“Miss Lee, svelte and glamorous in a white gown, warbled her trademarks… That blues are Miss Lee’s forte was aptly shown in a medley which had her throatily chirping such standards as ‘Basin Street Blues’ and ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’.” – Variety,<\/i> 3\/16\/60<\/p>\n

General Electric Theater: So Deadly, So Evil
\n<\/strong>3\/13\/60, CBS, w\/ Ronald Reagan, Gavin MacLeod, Robert Hopkins, Terry Loomis, Michael Granger, Les Green<\/p>\n

“Song stylist Peggy Lee stars in a straight dramatic role, as a small town girl who comes to New York to forget a recent tragedy, only to have her own life threatened by a masked stranger, in So Deadly, So Evil<\/i> on the General Electric Theater.<\/i> Ronald Reagan, who is regularly seen as host of the series, co-stars in the drama. Miss Lee plays Natalia Cory, a beautiful, efficient but troubled copywriter in a New York department store. She is cold to the efforts of her co-workers to be friendly, mainly because of an accident in her home town which took the life of her brother. Allan Richards (Reagan), a rival copywriter, persists in his attempts at friendship, and when Natalia gets anonymous telephone calls, recalling her former troubles, she enlists Richards’ help. The story reaches an exciting climax when a masked stranger breaks into her apartment and threatens her life.” – CBS press release, 12\/26\/60<\/p>\n

“Peggy Lee, who recently wound up a smash engagement at Basin Street East, got the biggest layout of time and made the most of it. As in her Basin Street East engagement, she got nifty keyboard support from Joe Harnell.” – Variety,<\/i> 4\/13\/60<\/p>\n

Revlon Presents: 76 Men and Peggy Lee
\n<\/strong>4\/14\/60, CBS, w\/ Mel Torm\u00e9, the Chad Mitchell Trio, the Yale Glee Club, the Vagabonds
\nSongs included: I Like Men \/ Ma\u00f1ana \/ Alright, Okay, You Win (w\/ Torm\u00e9)<\/p>\n

“Consistent with her manner of singing, Peggy Lee’s special for Revlon last Thursday was tasteful, artistic and handsomely restrained. The latter quality was particularly refreshing for a video musicale. It would have been an altogether distinguished affair had there been one standout solo by the star and had the comedy relief been classier than what the Vagabonds provided… It made for a smooth and swift 60 minutes of television. Even the intros were done in song, with special lyrics to standard tunes, eliminating the stilted and usually lackluster talk between numbers that characterizes the conventional music-variety offering. Miss Lee spoke only once, and very briefly, at the windup. She had a good opener in ‘I Like Men’ and soloed a second time with a solid medley, but otherwise she chirped only the quickie intros and a duet with Mel Torme… An encore for Miss Lee, and her style of show, is indicated.” – Variety,<\/i> 4\/20\/60<\/p>\n

“A collegiate-styled production number with Peggy parading stage center proved that she is not now, and probably never will be, the ‘Betty Co-ed’ type. Peggy is the Peggy Lee type. A highly individual variety: a silky voice softening that pulsing swing, her eyes fixed not at the audience or camera, but riveted on some faraway star, a performer whose offbeat sultriness lies in the fact that physically and vocally she sizzles while simultaneously projecting a mental aloofness — like she’s chewing gum while some guy is trying to kiss her. In any case, she never looked or sang better… She should have her own steady show.” — Atra Baer, New York Journal-American,<\/i> 4\/15\/60<\/p>\n

\nSongs included: I Love Being Here with You \/ Moments Like This \/ Fever \/ Mary Ellen (w\/ David Kossoff) \/ Till There Was You \/ Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) \/ All the Way<\/p>\n

“The show was built around Peggy Lee, quite an edifice in herself, and its chief guest was Bing Crosby who’d groaned his way over from the local movie studios where he’s making another ‘Road’ picture with Bob Hope. It was Peggy Lee’s first outing on British TV, and she scored with a relaxed and polished selection of standards, sprinkled with the odd novelty… The show provided an adequate showcase for the artistry of Peggy Lee, who filled out a lack of imagination in its conception.” – Variety,<\/i> 9\/6\/61<\/p>\n

