "with Danny Thomas in 1953 . She also sings, Just One of Those Things,This Is A Very Special Day, I Hear The Music Now and What Are New Yorkers
Made Of. If you like watching her singing this is the movie to get.
To really appreciate her singing this song, you have to hear the recording which l remember well as a kid...
Of course 'Fever' was the big one for her but Lover has as always been my favorite...
Thank You! I too liked 'Fever," also but don't think it compared with 'Lover!' I see/hear Ms. Lee at her most brilliant, turning a lovely waltz into something incredibly her own. Apparently the Waltz King, Richard Rodgers, was not thrilled with her rendition of his original song, but I suspect he dropped his objections after seeing this. Wish you were still with us, Ms. Lee. She was one ballsy broad; she sued Disney and won!
Great to hear from you Ron Lawray!
varadero
Thanks so much snaaptaker! Leave it to me to neglect the finer points! Sorry about that, but thank you for having remedied the situation! Best wishes, varadero
Wow---what movie is this? She re-recorded "Lover" for this film because this is not the original released version, which is absolutely brilliant. This version is faster ad somehow Peggy Lee hangs onto the downbeat, which is often so hard to hear in this amalgam of Latin rhythms. Great stuff either way
+NEW MASSES MEDIA RELATIONS
Hi NEW MASSES! This is from the 1952 remake of "The Jazz Singer." Ms. Lee excelled in this song and the film in general. Danny Thomas played the wayward Cantor, the original played by Al Jolson back in 28-29. Anyway, she’s delightful here, and pardon some of the visual “artifacts.” I was working with some weird software at the time that messed up many of my uploads. Grateful to hear from you, and many thanks!
Best regards,
varadero
she was awesome, so talented, so sexy
You're right! She had all 3 attributes you mentioned, and more! She was foxy and a great composer and lyricist! She was one tough lady! She took Disney to court and won! That, in itself, is enough of a miracle. Loved her a lot, and grateful to hear you feel the same way! Best regards.
totally agree!!
varadero1839 Didn't know that! Makes me respect her even more.
Judy Lane was the name of the role Peggy Lee played in the movie, BUB!!!
Guessing we think alike! It's really easy to love these old songs. It's even easier when they're sung by the likes of the amazing Peggy Lee! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!
Great! From the remake of the film "The Jazz Singer", with Danny Thomas.
I especially love her jazz performances. My family has a swing jazz band and I perform her wonderful version of Alright Okay You Win. I plan on adding as many of her great tunes as I can. I hope to do her justice! Though, I certainly don't aspire that I come close to having what she had....
Thanks so much! I think my library card is encouraging the moth population! Seriously, I'm glad to hear from you!
I love her so much
Guess I'm on the pillory again! I'm sorry for my really late response. I'm thrilled to hear from you, and hope you'll forgive me! I Love, love, lover it too! She was amazing, and this year marks just how much: 50 years ago! I don't know what "venue" they copied in this film, but it reminds me of 30 Rock's "Rainbow Room!" Guess we'll never know, but thanks so much for writing!
Just amazing...that's all I can say...
The thumbs dowbn are the same ones who thumbs down anything before 2010
Despite his depiction in "Words and Music", I do believe that he wasn't always the easiest of people to get along with.
Here I am, 82 years old, digging up a recording that I first heard when I was a little over 10 years of age. Because I never forgot it. It was and is very exciting. I don't think I connected the word "exciting" to a recording until Stevie Wonder did "Superstition". And I listened to a lot of Rock over the years.
As a side note, it's no surprise that those jerks at Disney tried to stiff Peggy, considering the jam they have gotten themselves into lately.
@youyong28 You're so right! As the "Waltz King," he despised this version as being too jazzy. He was still remembering lovely Jeanette Macdonald in "Love Me Tonight," with Maurice Chevalier. I'm grateful to hear from you!
CLASS !
Grateful that you like Ms. Lee! She was an incredible performer, composer and lyricist. Thank you so much for your comment!
Hi varadero1839. Can you tell me from which part of the movie this scene is from? Is it from the beginning?
Fe Lila Hi Fe Lila,
I wish I could tell you exactly, but haven't seen this for a long time. Given that in the film Danny was a returning Korean War veteran to start, he can't have been suspected of having known such a foxy singer as Ms. Lee too early in the movie! I'll keep looking, and for anyone else who may have read/seen this: please lend a hand!
Many thanks,
varadero
she's so darn hot
+varadero1839 you are so lucky you saw her live!
+Foo Hoe Vincent Low You better believe it! SMOKING HOT! And she just stood there and sang! Incredible.
+ElderPinkerton unbelievable. so surreal it must be.
and a beautiful woman
This is the song that Capitol wouldn't let her do because they said it wouldn't sell. Her contract came up for renewal and she split for Decca who did let her do it and it sold a million and got a gold record. She then made Black Coffee for Decca but eventually went back to Capitol.
What I have read before, Capitol wouldn't let her record it because it was already recorded at Capital by Les Paul and Mary Ford. That;s why she went to Decca.
Yes, it was recorded by them and that was one of the reasons Capitol wouldn't let Peggy record it, though they also thought her arrangement was too far out. To Peggy, who had such a different arrangement, Les Paul & Mary Ford's earlier recording was just an excuse.
