LOST SONGS: Just In Time, Peggy Lee

_

Nelson Riddle arranged this silky take for Peggy Lee in 1959, a major pop star now virtually forgotten.

An amazing series of Lee photos are shown above, at least two familiar from her Toronto  Imperial Room stops, back when that Royal York supperclub was on the cabaret circuit. 

Peggy, Lena, Tony, Chita all played the boite.

Somewhere, maitre'd Louis Janetta is yelling at Gino Empry. It warms the heart.

 Song:  Julie Styne, Comden & Green, from Bells Are Ringing
