Aus 84 - Tribute To Peggy Lee

A Collection of Aussie Radio Shows No 84 “Norma Deloris Engstrom" (sometimes also spelled Egstrom; May 26, 1920 - January 21, 2002) known professionally as " Peggy Lee" , was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress, in a career spanning six decades. From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, she forged a sophisticated persona, evolving into a multi-faceted artist and performer. During her career, she wrote music for films, acted, and recorded conceptual record albums that combined poetry and music. A friend of mine was nursing Peggy in a Los Angeles hospital and I became aware that her time was near. I wrote this tribute program to Peggy and recorded it the day after her death in January 2002. Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. If they are not in the public domain, notify me and they will be deleted.
