Customer comments on this selection.
 Thorough bio
Richmond is obviously a fan, and his effusiveness becomes a bit overbearing at times. Nevertheless, this is a very detailed bio, with lots of interesting musical / historical information.
br /One small gripe: Not enough info about all the great musicians who backed her, especially drummers (Stan Levy, Jack Sperling). On a lot of the recording sessions, all the musicians are named except the drummer.
 Peggy Lee's early recordings
Wish there had been more info and/or details of her early recordings with Capitol and the Modern Jazz group, especially with Dave Barbour and Singletary doing Ain't Goin' No Place. However, the book as a whole is a feast of jazz inter-connections and clues to personality idiosyncrasies, in both Lee and many others.
 PEGGY LEE - ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER!
A WELL WRITTEN BOOK ON THE LIFE AND CAREER OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S
br /GREATEST AND MULTI-TALENTED ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!
D WATSON The Life of Peggy Lee
This story of the life and music of Norma Deloris Egstrom from North Dakota has given all Pegy Lee fans a far more complete version of the most talented singer songwriter of the 20th century than her own Autobiography. Not only has Peter Richmond captured ever nuance of Peggy's complex character but he also has painted a picture of the American music scene of the 30's, 40's and 50's in intimate detail.Some of her loyal fans, particularly those like myself from, England, may be dissapointed to find she had, like all icons with talent of the highest order, many flaws. It was, however, the mental and physical anguish she suffered as a young woman, that formed her character and propelled her into immortality.
br /I sincerley hope that her many fans in the USA will be lobbying to have Peggy Lee represented, Like her contemporaries, Benny Goodman,Count Basie, Billie Holliday etc, on a postage stamp in the Legends of American Music Series

I am from a past generation. Born in 1934. I had the chance to follow Peggy Lee for a number of years durning her life. The book helps me clearify some of the missing parts of her life. I love Peggy Lee and I have enjoyed the book.
