J.A.W. Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 What's with this American habit to wish dead people a happy birthday?? I see it all the time on American bulletin boards. Very weird. Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 I was listening to some early Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman. She sounds like a completely different singer, much more in a Jo Stafford kind of bag. I realize singers' voices naturally change over time, but with Peggy Lee it sounds like she made a deliberate choice at some point to change her style. Any specific info on this? Quote
crisp Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 James Gavin's new bio might shed some light on this: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Is-That-All-There-Is/James-Gavin/9781451641684 Quote
Larry Kart Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 I'm a great admirer of Lee. I met her backstage once in the mid-'80s; it seemed as though the closer one got to her, the more indistinct her features became. Quote

Ted O'Reilly Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 "... the closer one got to her, the more indistinct her features became." What an interesting observation! I've noticed such a thing once or twice, but couldn't have stated it so succinctly... Quote
