"Fever" was written by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport and originally recorded by Little Willie John in 1956. This recording became a #1 hit on the R&B charts and peaked at #24 on the pop charts during the summer of '56. A few years later the song was famously covered by Peggy Lee who added a few lyrics she wrote herself ("Romeo loved Juliet", "Captain Smith & Pocahontas") and the song went into the Top 10 becoming a signature song for Miss Lee.

@shatinterry Well, I'm not sure what you're asking, but the names were used by Peggy Lee in her version of "Fever".
Nocaro 6 months ago
@Nocaro Sorry, but Lenna Kuurmaas 'Fever' is much better than the versions by Peggy Lee and Little Willie.

@ufneuss Sorry, but don't you think that's a very SUBJECTIVE topic and not an OBJECTIVE one? I can assure that 100 years from today people will still be listening to Little Willie and Peggy sing this song.
