Summary:
"One of the most popular female vocalists during her prime, Peggy Lee (1920-2002) was known for her very personal voice and the atmospheric quality of her recordings. Even if the range of her tone was somewhat limited, Peggy Lee always managed to convey emotion and depth in her singing, and that's why her cool, light swinging appealed to millions and turned her into a household name throughout the Fifties. After making her debut with the Benny Goodman orchestra of the early Forties, she temporarily retired from show-business to eventually comeback and enjoy a number of major hits for the Capitol label during the Forties and Fifties: "Black Coffee", "It's a Good Day", "Manana"' "Fever" ... A much respected artist, Peggy Lee was also a songwriter of talent and made frequent television and cinema appearances when she was at the peak of her popularity. Besides compiling some splendid "soundies" from Peggy Lee's golden years, this video features additional material starring another cool lady of jazz: June Christy. The edition is completed with several soundies featuring different all-women orchestras from the Swing era, headed by Inz Ray Hutton, Lorraine Page and Rita Rio. This is an essential document to explore some often neglected female figures in jazz."
