Peggy Lee

Peggy Lee was a performer without peer----a singer, songwriter, actress and artist who spanned genres and generations with music that remains vital and captivating. Sultry and swinging, Peggy's biggest hits are featured here: Fever; I'm A Woman; Alright, Okay You Win; Lover: Big Spender; It's A Good Day and the Grammy Award winning Is That All There Is. This special collection of Peggy's television appearances also offers an enticing variety of more favorites: I Can't Stop Loving You, Unforgettable, I Don't Know Enough About You, Somebody Lovers Me, Manana, Me & My Shadow, The Lonesome Road, He's Gone Away, So What's New, Louisville Lou and Things Are Swingin' ---- Plus duets with Johnny Cash, Petula Clark, Stever Lwarence & Eydie Gorme, a Featurette with Michael Feinstein and a salute from Paul McCartney.

The documentary tracks the diva's difficult progress as she emerges from the tough, testosterone-fuelled world of the big bands of the 30s and 40s, to fill nightclubs and saloons across the US in the 50s and early 60s as a force in her own right. Looking at the lives and careers of six individual singers (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone and Annie Ross), the film not only talks to those who knew and worked with these queens of jazz, but also to contemporary singers who sit on the shoulders of these trailblazing talents without having to endure the pain and hardship it took for them to make their highly individual voices heard above the prejudice of mid-century America.
