"This box set is not easy to find ... buy it NOW! C'Est Magnifique covers many years of Peggy's incredible career. From the 60's with "There's Always Something There To Remind Me" back to the late 40's with "Cannonball Express" (this is a very rare track and one of my favorite Peggy recordings ... it really JUMPS!). Then you have all the Peggy Hits: "Fever", "Manana" (which she wrote), "Big Spender" and "I'm A Woman". Some other highlights include: "Bewitched" (yes the classic TV show theme has lyrics!). Then there's "I'm Gonna Go Fishin'" with lyrics by Peggy and music by Duke Ellington ... this coming June Peggy will be inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame with a special mention for this song! Finally there are many Love-Lee ballads ... "As Time Goes By" and "Days of Wine and Roses" are truly beautiful (produced and arranged by Quincy Jones).***** A good start for your Peggy CD collection!Sincere-Lee,Robert StromTHE PEGGY LEE FAN CLUB 744 COLLIER DRIVE SAN LEANDRO, CA 94577"
