“The Peggy Lee Legacy" returns to Davenport's Piano Bar for a swingin' night of great music on Sat Oct 6 at 8pm. Enjoy all the hits spanning the lifetime of one of the greatest jazz vocalists and singer-songwriters of the 20th century, Miss Peggy Lee. Often referred to as the female Frank Sinatra and holding the title as longest reigning female recording artist at Capitol Records from the 1940s-1960's, Miss Lee had a staggering 6 decade career spanning from her early discovery in Chicago by "The King of Swing" Benny Goodman (raised on Maxwell Street!) to her hit songwriting skills most notably for Disney’s “Lady & the Tramp” to critically acclaimed acting/singing roles in “Pete Kelly’s Blues” and “The Jazz Singer.” Songs include (many of which she co-wrote with Dave Barbour, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Victor Young, Cy Coleman, and others): "Why Don't You Do Right?," "I Don't Know Enough About You," "Big Spender," "Black Coffee," "Manana," "He's a Tramp," "Siamese Cat Song," "Bella Note," "Don't Smoke in Bed," "I'm a Woman," "I Like Men," "It's a Good Day," "Is That All There Is?," "Fever," and many more!
