Norma Deloris Egstrom, better known as Peggy Lee, was born May 26, 1920, and beginning in 1941 was a popular music artist until her death in 2002. She began as the female singer with The Benny Goodman Band, but within a couple of years had embarked upon a solo career that would span six decades. She recorded dozens of albums that sold millions of copies worldwide. Her sales dipped beginning in the 1970\u2019s, but she remained a popular club and concert attraction until her death. She received a Grammy Award in 1995 for Lifetime Achievement. <\/p>\n
She may have produced a huge number of albums during her long career, but none were so shrouded in mystery as 2 Shows Nightly \u2013 Live At The Copa. <\/i>It was a live album recorded over a three night stay at The Copacabana night club in Now over four decades later, this long-lost album is finally seeing the light of day. Collector\u2019s Choice has remastered the original release\u2019s twelve tracks, giving them a clearness, which serves to enhance the quality of her vocals. It should be noted that some of the tracks were recreated in the studio, and applause was added in places. These original enhancements were kept in place.<\/p>\n Peggy Lee was a gifted pop vocalist who crossed over into a jazz sound at times. While she relied on standards and hits from her vast catalogue, she would also sing popular songs of the day as her renditions of \u201cBy The Time I Get To Phoenix,\u201d \u201cUntil Its Time For You To Go,\u201d and \u201cSomething Stupid\u201d show. The other tracks move effortlessly from Broadway to Tin Pan Alley to some old standards, all of which she delivers smoothly and with aplomb. <\/p>\n The pot is sweetened with the addition of twelve bonus tracks. Songs such as \u201cThe Lonesome Road,\u201d \u201cStay With Me,\u201d and \u201cHappy Feet\u201d make their CD stereo debuts. \u201cReason To Believe\u201d and \u201cDidn\u2019t Want To Have To Do It\u201d are presented in their single release versions. \u201cI Wound It Up,\u201d written by Lee and originally sung by Cary Grant, and \u201cMoney\u201d make their album debuts.<\/p>\n Peggy Lee may not have been a rock \u2018n\u2019 roller, but she was a star of the highest magnitude for a number of decades. The reappearance of this long lost album is a testament to that fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":30255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8542],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-41907","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-peggy-lee","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/41907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/41907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=41907"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=41907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
