Peggy Lee

Born: May 26, 1920

Across a seven-decade career, Peggy Lee helped shape the sound of American popular music. With a voice marked by intimacy, subtlety, and a masterful sense of phrasing, she became one of the most distinctive vocalists of the twentieth century, moving effortlessly between jazz, popular song, blues, and the Great American Songbook. She recorded more than 1,100 masters, wrote over 270 songs, and charted more than 100 hits.

At a time when singers in popular music rarely wrote their own material, Peggy was one of the earliest and most successful contemporary singer-songwriters. She co-wrote many of her own hits, including “It’s a Good Day,” “Mañana,” and “Where Can I Go Without You?” and also composed for film, co-writing songs for Disney’s Lady and the Tramp, including “He’s a Tramp” and “La La Lu.”