Peggy's arrangement was definetly not too far out. Peggy's arrangement on many songs made them her own. For instance: Is That All There Is? No one else could have pulled that one off like Peggy. Classic
Gotta say Hi! Your suggestions and observations are amazing! This clip is so very old, and I'm even older! Still, love your counseling to the people that might enjoy this! Rumor has it that Richard Rodgers, the lyricist, wanted to kill himself or Peggy after hearing "this" rendition! Ms. Lee, a composer, lyricist in her own right, thought otherwise. End of the day, I've read that Rodgers gave the thumbs up to her amazing performance. Thanks so much for writing!
Rodgers was the MUSICAL composer. Hammerstein was the lyricist in their partnership. This was one of at least 16 waltzes he wrote. She adapted it DIFFERENTLY.
@iampeniel Ms. Lee always knew how to "put over" a song! Thanks so much for your comment!
speechless
WOW
Hi Mark Dalton! I literally just found your message and I feel like a total putz! Please forgive me. I don't suspect there's any reason for my not having responded earlier. I was in the hospital briefly, but that was only for a few days. I'm very sorry, and hope you'll understand. Anyway, I'm grateful to you for having suggested the book "Fever," I'll be online looking for it tomorrow! Once more, please accept my apology and my offer of friendship. Best Wishes!
hot damn!
+Ali Levy Indeed! This lady seemed to be from another world when she performed this. The composer wanted to kill himself or her when he 1st heard this rendition. It was, however, a perfect fit for the times! Thanks so much Ali Levy!
varadero
I'm so ashamed! This is from "The Jazz Singer." It's from 1952. Even now in the process of updating the information. I'm hoping your message was as much a query, as a compliment? Either way, best wishes and thanks for your comment!
I'd never seen this, but I have the record. Gordon Jenkins backed her, but it wasn't his arrangement - it was Ms Lee's!
Her record company rejected it, but Peggy insisted and it was a big hit. But I notice that here, the film company CHICKENED OUT, concerning the ending. That last chord was ADDED. The original record ENDS "in mid air" - it blew me away when I first heard it!
Everyone knows what a great performer she was, but many are unaware of her skills in composition and arrangement...
For some reason I'm not getting answers to comments so please accept my apologies for not answering. I finally checked my inbox on RUclips and there it was. Longines was a company that did collections of songs--Over the Rainbow was on the collection we had, and this one. I was about 13, and hadn't heard anything but country music, Beatles, Top Forty bubblegum and Methodist hymns. RAOFLOL. My parents wouldn't let me listen to rock. Later, when I heard rock, I was SO not impressed.
while you're at it V , look out for Peggy's autobiography entitled" Miss Peggy Lee an autobiography" first published in 1990 by Bloomsbury P/L and 1991 Pan paper back. If you haven't read it already I had to re-read my old copy after viewing your clip.Her style of writing is so similar to her way of talking. So let's breakout the booze...... and......have.....a...ball
all of my future in you...
Oh how I envy you...I was born into the wrong time....sigh.
This had to be the most erotically - charged version of a song in film of the 20th Century
do you have the movie? BTW she awsome!
HI! Wish I did, but I don't anymore. I moved a couple of years back and a whole bunch of videos/dvds went missing. Best I can suggest is to keep looking for it on wonderful TCM! They're bound to have it again! Best to you,
varadero
I don't have TCM as a singular Tv channel....It's Cartoon Network an only at midnight they switch on TCM....so I can die...:)). Thank you anyway :)
Is there a way to get the sheet music or has anyone attempted to transcribe
Not my cup of tea but class class act peggy
I'm in the middle of a "brain-fog!" I can only vaguely recall the "Longines" program! I'm originally from the NYC area. Was this program based there also? I, too was just a kid when I 1st saw this. As for the "hotter" part, I'm in your corner! Peggy could elicit a more erotic response just by being, than could Madonna and Janet Jackson by having "wardrobe malfunctions!" Bravo YOU! I'm happy to hear from you!
I CANNOT believe tht that creepy suit sitting to watch her is the one this great singer was singing about !
This was at the beginning of his career. He continued filming, made other movies and later had his own TV Show! He was extremely popular for that show. Don't know if you'll know his daughter, Marlo Thomas. She's had her own career in entertainment. HIs name was Danny Thomas. Hope you enjoyed Peggy, and her song was amazing!
Best,
Varadero
Think we'll mutually have to get in touch with the ghost of Ray Bradbury to make your dream come true. I'd join you on the trip! It must be in First Class, and I prefer seat 4A! Just kidding; she's sensational here and in everything she's ever done! Thanks for writing!
Actually, Rodgers wrote the music; Lorenz Hart was the lyricist.
IIRC, Rodgers was a big purist when it came to his music. And again, IIRC, he hated jazz. He insisted that his music be performed exactly as he wrote it. Fortunately, most creative performers (singers and instrumentalists) ignored him. It was a good thing if he finally came to his senses regarding Ms. Lee's performance.☺
Well, they found out when she kicked the ass of the Disney corporation for having hijacked her contributions to "Lady and The Tramp!" At her advanced age, and even though it may have contributed to her death, she won the $3,000,000 lawsuit against Mickey! I grew up hearing her, and miss her to this day. Thanks so much for your message ChesterDrozre!
Mezzo soprano❤
its funny because Richard Rodgers who wrote this song said " why did peggy lee pick on me when she could have fucked up silent night" because she has such a small range, she changed the whole song, he got upset, but later he wrote songs for her just for the small range she did have for the alter show she did.
