The Best of Miss Peggy Lee

by
Peggy Lee
Any compilation that properly anthologizes the chart history of Miss Peggy Lee is forced to sprint through 24 years, including a pair of decades that were the most culturally tumultuous of the 20th century. Such is the peril of attempting to summarize Lee's career by way of her hits, though for introductory purposes this disc is an excellent one ...

Peggy Lee
Except for four hit-making years for Decca in the middle of the '50s, Peggy Lee spent the balance of her career with Capitol. And though her many LPs were among the best recorded at the label, most still lay unreleased by the late '90s. Capitol rectified the situation somewhat with the release of its four-disc treatment, Miss Peggy Lee. Including ...

Like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee started out as a big band vocalist but was destined to enjoy her greatest success as a solo artist. The band leader who gave Lee her first major break and featured her prominently in the early 1940s was Benny Goodman, much as Tommy Dorsey did with Sinatra and Chick Webb did with Fitzgerald. ...

Latin ala Lee!
(1960)

by
Peggy Lee
More than a decade after her massive hit "Mañana," Peggy Lee recorded a full album of Latin themes with Latin ala Lee!. The subtitle -- "Broadway hits styled with an Afro-Cuban beat" -- sounds not only forced, but a bit too gimmicky to be worth much more than the cardboard it's printed on. Also, none of the musicians are credited, and only a ...

Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949

by
Various Artists
As the 1940s wore on, the end of the big band/swing era resulted in changes on the pop music horizon. This fourth disc in Rhino's latest pre-rock series, Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949 shows how sophisticated, jazzy fare declined, and forgettable, novelty numbers reigned. Peggy Lee's "Mañana," with its phony Afro-Latin vocal and exaggerated ...

by
Peggy Lee
While Peggy Lee is renowned for her '50s and '60s recordings for Capitol and Decca, her early transition from big-band canary to solo-billing stardom wouldn't have happened without a parade of excellent late-'40s sides (many of them hits). A Proper Introduction to Peggy Lee: I Get Ideas focuses on that period, so listeners looking for later Peggy ...

Pete Rugolo's first two albums, Introducing and Adventures in Rhythm, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables.

This is a wonderful four-disc collection of tracks from Peggy Lee's first solo stint with Capitol Records in the mid- to late-1940s, shortly after she left her spot as a singer with Benny Goodman's band in 1943, and her early sides for Decca Records, who signed her in 1952. While many would argue that her best work was done a decade later during ...

Music for a Bachelorette's Pad

Various Artists
The revival of space age pop and exotica proved almost as chauvinistic as the music's original heyday four decades earlier. Virtually every reissue seemed geared to the male psyche, with gorgeous women on the covers, cocktail recipes in the liner notes, and wonderfully cheesy grooves promising to lubricate the art of seduction. Music for a ...
