Peggy Lee (May 26, 1920 - January 21, 2002) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. She was famous for her "soft and cool" singing style, which she is thought to have developed in response to noisy nightclub audiences.
Lee was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in Jamestown, North Dakota. After her mother died her father remarried and her stepmother was very cruel to her. So she left home, and in 1941, she joined Benny Goodman's band then at the height of its popularity and for over two years toured the United States with it. In early 1942, Lee had her first # 1 hit, "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place," followed by 1943's "Why Don't You Do Right?," which sold over a million copies and made her famous.
She is most famous for her cover version of the Little Willie John hit "Fever" and her rendition of Leiber and Stoller's "Is That All There Is?"
The American singer Peggy Lee moved mostly between jazz and pop, but "Is That All There Is?" has clear (according to the time) rock influences. Nevertheless, she remained true to herself and lined up musical pearl after pearl. The 1969 album was her greatest success, and the eponymous theme song Lee earned a Grammy for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance. The recording took place in the famous "Capitol Tower Studios" in Hollywood.
Lee was nominated for twelve Grammy Awards, winning Best Contemporary Vocal Performance for her 1969 hit "Is That All There Is?" In 1995 she was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
