Tributes poured in across social media on May 26, 2020 in celebration of #PeggyLee100 — the hundredth anniversary of Peggy’s birth. Here are just a few of them, along with links to some musical tributes by a variety of performers inspired by Peggy’s singing and songwriting.

Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello<\/strong> posted a lengthy appreciation<\/a> of Peggy on Facebook, observing that “Peggy Lee was always utterly herself at the microphone and therefore much less ill-at-ease when singing newer song styles that came along. You won’t hear any of those ill-fitting paisley shirt songs in her catalogue.” He ended by saying, “I hope we don’t have to wait another hundred years for a singer of such intimacy and beauty of tone to emerge. Thank heaven we have the voice of Miss Peggy Lee, forever.”<\/p>\n

In an Instagram video<\/a> singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright<\/strong> revealed that “my favorite singer is actually Peggy Lee. She’s the one who I have always admired most in terms of her technique and her artistry and her fascinating delivery of a song.”<\/p>\n

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, librettist and screenwriter Doug Wright<\/strong> wrote<\/a>: “Perhaps more than any other musical artist, Peggy Lee created a soundtrack for the entire nation. She captured the exuberance of the post-war 1940’s (‘It’s a Good Day’), the hot-blooded sensuality that lurked beneath the buttoned-down 1950’s (‘Fever’), the changing social mores of the 1960’s (‘I’m a Woman’), and presaged the rising discontent of the 1970’s (‘Is That All There Is?’). For thirty more years after that, she continued to make the kind of music that enters the collective consciousness, and never leaves. In her songs, she seamlessly captures the human experience.”<\/p>\n
