Biography of Peggy Lee
Although she was one of the top pop singers of the 40s and 50s, Peggy Lee's love for jazz usually surfaced in her hip phrasing, and her cool cover of Little Willie John's "Fever" gave her a smash in the midst of rockmania in 1958. Lee was singing professionally by 1936, and she joined Benny Goodman's orchestra in 1941. Her tasty rendition of Lil Green's "Why Don't You Do Right?" gave Goodman a major hit in 1943, and by the end of the war, Lee was recording solo for Capitol. She and her husband Dave Barbour wrote "Ma¤ana (Is Good Enough for Me)," a million-selling chart-topper in 1948, while "Lover" was one of her first big items for Decca in 1952. Lee had returned to Capitol by the time "Fever" emerged, and her anthemic "I'm a Woman," penned by Jerry Leiber And Mike Stoller, has proven an enduring favorite. The offbeat "Is That All There Is?" was Lee's final pop-chart bow in 1969. ~ Bill Dahl
