[Dixielandjazz] Peggy Lee Film/Video/TV

[Stephen G Barbone]

Dear Bill, Iraj & Craig:

I don't think the list of her film/video/TV performances is complete.  
She had her own TV show for a few summers as a replacement for Dinah  
Shore. And she appeared on numerous other TV shows as a guest artist  
during her career. (e.g. Judy Garland Show, Carol Burnett Show, Sammy  
Cahn Show, Nat King Cole Show, Mike Douglas show, etc, etc) Below is a  
clip of my favorite song of hers.

sound)

sucks)

Miss Peggy Lee was a wonderful singer and a wonderful lady to work for  
according to our guitarist who toured with her, appeared with her on  
her TV and on the Mike Douglas Show. When I introduce him at our  
programs, I point out that Peggy Lee loved him and dedicated a song to  
him . . . (drum roll) "Is That All Their Is?" Always gets a big laugh,  
as he shakes his head and says, "no, man, it was Fever.

Iraj, welcome to the list. My friends here in the USA stand firmly  
with you and your people.
