Peggy Lee - Fever | REACTION

[@arnieadam]

Peggy was big in her day. This was one of her more famous numbers. North Dakota doesn't have a whole lot of famous people to boast of, but Peggy was one of them. We were proud.

[@frankiebowie6174]

She’s still big! It’s the other ones who got small.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I'm 73 and her big popularity was a bit before my time. She was very big in the 40's and 50's. I didn't find her stuff until the late 1970's. Fever is her biggest, but my favorite is "Is that all there is?" Sardonic, sophisticated, absolutely perfect for her.

[@Abri412]

I discovered "Is that all there is" as a teen in the 90s and was amazed.

[@stellamartinez6636]

❤ She is a legend ❤

[@SherryDocchio]

One of the greatest Jazz singers of all time! I think "Fever" was on the Hit Parade's top 10 for weeks back in the late 50s. She was also the voice of the little vamp dog in Disney's animated movie "Lady and the Tramp". She was usually dressed in long gowns with a matching signature scarf dangling from one of her finger. Very classy singer.

[@susanworkman529]

Miss Peggy Lee......she was quite something, did you feel the sizzle?! Tssss. 🔥 Did you pay attention to the Bongo/Drummer player. He was fantastic! A cello, bongos snare drums and Miss Peggy Lee....perfect!

[@cattewest]

Magnificent. The immortal Peggy Lee.

[@brendavanwaldeck5809]

Great taste in music another legend 😍 love it thank you for you reaction ❤❤

[@vickihoneycutt456]

Beatnik music ,snapping those fingers to the beat ,old school AB.

[@charlessheifer2264]

Peggy Lee was an icon of jazz. She appeared in dozens of television shows and motion pictures. Hundreds of night clubs. Everyone knew her in the 50s and 60s.. A real entertainment legend.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Yeah! Peggy’s great 👏🏻🥰‼️ I love that she only needs two instruments behind her for this song and that the drummer is playing the drums like bongo🪘🪘 - sounds so cool 👏🏻🥰‼️ Enjoyed your reaction too AB 👍🏻🥰‼️

[@garylangley4502]

Fever was first recorded by a 19 year old R&B singer, Little Willie John. His version is definitely R&B, and hit #1 on the R&B charts. In 1958 Peggy Lee recorded the song and it shot up to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her version is more Jazz than Little Willie John's. She also changed some of the lyrics. Many other artists have recorded it over the years. One of my favorites is from 1965 by the Mc Coys. They had a #1 song with Hang on Sloopy. They changed the music of Hang on Sloopy some, and sang Fever to it. It turned out great and did fairly well on the charts. I'm 70 years old now and I love it when people hear songs that I remember from long ago and they enjoy it too. Thanks

[@kerryknight228]

She was a class act.

[@sandirobinson6966]

Pure class and blazing talent. She REALLY knew how to sell a song.

[@sylvanaire]

I don’t know if today’s kids watch classic Disney movies but Peggy Lee has a song in Lady and the Tramp called, He’s a Tramp (but I love him) if you want to check that out.😊

[@mamaasaiz]

same movie... didn't she also do the Siamese Cat song?

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

@@mamaasaiz Yes, I believe she did.

[@dionysiacosmos]

So glad you found her! The studio version will go right on your playlist!!🧓🎭💖

[@ltodd79]

The one and only Peggy Lee. My old father practically swooned at the mention of her name!

[@rbailey3309]

Loved Ms. Peggy!!! She was the hot girl of her day, not to mention when she first started out! She performed with the likes of Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford.) My favorite Peggy Lee song is "Nice work if you can get it."

[@germankitty]

Very iconic riff; that baseline is unforgettable. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@minimasuo]

Lee wrote a lot of the lyrics to this song, but never copyrighted them, probably because the "fever! when you hold me"... etc. part was the original writer's lyric. Her lyrics are so clever. She wrote other songs as well. A wonderful jazz singer who wasn't afraid to adapt to changing times.

[@BOOMNERD51]

She was one of my Dad's favorites! ❤ I forgot "be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade." Cool" 😎

[@revaflowers3115]

There are earlier versions of her singing this song when her voice was at its peak that are much more dynamic.

