It has occurred to me that some younger people might not remember Peggy Lee. But they might recall Disney's Lady and the Tramp. Peggy Lee did three songs on the soundtrack of that movie. It was a rather bold choice for the studio to make, since she was known as one of the sexiest and sultriest singers of the era. Not what one might have expected from Disney in those days.

Also, I wanted to post a link to the official Peggy Lee web site. She was just about the last of the great jazz-pop voices of the big band era, and one of the best. She has left a legacy of recordings equal to that of any of her peers.

that song will be timeless...

Peggy Lee recorded two of the most memorable songs that I relate to.

Is that all there is? speaks to a (almost) Sarte-like realization that there is no afterlife, so that we should live for the present.

Fever, for me, defined the essence of lust.

and the titillating and sultry:

we are Si-a-me-ese if you please
we are Siamese if you don't please

her finest work!

I especially liked how she made her singing seem so effortless yet had such a full voice

Peace
