Peggy Lee was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress. Born on May 26, 1920 in Jamestown, North Dakota, USA, she had a prolific career that spanned several decades. She gained recognition for her role as the hard-drinking singer in the jazz saga "Pete Kelly's Blues" (1955), which earned her an Academy Award nomination. Additionally, she composed songs for the beloved Walt Disney animated classic "Lady and the Tramp" (1955).

Throughout her career, Peggy Lee achieved chart success with numerous songs. While she had higher-ranking hits such as "Mañana (Is Soon Enough for Me)" (#1 in 1948) and "Golden Earrings" (#2 in 1948), it is her iconic song "Fever" that has become synonymous with her as a singer. Released in 1958, "Fever" reached #8 on the U.S. charts and #5 on the U.K. charts.

In addition to her solo work, Peggy Lee collaborated with various artists including Mel Tormé, Bing Crosby, and Gordon Jenkins and His Orchestra. As a songwriter herself, she penned twelve charted songs including the hit "Mañana (Is Soon Enough for Me)" co-written with her then-husband Dave Barbour.

As a salute to the music legend, and celebrating Peggy’s landmark 100th birthday, comes a brand new career-spanning collection, Ultimate Peggy Lee. The album, available on CD &amp; 2-LP, features hits and signature songs, including Fever, It’s a Good Day, He’s A Tramp, Big Spender, I’m A Woman and the previously unreleased Try A Little Tenderness.

One of the most important musical influences of the 20th century, Peggy Lee wrote over 200 songs, recorded over 1,100 masters, and had over 100 chart hits throughout her seven-decade career. As one of the world’s first female contemporary singer-songwriters, she co-wrote and sang many of her own hits, most notably He’s A Tramp for Disney’s Lady and the Tramp as well as Mañana and It’s A Good Day. She’s best known for hits Why Don’t You Do Right?, Fever, I’m A Woman, and Is That All There Is?, for which she won the Grammy® for Best Contemporary Female Vocal Performance. A 13-time Grammy® nominee, she received Lifetime Achievement awards from NARAS, ASCAP and The Society of Singers, was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Pete Kelly’s Blues.
