Peggy Lee, born Norma Egstrom on May 26, 1920 in North Dakota. This singer-composer whose smoky, insinuating voice in such songs as "Is That All There Is?" and "Fever" made her a jazz and pop legend.  Her vocal flexibility and cool, breathy voice brought sultry distinction to big band showstoppers, pop ballads and soulful laments.  Pictured here in 1956.
