Peggy Lee would have been 100 today!

Fever – Peggy Lee

Peggy Lee was one of the first big sex symbols of the 50’s as a result of her “come hither” singing style.  She was born on this day in 1920.

The song, Fever, was written by the same guy that did Don’t be Cruel and Great Balls of Fire.

She was born Norma Deloris Egstrom – not a name that she kept for some reason! 

She was a great jazz vocalist.  She wrote the lyrics for lots of songs and was also an accomplished actor.  She married and divorced 4 times – obviously an optimist!

You can probably pick up one of her cd’s cheaply – you won’t regret it.