Happy with the Blues
\n<\/strong>9\/24\/61, NBC, w\/ Vic Damone, LaVern Baker, Joanie Sommers, Bing Crosby and Harold Arlen

A 60-minute taped answer is offered by Peggy Lee, Vic Damone, Joanie Sommers and Paul Weston’s orchestra. Bing Crosby narrates films tracing Arlen’s songwriting career.” – TV Guide,<\/i> 9\/23\/61<\/p>\n

\nSongs included: Day In, Day Out \/ Dearie, Do You Remember? (w\/ Jo Stafford) \/ Why Don’t You Do Right?<\/p>\n

“Peggy Lee’s own act was the show’s high-spot, and tended to show the chief fault in Miss Stafford’s delivery, which was lack of bite. Miss Lee’s ‘Day In’ and a darling ballad taken at slow-walking pace showed her versatility at its peak.” – Variety,<\/i> 8\/14\/63<\/p>\n

The Jerry Lewis Show<\/strong>
\n10\/26\/63, ABC, w\/ Robert Goulet, George Kirby, Lucho Navarro

\n<\/strong>3\/12\/65, NBC, w\/ Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Se\u00f1or Wences
\nSongs included: The Boy from Ipanema \/ Make Believe<\/p>\n

“Featured guest Peggy Lee gave a lift to what otherwise would have been a relatively routine Jack Paar outing on Friday’s NBC colorcast. For Miss Lee and her songs easily survived Paar’s quips and scored easily with a songbag that ranged from ‘Boy from Ipanema’ to a free interpretation of Jerome Kern’s ‘Make Believe’.” – Variety,<\/i> 3\/17\/65<\/p>\n

“Miss Lee, doing basically her club act, worked all alone throughout except for a segment of clown songs in which a male terp decorated the background in circus makeup. In her fine jazz-pop style, Miss Lee paced out a solid hour, swinging a set of her own compositions, a travel medley, her well-known standards and the clown turn, which included a touchingly effective ‘What Kind of Fool Am I?’ She is that gifted that she can take an hour out on a low, low key with proper dramatic projection.” – Variety,<\/i> 5\/25\/66<\/p>\n

“The phenomenon of Peggy Lee, who 30-odd years ago was singing with the bands of Will Osborne and Benny Goodman and today appeases the squares of Las Vegas as well as campus audiences, is portrayed in a 90-minute special tonight. The vocalist is seen in the labors of preparing a show and the giving a performance. Admirers of Miss Lee can only be delighted by the extensive samplings of her repertory; she is in the best of form and the viewer also learns something, though far from enough, about the individual herself… The viewer sees Miss Lee, a composer herself, searching for the right interpretation of lyrics, working on her phrasing and seeking to preserve the overall mood of her choosing. The comparison with the early trials and the final results are a reminder that, be it jazz or classical music, the sheer physical toll of achieving a desired end is central to the act of creativity… For Miss Lee’s fans, it was a TV banquet.” – Jack Gould, New York Times,<\/i> 10\/15\/69<\/p>\n

“Two members of the royalty of song – Johnny Cash and Peggy Lee – brought distinction to the Music Hall<\/i> last night. Johnny Cash, king of country music, and Peggy Lee, queen of pop, jazz and sad, sweet ditties of heartbreak, gave pleasure to millions of fans… Young Browning Bryant and Cash’s own group were excellent; but it was, after all, Johnny and Peggy’s show. The latter, as always, put over her numbers in her familiar impeccable style, which is a merger of deep emotion and the restraint of good taste. Outstanding were their medley of “love and loneliness” songs… Here was an hour of undiluted Americana, and I wish that a recording had been made of it.” – Ben Gross, New York Daily News,<\/i> 10\/69<\/p>\n
