A really well presented version of Peggy Lee music. Though i have backed up this CD, it is still a keeper. I can only say i was blessed to being a young person when these songs were the POP music.

Cheap packaging.

Samuel Chell | Kenosha,, WI United States | 02/20/2002

"This compilation of Peggy Lee hits has the look and feel of a generic, quickly-assembled collection of readily available commercial material aimed at the mass market. Maybe it was advertized on one of those cable television infomercials, or manufactured for the impulse purchasers at Walmart and truck stops. In any case, genuine Peggy Lee fans and close followers of her career will want a remastered, intelligently edited collection that provides information about the original recordings, their labels, and dates of release."

Old-fashioned fun!

"Okay, so these songs go against every feminist sensibility I have. Okay, so "Manana" does not fit into today's P.C. world. Okay, so Peggy Lee is not the hippest chick around. Then again... This album is a blast! Forget the fact that this is the music your mom and dad used to listen to. The retro sound is hip and there's nothing like "Fever" to put you and your honey in the mood for some romance! And if you liked P.J. Harvey's version of "Is That All There Is," you'll love the original Peggy Lee sound of it (who knew people back then could be so morose?). And remember the ad for Enjoli perfume? ("I can bring home the bacon...") Well, Peggy Lee's "I'm a Woman" may not be so broad-minded, but it's still quite sultry. This album is a must for any well-rounded CD collection."

First Introduction But It's Good

William M. Rand | Washington, DC | 01/19/2000

"I've never listened to much Peggy Lee before, but in an attempt to get to know some of the traditional pop singers better, I selected this album. I am really quite impressed. The song "Is that all there is" is a great song, and so many more of the songs are really good. Her voice is excellent, and reminds every now and then of even Billie Holiday."

A great way to introduce yourself to Peggy Lee

Daniel Berger | Atlanta, GA USA | 02/23/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"That a best hits album with only 11 songs could do such a good job capturing an alltime great performer is unlikely, but this one turns the trick.

This one includes two songs Lee wrote herself, including "It's a Good Day" - a good enough song to lead the album with - and "Manana", which is unPC by today's standards but considered amusing in the 1950s.

And it covers songs identifieid with her, including the haunting "Is That All There Is", "Fever" and "I'm a Woman."

Her South-of-the-Border-tinged rendition of "Heart", from the musical "Damn Yankees", is distinctive. "Alright, Okay, You Win" has a driving rhythm to it. "My Man", with its dark, old-timey wah-wahing trumpets, actually sells the idea that she loves a guy despite his beating and running around on her. "Why Don't You Do Right" calls a lazy, weak man to better behavior. "Hallelujah, I Love Him So" is a great upbeat song, as is "I Enjoy Being a Girl", which finishes the album. Lee's song choices here speak to a different era of relations between the sexes and that's part of their appeal; they draw vivid pictures of another time and place. She delivers each with her unique punch and verve.

Really, there isn't a bad song on this album and each one is distinctive; none seems to cover ground touched by another. Lee's voice is fresh and light and her working around the rhythm is confident and skillful. I sometimes buy this album as a gift for others. It's a great way to introduce yourself to Peggy Lee.
