This is the kind of jazz played in the old coffee houses where they would recite poetry and have musical jam sessions. Bongos were quite common then.

Such a sultry steamy song - Love it! And think you're right Ace, more jazz than blues, notes of lounge music too.

"Fever" was a top ten hit for Peggy Lee in 1958. Elvis covered the song in 1960 and included it on his fourth album, Elvis Is Back!, released after he returned from the army. Madonna also covered the song back in the late nineties if I remember correctly. Bruce Springsteen wrote a song in the early seventies called "The Fever" that he gave to Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes which might be taken as the flip side of this song as it shuffles along a similarly languid stroll. Peggy Lee "Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too)" makes a good companion song to Priscilla Bowman "Sugar Daddy" and Ann Cole "Are You Satisfied".

I would go with jazz as well. But I’ve only been listening to it for 60 years or so. Thanks for the reaction Ace.

"Fever" was written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell, who used the pseudonym "John Davenport". It was originally recorded by American R&B singer Little Willie John for his debut album, Fever (1956), and released as a single in April of the same year. Little Willie John performs the song in a soul and R&B style. Peggy Lee's 1958 rendition became the best known version and her signature song. Lee's version contained rewritten lyrics that Peggy Lee wrote without credit, and an altered music arrangement. Peggy Lee's version is presented in a slower tempo than the original version and in a bluesy, jazzy and sultry torch song style popular in lounges and coffee houses of that time period. The uncopyrighted lyrics by Lee featured historical references (including the verses beginning "Romeo loved Juliet," and "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") and are now generally thought of as a standard part of the song; they have been included in most subsequent covers of "Fever".

Peggy Lee was definitely a jazz singer. She was of my father's generation (and I'm pretty sure I'm old enough to by your grandfather). Another fantastic jazz singer from that generation, and I don't believe any reaction channel has yet discovered her, is Sarah Vaughan, known as "Sassy" to her fans. Check out her incredible live performance of the classic jazz hit, "Misty," live in Sweden in 1964. Even with a cold, she delievered a flawless performance. What a talent. My dad's favorite female singer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onu7faR3qtmkopY Another one is Nancy Wilson, who would later go on to enjoy a fine acting career and was a mainstay on some situation comedies on TV up through the '80s or '90s (I forget). But when she was younger, during the 1960s, Nancy Wilson was one hot dish who could bring a man to his knees. Here she is on TV's Hollywood Palace, a weekly variety show that aired on Saturday nights on ABC back in the day. You'll definitely remember this once you've seen it kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIOugWCnmq-pjLc She had one other jazz hit that's worth mentioning here. "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am." If you liked the upright bass in Peggy Lee's "Fever," you might like this, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuTZniPZ8aDbas

Proud of you for drinking that green tea! I like her version of this! Elvis did it too 😍

Peggy Lee was a major force in music from the 40's forward. She didn't write this particular song, it was a massive hit for her and though covered by many others hers is the definite version and the song most often associated with her, she was a prolific songwriter composing or co-writing over 250 songs in her lifetime. Probably the most well-known of her compositions is "Manana" which became another of her signature tunes. Her first big success came as the vocalist with the Benny Goodman orchestra-"Why Don't You Do Right?" was their most successful collaboration and once she struck out on her own she became a top cabaret and recording star for decades. Other than the ones already mentioned I'd recommend: "Golden Earrings", "Is That All There Is?", "Big Spender", "Waiting for the Train to Come In" and "Elmer's Tune" among many others.

She added some material to it for this recording and future performances.

Originally done by Little Willie John. But, changing the arrangement and adding a sexy female vocal transformed the song, making both it and the singer iconic.

No, she did not write the song herself. It’s been covered by hundreds of people and groups.
