Culled from the Grammy-winning deluxe box set MISS PEGGY LEE, this re-mastered collection is perhaps the most compact overview of Peggy Lee*s early and late Capitol periods. Her late-*40s hits, done in collaboration with guitarist/husband Dave Barbour, have never sounded better, and include here essential Peggy Lee originals like the sly “I Don*t Know Enough About You,” “It*s a Good Day,” and the politically incorrect (even for the time) “Manana.”

THE BEST OF MISS PEGGY LEE is a companion disc to the 4-CD box set MISS PEGGY LEE.
Culled from the Grammy-winning deluxe box set MISS PEGGY LEE, this re-mastered collection is perhaps the most compact overview of Peggy Lee*s early and late Capitol periods. Her late-*40s hits, done in collaboration with guitarist/husband Dave Barbour, have never sounded better, and include here essential Peggy Lee originals like the sly “I Don*t Know Enough About You,” “It*s a Good Day,” and the politically incorrect (even for the time) “Manana.” Since Lee spent the first half of the *50s at Decca, her return to Capitol in 1957 unveiled a seasoned pro in a completely different (improved) recording environment. These are the years of “Fever” and “Alright, Okay, You Win.” It*s interesting that as the singer commanded more deluxe studio treatment, she and her producers opted for a “big beat” R&B feeling. Nevertheless, Peggy Lee*s musical instincts never hurt her c
ommercially as her 1969 swan song, the Lieber-and-Stoller-produced “Is That All There Is?,” proved all too well.
