Album artwork for The Velvet Lounge - Fever by Peggy Lee

Peggy Lee - a Voice of the Century! Finally, one of the great singers of the American Songbook appears in the Velvet Lounge series on Bear Family Records. Meticulous compilation with rock n roll, rhythm n blues, jazz and pop from Peggy Lee's long career, recordings from 1948 to 1962. Featuring ballads, uptempo numbers, songs from movies and live recordings - some on CD for the first time - the CD album reflects Peggy Lee's artistic versatility. Her big hit Fever is included twice, as the 1958 hit version and as a rare live recording from 1961, and with Hallelujah, I Love Him So and other songs the singer bows to Ray Charles. The 36-page colour booklet provides a Peggy Lee biography by Chicago music historian Bill Dahl, as well as a detailed session discography, rare pictures and memorabilia.
