    Peggy Lee was the closest thing to a female Frank Sinatra. Both in her style, attitude, and choice of songs. Fever is a great classic. Her style matured over the years as did Frank’s. They both started out as big band singers in the era where big bands dominated and the band leaders were the biggest stars. Later the big bands faded and small bands such as quartets and trios were in. Eg Nat King Cole Trio. The singers became the biggest stars. At this point, Peggy was such an amazing, mature, developed singer, and big star that she only needed a duet, bass and drum. (Upright bass, not a bass guitar.)

    She started out in the big band era, in the early 40's with other crooners. Her genre remained Pop and Jazz and she was one of the most famous female singers from the 40's to the 70's and beyond. She performed until the 90's, for more than 70 years. She sang the Lord's Prayer at Louis Armstrong's funeral. Her 1969 song, "Is That All There Is" was significant to quite a few young people who were embarking on spiritual quests at the time.

      Billie holiday has been my favourite singer of any genre since I first heard her when I was 18 in 1968. I was so disappointed to discover she had already gone. My favourite thing by her is the live (long) version of Fine and Mellow with all the great instrumental solos between verses and the cracked, croaking speaking voice in her intro that blossomed into the beauty when she sang. But anything by her would do for me.

    Some killer stuff about her on Wiki. She helped write the songs for the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp, as well as performing several characters. Miss Piggy, of Muppets fame, was originally named Miss Piggy Lee before they cut her name down to just Miss Piggy. When Peggy Lee was in Texas she requested that the bartender make her a drink similar to one she'd had in Mexico. He did, and they named it after the full version of her name. Peggy is a nickname for Margaret, which in Spanish is Margarita. That's right - Margarita is named for Peggy Lee. At least, that's how the story goes....

    The old girl singers were fantastic. Peggy Lee, Julie London, Kay Starr, and not to forget the little sparrow Edith Piaf. Fever is good, but I prefer "Why don't you do right" for the little vocal inflections Peggy puts in it. I finally figured out why big bands were so big, they did not have amplifiers. If you wanted to fill a music hall full of dancers you needed a really big band. You might want to listen to Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, or Glenn Miller from that era. You won't be sorry.

    This is a great 1958 cover of a popular 1956 Little Willie John song, also covered by tons of other people.

    What makes this song unique is the simple background music - double bass, percussion - and a killer voice.

    Peggy Lee has a unique way of interpreting a song. "Is That All There Is" is my favorite of hers no one else has ever done that song better.

    Is That All There Is is another classic from Peggy Lee. Such a sultry voice.

    You should watch her live performance, Peggy Lee, Fever, where she does her magic along with her accompaniment, Mac Bennet on bass and Jack Sperling on drums. It’ll really wow you.

    Love the song Pass Me By by Peggy Lee. Featured well in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel show and soundtrack.

    I like that you’re going back to the REAL Oldie Goldies…you never know what you’ll find back there! You should even try out some of the girl groups from back then, like the Andrews Sisters (very popular in WWII) or the McGuire Sisters. My mom and dad would swing dance across the living room every time those bands came on the radio.

      I think they would enjoy the plethora of musicals from and around the 40's. Great singers, great songs, great(usually) acting, HUGE dance productions.

    FEVER was recorded by her ( cover) in ‘58. Little Willy John's version ‘56 sold a million copies, but it was jazz singer Peggy Lee , in 1958, who radically reinvented “Fever” and turned it into a febrile shimmer of desire. Taking the song into a Hollywood studio, Lee made it a sumptuous exercise in insatiable yearning. She has a sultry and sexy voice as well as classy all rolled into one sexy song. She IS a Torch song singer! You’re listening to the Studio version. This is my favorite out of all versions she’s done!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    You two are a breath of fresh air. Female Friday’s is great. The Jets, a family of singers and musicians from Tonga, were protégés of Prince, in the ‘80’s. The sisters took the lead on a song called “You Got it All Over Him”. If you haven’t heard it, I think you will really like it. Thank you.
