It's not as simple as not listening to music that is shoved down your throats, which is why people are complaining (there's no escape to it). I mean I wouldn't mind to see another artist do songs like this and older hits for music today, it's just that not many take the time to look into being creatively different. If one leads, then one will follow, and that's how good music started to decline (people care for the characteristic/look of the artist rather than their quality of music).
Check out the very different version of the same song with a twist by The Cramps. It's something how artists can go in different directions with a medium or even with a song.
@20courtplaza The drummer did not miss the two top toms, he plucked them in stead of hitting them to get a different sound. Do you know how famous a drummer Jack Sperling was?
Only three performers. But they get a good sound. All three are very professional. You can tell that they are working for a living. Not like performers today that thinks the world owes them a living.
She comes up there and puts the microphone in the stand. I don't remember any singer doing this. They usually hold the microphone like it's a phallic substitute, and put it right against their mouth.
At times, on television broadcasts, you might see a microphone hanging on a boom from above. That's really the microphone that being used. You notice that when she puts the microphone in the stand that there is no rubbing noise. So the mike was dead, at least then.
@FirstClassSkeptic I'd always thought the amplification was so strong that the mike would howl on its own if it were allowed to hear the amplified sound. A person with a real voice, in a venue that's a bit more civilized, can use a more distant microphone. There are some small theatres (about 200 seats) so well built that a singer with no very great voice (myself) can be heard all over, without amplification.
Am I the only one who's hella sick of seeing bitching about Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber as top comments on a classy tune like this? If you don't like someone else's music, don't listen to it! It's existence isn't gonna make the music you like any less great!
@SputnikMonkey I agree with the notion that bitching online doesn't help things. But the trashy music's existence drowns out the genuine artists. With more trash on the radio, there's less time for artists/songs with class. ;_;
another great unique singer/ only one Peggy Lee/ the great jazz singer/ even if you happen to be someone who doesnt care for Jazz/ Peggy will make you fall in love with Jazz/ ive watched her younger version of fever and its good for sure / nut this is the best version when shes alittle older/ the one i remember as well/ it is true for all singers as they get older their voice matures like a fine wine. becomes better with time / it seasoned / deeper voice/ only one Peggy Lee No immitations
@fortuna068 you're nuts. You wouldn't know a good song if it slapped you in the face. It's okay. You're young. You have plenty of time to develop some class and taste.
theres no other version that is as good as this . i llove this song so much! to bad we dont have singers who can sing so smooth and sensual like this with simple music.
@DexStanT yes it does, lol aww and ur only 16 i would have never thought, that is really rare lol and because im 19 too that is so crazy lol, im latisha nice too meet u my new friend lol
hey haha another funny comment.. I've love this music forever and others... i saw Ratdog play this with some black female vocalist@ a further show...98 I think?
I like doing this song at karaoke...its slow, sassy & fun; plus its got a nice beat, such a classic too. Many different artist's have covered this song...which shows/proves how good it is. Also, it makes you want to move...or at the least, snap along to the beat...enjoy.
@Seeting No trouble at all -- when she looks up or into the distance, that's part of the way in which she usually sang the song. Those looks are meant to suggest defiance, sensuality, etc. :)
its just so cool.The bass leads the sound and makes the key change in the most simple way... just ooozes cool along with peggy lees dead pan attitude.
Drums, a double bass, and Peggy Lee. No snythethizers, certainly no voice augmentation. Quite simply, class, which we never really see these days-musical or otherwise.
@petclark1 I love that you point that out -- if you listen to the studio recording, in the studio they would have had MAYBE five tracks although the finger snaps and percussion overdubs may have been on the same track... so there would have been Bass, Vocal (no double tracks for Peggy), and Percussion (snaps and occasional percussion overdub of handdrum or bass drum) and THAT'S IT folks. AMAZINGLY classy.
@toresbe Funny, but I don't remember saying anything about the finger snapping. Try to find fault with this exquisite performance if you must-but please leave me out of it...tonight, I'm too busy listening to some of Miss Lee's Lp's from the 60's and feel like I've gone to heaven.
the drummer, jack sperling, played with les brown's band for years, then he just freelanced, playing pretty well wherever he wanted, he was born in new orleans, and like all new orleans drummers, he had a natural built in sense of rythmn and time. ray bauduc was also another new orleans native son.
Peggy Lee had a big Hit with this in 1958 when it was on the charts for 15 weeks. This video is from the late 60's but not the song. Little Willie John recorded it in 1956. Great Find and great post! Thanks!

"The Killer Diller" A challenge to watch. Peggy's smokin' hot, then your peepers fall on Sperling tappin' those skins. I can't stay focused, ha. Really, this is Peggy's song. There should be a law against anybody else tryin' to sing it.
Boy, all the others try too hard on this one. Except for Madonnoa who seemed not to have a clue. I just recall she dressed up like the Statue of Liberty in the Fever video.
She speeded this song up as years passed, as is the case here. It's too fast. Maybe just to get through it. It might have been burdonsome to her, a performer and writer of enormous creativity, to have to do the same song over, over, over again.
@digitalportugal Thanks, though sadly I am sure he will be missed by many. Do you know who else he might have performed with? I'm guessing he was from the elite big band scene (50's?) because this looks like a piece of cake for him.
@owlcu I had the pleasure of working with Jack a few times. In addition to the Tonight Show, Ella, and too many other big names to list, he's heard to great advantage on a lot of the Pete Fountain recordings.
@starfish948 Your dad was and is one of my favorite drummers, and one of the most unsung drummers. His session work with Henry Mancini and others was the epitome of taste
