Peggy Lee

What draws me to Peggy Lee is the power of her restraint. Emerging from Benny Goodman's band and singing for seven decades, she built a sophisticated persona on the idea that a whisper can be more electric than a belt. That cool, knowing sensuality is genuinely one of a kind. A Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and a Walk of Fame star confirm her stature, but they undersell her range: she wrote songs and acted too. A girl from small-town North Dakota who came to embody urban elegance, that transformation alone earns my applause.
