A fine sampler of her work,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of the Singles Collection (Audio CD)
This CD would be worth owning for the first two tracks - 'You Was Right, Baby' and 'It's A Good Day' which are both two of my favorite songs of all time. But really, every song on here is good. 'Is That All There Is?' is an elegantly detached masterpiece.Peggy Lee was a great talent and this disc is the perfect introduction to her work. Ignore the 'remix' at the end which makes this seem like it's trying to compete with the other single-disc samplers like Elvis #1 Hits or the Beatles 1.

Fever Hard to Bear,
By
This review is from: The Best of the Singles Collection (Audio CD)
Life is so peculiar. My interest in Peggy Lee was sparked by Maria Muldaur's tribute CD "A Woman Alone With the Blues (Remembering Peggy Lee)." Then I found an old LP at a garage sale and wanted to hear more. This disc is an excellent snapshot of her work. The remastering makes the tracks clear with the only exception some distortion on her wonderful teaming with Louis Prima on "Yeah Yeah Yeah." That track is a great rocking jazzfest with the horns mostly clear throughout and Peggy's great, "I say drive he says yeah. I say park he says yeah. I say neck he says yeah. He says yeah yeah yeah yeah all the time!" Of course, the most famous of her songs is "Fever" with its throbbing bass and finger snap percussion. The 2003 remix that closes the CD that tries to update her sound wasn't particularly needed from my perspective, but the original burns with that fever that's so hard to bear. Another highlight for me is "Life is So Peculiar." It's got a great swing, "The ocean's only got water, you never know where you stand." The liner notes are very informative, telling us that this was recorded as a duet with Bing Crosby in her first film "Mr. Music" but was recorded by Peggy without Bing since he recorded for Decca and she for Capitol. Peggy penned "I Love Being Here with You" that swings with a vengeance, "I like a dance by Fred Astaire, & Brando's eyes, Yule Brenner's hair, but I think to tell you's only fair that I love being here with you." This is an excellent way to discover or remember Miss Peggy Lee! Enjoy!
