Often referred to as the female Frank Sinatra and holding the title as longest reigning female recording artist at Capitol Records for 23 years, Peggy Lee had a staggering 6 decade career.

Her reign spanned from her early discovery in Chicago by "The King of Swing" Benny Goodman (raised on Maxwell Street!) to her hit songwriting skills most notably for Disney’s “Lady & the Tramp” to her critically acclaimed acting/singing roles in “Pete Kelly’s Blues” and “The Jazz Singer.”  Nominated over her lifetime for 12 Grammy Awards, she won in 1969 for what became her signature tune, Leiber & Stoller's "Is That All There Is?"
 
Songs include "Why Don't You Do Right?," "I Don't Know Enough About You," "Big Spender," "Black Coffee," "Manana," "He's a Tramp," "Siamese Cat Song," "Bella Note," "Don't Smoke in Bed," "I'm a Woman," "I Like Men," "It's a Good Day," "Is That All There Is?," "Fever," and many more!
