This never happened again, but since January the same voice has helped sell more than a million copies of Miss Lee\u2019s most popular recording, &#8220;Ma\u00f1ana.&#8221; This is a double source of pride to Miss Lee because with her husband, guitarist Dave Barbour, she also wrote the tune.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now 27 years old, Miss Lee is one of the busiest popular singers in the U.S. Besides collaborating with Barbour on other hit tunes like &#8220;It\u2019s a Good Day&#8221; and the score for an animated puppet film, she appears with her husband in nightclubs and theaters and is featured on Jimmy Durante\u2019s radio show. Between times Miss Lee sees as much as she possibly can of her 4-year-old daughter Nicki. When she cannot, Nicki plays herself to sleep with one of her mother\u2019s records.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Captions accompanying photos:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Singer Peggy Lee leans on a stack of records of her hit tune &#8220;Ma\u00f1ana.&#8221; This record alone should bring in $75,000 in royalties in 1948.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022With Jimmy Durante on his radio show, Peggy Lee sings a torchy ballad. Remarks Jimmy, &#8220;If I\u2019m going to sleep, here is the girl I\u2019ll dream about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 With husband in Ciro\u2019s nightclub in Los Angeles, Peggy sings &#8220;Trouble Is a Man.&#8221; One woman went to the club nightly for three weeks to cry over the song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Puppets are characters in the movie <em>Tom Thumb<\/em>, for which Peggy and her husband are composing all the music and lyrics. Peggy also sings in the film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Peggy putters with primroses in the garden on Hollywood Hills home while her husband works on a song. Collie is an adopted stray named Banjo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Peggy coaches her 4-year-old daughter Nicki, playing in a family ping-pong match. The child inspired a song written by her father called &#8220;Forever Nicki.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Nicki\u2019s goodnight kiss lands on mother\u2019s nose. She is usually sung to sleep with Miss Lee\u2019s favorite lullaby, a tune called &#8220;Soliloquy&#8221; from <em>Carousel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(author unknown) Six years ago in a New York theater, the sultry singing voice of Peggy Lee proved so irresistible to an impressionable male listener that he clambered over the orchestra pit and chased her all around the stage.
