Peggy Lee - "Fever" 1961 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@bobbydorou8438]

Her word delivery just sublime.

[@sharonelliott2366]

This song belongs to her. She did the best, sexiest rendition of it every single time.

[@sirlordford]

The definition of a Classic.

[@houdinimagpie3364]

I utterly adore her 😍🤩 ...I'm an old soul anyway (26 in this life), but she's timeless. Her songs are some of my favourites when I sing. Thank you for sharing this ❤️✌️

[@markscheinfeld3020]

Can't believe I remember seeing this when I was 9 years old. It was something new and different. Love seeing.

[@BTURNER1961]

Peggy Lee is singing this no autotune, no post production voice processing, no orchestra, no piano accompaniment. Its just her, one hand held microphone, and a set of drums - and of course two fingers.

[@eh5601]

The bass right now: 😡

[@lucaswallo8127]

What

[@lcs1955]

@@eh5601 The best accompaniment ever for this song. Too bad there are no credits.

[@Debbie-h7f]

Auto tune isn’t what you think it is😑

[@BlackNerdist]

@@Debbie-h7f Auto tune= put the vocals in tone when they are not. She is not using it because it was not invented yet.

[@veronicafleitas412]

Love these videos of the 60s!

[@higbyrocket09]

Happy Birthday Miss Lee this 15 year old is a fan!

[@alimantado373]

You have taste little man!

[@gigiadam1777]

Magnifique chanteuse. Voix inimitable. Sourire ravageur. Les USA avaient un roi (Elvis), mais ils avaient aussi une reine.

[@selinakyle3194]

I love this song. It’s so sexy, I watched so many perform this song but they all tried to hard. The hand on her hip her sly smile. It’s all so controlled and subtle but so sexy!

[@Its_flakkie]

Pure energy

[@NeuriMercedes]

This song belongs to her no matter the covers

[@chuckpeterson3262]

Peggy Lee was a vocal genuis.

[@НиколайКотик-г3э]

...bravo, super star.

[@johnvanorder3581]

Absolutely the definition of classy and sexy. Wow!

[@KlausBeckEwerhardy]

Like a sung dance of the veils.

[@hetorakelt]

awesome

[@cstephenson3749]

Just like Marilyn, there is NO part of her that does not wiggle, all in time to her music No wonder she commanded such attention. Wiggles and inherent musical talent is a powerful combination.

[@AsterTea]

Peggy Lee did not wiggle. Her performance was understated, showing singular hints of wiggle, without any need to do much more. Smooth elegance, nuance, and sensuality, plus her expressive eyebrows

[@knowglobal-Redwoman]

Great ladyyyyyy🎉🎉🎉

[@cstephenson3749]

Hats off to the 'hip-py' , well-rounded girls! Not a straight line on her anywhere!

[@ralf5886]

how you can license something that is so old that it's in the public domain at this stage?

[@ReelinInTheYears66]

Just cause something is “old” does not mean the copyright has expired. We represent the rights to this footage on behalf of the copyright holders and put our name across the screen to protect it from those who think that “old” footage is public domain and thus use it for whatever they want.

[@babuddha]

Peggy got the arrangement of Fever just right... but this tempo, at least, is way too fast for Peggy to express the slinky eroticism of the song. It's just what it is -- a sanitized 50s tv version of what the song could be in her able caress of the words and their emotion.

[@chuckp1832]

The drummer on this is awesome! Not to take away from Peggy Lee but, take the drums outta this and it is nothing.

[@carolynbailey7081]

The instrument is a bass.

[@aronvarga5325]

Start @0:25

[@skgate]

i always wondered where the doors got this from

[@davidbrunson8887]

Madonna also did her own cover on her Erotica album.

[@sim_art]

👍

[@softyme63]

Elvis did a slower cool version too

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

Femininity

[@hanno-erdmanntietz8424]

I would go to any of her concerts if only I could. Acts like Taylor Swift mean nothing to me.

[@CGPitcher15]

Ms. Krabappel did it better

[@conorboyle8827]

Fever.... HA!