[@rlbkc9963]

One of her early ones, I have to listen to when I'm in a Peggy mood is "Why Don't You Do Right?" She has such a compelling vibe.

[@talltulip]

My dad was a professional drummer and bandleader from the early 40s through the early 60s. That was the "big band/swing" era. Fever was his favorite song to play as a drummer. This particular version seems to be at a bit faster tempo than usual, IMO. But even so, if you pay attention to what the dtummer is doing, you'll understand why my dad said it was so much fun.

[@dsusan17]

She is a legend! Great reaction

[@NighthawkMeow]

Fever is a sexy classic. Many legends have sung it. You should check them out, too!

[@mitcht2717]

Great reaction! Now treat yourself and us and watch Billie Eilish doing a cover of this at the Hollywood Bowl on July 27, 2022 Its on this channel: SoCalLiveitLive (July 28) "Billie Eillsh Fever"; also that same night she performed with Debbie Harry of BLONDIE fame ( "Heart of Glass") - together they sang PEGGY LEE'S "Is that all three is?" Great to see a superstar from the 1970s & 80's sing with a young star from today and see them enjoy one another's company. As far as "FEVER" goes Peggy Lee is unbeatable. Peggy also sang "Is That All There is"; "Why don't you do right?" and "Manana" and others. P.S. I'm 70 and a Billie Fan - because I knew that Billie was doing a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee I visited the Peggy Lee Museum at the MIdland Continental Depot in Wimbledon, ND - 190 miles SE of me [I'm in Northern Minnesota right by the Canadian Border] - quite an experience; Peggy Lee's father managed the depot; his 2nd wife, Peggy's stepmother severely abused her and she escaped out of the 2nd story window - a small town North Dakota girl who became a superstar singing with Frank Sinatra and other big names.

[@betty481]

Loved her music ❤❤❤

[@mssuziquzi]

Miss Peggy Lee, sublime.❤

[@terriertz5134]

Iconic singer, iconic song.

[@JaneSmith-p8w]

This is a bit faster than many times I have heard her sing this. Huge hit. Pretty lady, too.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Peggy had it.

[@racheotes]

Wonderful performance! You should watch Elvis perform this song during the Aloha from Hawaii Concert in 1973 to see the male interpretation.

[@franchk8372]

Peggy Lee ... wow, what a song and what a voice to sing it. So cool. It's like she invented cool. 😎🍷🍷🕊☮

[@hazelanglin5907]

Yes I've heard of her. She's a great singer

[@janetsilverhawk7204]

Always loved Peggy Lee

[@leaanndye3109]

There was a huge time before auto-tune was invented and finding these pure voices was a race. Her’s was iconic and she could sing anything and you’d know it was her and it would be amazing.

[@sistersilversmith5068]

Love ❤this song 🎶 by Peggy ‼️😊

[@woodiicycad]

Is That All There Is? By Peggy Lee is one of those songs that make you go hmmm

[@mapegatkinson92]

She also sang the siamese cats song in Lady and the Tramp by Disney in the 50s.

[@cindyphifer970]

There is a video of Elvis covering this song. A lot of people have covered this song

[@barbbeliveau-b9l]

This song is fire!

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥😍my brother crushed on her!

[@suzannezethner8180]

❤❤❤❤ Love this song. ELVIS does a version of this song too. Fun. 😊

[@sonaleesegoviano]

Would love to see your reaction to Sir Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson, It's A Man's World or Never Loved a Man.

[@MichaelYoder-e8g]

Peggy Lee is a geat diva! You'd like "Is That All There Is?"

[@79mib]

There is an amazing version of this song by Rita Moreno on the Muppet show

[@ratmirmajor]

Hello! My name is Ratmir, I am from Kazakhstan. I am glad that you like our diamond Dimash. I would like to see a reaction to the Japanese genius composer Hiroyuki Sawano. Video Hiroyuki Sawano / Project "Attack on Titan". He writes music himself. You will find there both gorgeous vocalists and gorgeous performance of talents on different instruments and all this live "Live performance". I will wait for the reaction. I am sure you will gain a lot of views and a new audience on such a reaction.

