Born in an era and working in an industry where women struggled for equality, she was a brave innovator who took risks when it was impermissible to do so. What she accomplished \u2014 both as a woman and a musician \u2014 is nothing short of extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From her abusive childhood in North Dakota, touring with Benny Goodman, her tumultuous marriages and frequent battles with illness, to a prized Oscar nomination and working with friends Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Quincy Jones, and others, Peggy tells her story with the honesty, unique style, and eloquence inherent in her music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woven throughout the book are stories about her hit songs, including \u201cWhy Don\u2019t You Do Right?,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a Good Day,\u201d \u201cFever,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a Woman,\u201d the score for Walt Disney\u2019s <em>Lady and the Tramp<\/em>, and the Grammy award-winning \u201cIs That All There Is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Included in the 2022 reissue of <em>Miss Peggy Lee: An Autobiography<\/em> is Peggy\u2019s never-before-released book of poetry, So<em>ftly With Feeling<\/em>, a comprehensive discography and recommended listening section by archivist Iv\u00e1n Santiago, and an epilogue by music historian and jazz critic Will Friedwald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a foreword by Peggy\u2019s granddaughter, Holly Foster Wells, <em>Miss Peggy Lee<\/em> reads like an intimate journal, a poignant and honest autobiography.
