Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra

Johnnie and David go back to the mid 1950s for two absolute classic long players from Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee - Black Coffee and In The Wee Small Hours.

Johnnie and David go back to the mid 1950s for two absolute classic long players from Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee - linked through their friendship and the fact that Black Coffee and In The Wee Small Hours were both early concept albums.

Peggy and Frank had worked with famous band leaders and this was the era when songs were becoming more popular than dance tunes. Both these albums brought singers to the fore and made people (and the music industry) take them more seriously. There was also a different attitude towards female and male torch songs.

As David says Peggy had the pulse of the blues through her work and became known to most people because of her work on Fever and the Walt Disney classic Lady And The Tramp.

They enjoy great 成人论坛 archive from Peggy, her biographer Peter Richmond, granddaughter Holly Foster Wells and also Frank, Buddy Greco, Tony Bennett, Nelson Riddle and Paul Williams.

David talks about Frank's amazing ear and professionalism during live performances and studio recordings and tracks his moves in music and film to more adult, serious material.
