5.0 out of 5 stars Sure To Be A Favorite In Your Collection, Dec 9 2001

By

This review is from: Capitol Years Best Of (Audio CD)

Although nothing short of a comprehensive box set can do full justice to Peggy Lee, this collection will be a welcome addition to any collection, for it includes a number of essential tracks as well several less often heard but equally impressive recordings.

In general, the collection focuses on recordings that have a distinctly bluesy undercurrent, such as "Why Don't You Do Right" and "Fever." At the same time, the collection also manages to find room for such light pop recordings as "Call Me," a killer live recording of "Well Alright, Okay, You Win," and a surprisingly effective cover of River's "Seventh Son."

Regardless of the specific track, Lee's vocals are superior on every recording and her interpretations--here ranging from the drop-dead restrait of "For Every Man There's a Woman" to the sassy "I'm A Woman"--are Peggy Lee at her finest, irreproachable throughout. Strongly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars PEG WITH CAPITOL THE SECOND TIME, July 1 2001

By

ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QU�BEC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Capitol Years Best Of (Audio CD)

Generally interesting best of recordings of PEGGY with CAPITOL.What is MISS LEE's greatest strenght is that she can take ordinary songs and transform them so it seems they are better when she sings them.FEVER is a perfect example;this song was also recorded by ELVIS in the early sixties.You should not be disapointed if you buy that record.However be warned,if you need one collection from PEGGY,you must buy the 1952-1956 DECCA collection which really shows her wide range better than this.Long time fans will enjoy this side of PEGGY LEE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Perfect, July 27 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Capitol Years Best Of (Audio CD)

Peggy Lee's smooth,silky voice captures the essence of any song-be it ballads or swing. She sings from the heart and I could listen to her for hours.
