ghost of miles Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Many listeners know Peggy Lee as a great jazz singer, but she was also a prolific writer of songs—composing or co-composing nearly 200 of them, including hits such as “I Don’t Know Enough About You” and “Manana” as well as lesser-known gems like “That Ol’ Devil Won’t Get Me” and “There’ll Be Another Spring.” She counted among her collaborators Victor Young, Cy Coleman, and husband Dave Barbour; along with Sonny Burke she also wrote the songs for the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp, including “The Siamese Cat Song” and “He’s a Tramp.” We’ll hear Lee performing a number of these songs, along with several interpretations from other artists such as Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone. "Miss Peggy Lee, Songwriter" airs Saturday, March 10 at 11:05 p.m. on WFIU and at 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN-Evansville. It will also air Sunday evening at 10 p.m. EST on Michigan's Blue Lake Public Radio, and will be posted Monday afternoon in the Night Lights archives. Special thanks to David Torresen for his assistance with this program. For more about Peggy Lee, go here. Via YouTube, you can also see videos of her and husband Dave Barbour performing two of the songs they wrote: I Don't Know Enough About You and It's a Good Day. Next week: "The International Sweethearts of Rhythm." Edited January 26, 2008 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