[@xxprettylittlethings]

this woman has so many classics it's not even funny. I listen to Black Coffee on the REGULAR.

[@spoodlew]

Look up Yes Indeed, on Ed Sullivan, it's Peggy and the Righteous Brothers .

[@janetphillips2152]

Legend

[@DoxGR7934]

For a similar classic, check out 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

[@uptownjay]

Soooo many songs!

[@loisrogers9042]

This performance is a faster than her original recording. Original more seductive 😊

[@CherylHughes-ts9jz]

She's got a great song called, Do Right ‼️🌹❣️🌹

Check out "Big Spender"

[@JuandeFucaU]

when you stopped the song the second time around and said, "I can't do it no more" I thought to myself...................... "is that all there is?"

[@Cheryl-o4k]

Love this song

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@itsakittyting]

Madonna covered this song on her album Erotica, did you know?

[@juliewhite7469]

Eva Cassidy did a fantastic cover of this song too ❤

[@sherrera66]

I like Peggy Lee she has a lot of great classics but for me Elvis’ sexy interpretation of Fever at the Aloha concert gives me Fever 🥵🤣. I saw it in 73 and to this day still rises this girls Fever omg. Dang gotta go drink some ice water now 🤣🤣 TCB⚡️

[@jimbro5223]

A great performance by a talented singer with only a drummer and bass to accompany her. And today's singers?

[@sparrowcottage-mypeitinyho2716]

you crack me up each and every time. Haha. Listen to "He's a Tramp".

[@pohjiebarbosa]

You rock my world

[@fkd1963]

Diva. Best friends with Lena Horne and Quincy Jones.

[@Mftjan2000]

oh yes....wonderful history lesson too

[@mandysmith1756]

There's cool and there's hot and this is both.

[@RitaGonzales-el1un]

❤

[@barbarapatterson9288]

Yes heard of her. Way b4 your time

[@deltonkillen8024]

I always thought Ms. Lee was so hot and provocative. My Mom didn't care for her much.

[@janetf23]

🔥❣

[@KajunMoo70]

As great as the original by Peggy Lee is, you just gotta react to LeAnn Rimes’ smoky 🔥🔥performance of Fever performed at the Grand Ole Opry’s salute to Ray Charles on January 3, 2020! Thanks so much❤️. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooa0lH2Po76Vl6Msi=nIQzoqIL7QeqqG7W

[@Taekookland1205]

i really love your reaction videos💌💌 ....please react to D.O's "Rewrite the stars" and "love wins" cover songs 💌💌💌💌

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

You should check out Elvis' version of this song for some serious sizzle. It is incomparable. ❤❤❤

[@promiscuous675]

Thank you.

[@jamescronan7220]

Is That All There Is? "is that all there is then let's keep dancing, let's break out the booze and have a ball."

[@tchampagne1494]

This is not the best version; the tempo is much faster than the original recording. Check out the studio version, very sultry.

[@maggynewtown3500]

The studio version was slower and much more seductive.

[@markbarnwell942]

i have said this now a few times would there be a Lana DelRay without Peggy Lee.? The influence seems so strong. Both are their own unique artist not shading Lana.

[@pennyyoung3166]

Elvis sings this great song

[@juliewhite7469]

So does Eva Cassidy 🔥 ❤

[@reemitchell6528]

Elvis coverd this wow

[@Kathryne0816]

Elvis did an iconic cover of this in the Aloha concert. Screaming women everywhere.

[@kaybear1972]

I think you like Peggy. What do you think?😂😂😂

[@dianaelliott3436]

Elvis did this better!

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

Absolutely!!❤❤❤

[@theresagallagher9161]

No he didn't

[@deborahcornell171]

Elvis had a lot of fun doing this one on his "Aloha From Hawaii" TV special. So did the audience, both in Hawaii & the millions glued to their tv screens all around the world.🤩 You should check it out for us! You'd get a kick out of it. 🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵
