Is that all there is? : the strange life of Peggy Lee
Gavin, James, 1964-2014
Books, Manuscripts
Miss Peggy Lee cast a spell when she sang. She purred so intimately in nightclubs that couples clasped hands and huddled closer. She hypnotized, even on television. Lee epitomized cool, but her trademark song, 'Fever' - covered by Beyonce and Madonna - is the essence of sizzling sexual heat. But who was the woman behind the Mona Lisa smile? With elegant writing and impeccable research, including interviews with hundreds who knew Lee, acclaimed music journalist James Gavin offers the most revealing look yet at an artist of infinite contradictions and layers.
