Beneath the Veneer of Cool, a Frail Humanity By James Gavin

Peggy Lee cast a spell when she sang. She hypnotized, even on television. Lee epitomized cool, but her signature song “Fever,” covered by Beyoncé and , sizzles with sexual heat. She never had to shout to make her point; in Lee’s musical language, silence spoke as loudly as sound. Hers was a sweet, husky bed- room voice that beckoned you closer. “When I get very quiet and very intense,” Lee explained, “the power goes right through.” Her jazz sense and swing feel dazzled , , and . Grady Tate, her longtime drum- mer, placed Lee on the pedestal occupied by her idol, . “Peggy had that nasty, laid-back, demented, sultry, incredibly funky sound that Lady Day had,” Tate said. “But it was Lady with another Lady on top of it.”

Recent generations may love her best for her Grammy-winning 1969 classic “Is That All There Is?,” an anthem of existential angst

Note on the Program the on Note by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Lee’s recording was arranged, at her insistence, by a then-unknown . But her talents went far beyond singing. In 1955 she earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in Pete Kelly’s , in w hich she played an alcoholic torch singer who goes insane. That same year, Walt Disney released its animated classic Lady and the Tramp, to which Lee contributed four character voices and a half-dozen lyrics—a crowning achievement for an artist who was a singer-songwriter before the term existed.

Peggy Lee was born in 1920 as Deloris Egstrom, a name as flat as the Jamestown, , landscape from which she sprang. “I was a weird little child with a tremendous imagina- tion,” she recalled. Her best childhood friend, Artis Conitz, added: “She came up out of nowhere. She made a lot out of nothing.” By 1941, Lee was singing with the King of Swing, . From the late ’40s onward she reigned at the country’s top supper clubs, including Ciro’s, Basin Street East, and the Empire Room fo the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Audiences saw a blonde seductress with a mermaid’s figure, a vixen’s smile, and the ability to control the stage like a puppeteer. Characters materialized with each song. In “,” she became a barroom vamp on the make. “I’m a Woman” cast her as an indomitable, sexy house- wife. “What Is a Woman?,” “An Empty Glass,” and the Carpenters hit “Superstar” found her evoki ng faded women whose last chances at love had fled. American Songbook I Note on the Program

With time, Lee grew ever stranger and more contradictory. Onstage she epito- mized cool control, but inner turmoil wracked her. She spun a romantic nirvana in her songs, yet couldn’t sustain one in reality. Late in life, a woman plagued by illness and frailty won a two-and-a-half-year battle against Disney in a landmark case over unpaid royalties. By now she looked like a bizarre fallen angel: a shapeless blur of ghostly, gleaming white, from her snowy Cleopatra wig to her feathered silk robe. Lee claimed a special line to God and declared she would never die. She finally did in 2002.

For all her crises and self-destructiveness, Lee is no downtrodden Billie Holiday to the public. Instead she seems tough, sexy, and victorious. The fascination with her has only grown. Lee’s voice keeps turning up like a tenacious ghost in movies, commercials, and television shows. “Is That All There Is?” was featured last spring in the final season of Mad Men. Nearly all of her 50-plus original albums have been reissued. In 2007 record producer Mark Vidler made a mashup of “Fever” and ’s “The Passenger.” Lee’s breakthrough single, “Why Don’t You Do Right?,” recorded in 1942 with Benny Goodman, was sampled in the 2010 No. 1 UK dance hit “Why Don’t You?” by Serbian DJ Gramophonedzie.

Vocally, Lee left her mark on many singers. “I love everything about her,” said . “She is one of the greatest influences in what I do as an artist.” , , k.d. lang, Jane Monheit, and have all acknowledged her influence. “I knew I could nev er sound like her, but I wanted to,” said .

Today, when commercial pop is overrun by a fleet of Auto-Tuned robots, lip- syncing onstage to their own vocal tracks and lost onstage without smoke and mirrors, the achievement of Peggy Lee—who sang unaided by anything but musicians, lighting, and a microphone, and who exposed her heart at every show—seems even grander in its humanity. In to night’s show, five singers, all distinct from one another and from Peggy Lee, will conjure up the many sides of an uncategorizable, eternally haunting American original.

James Gavin is author of Is That All There Is?: The Strange Life of Peggy Lee, now in paperback from Atria Books/Simon & Schuster.
