Fever: The music of Peggy Lee, almost doesn't require a review. How could you go wrong with a PBS show about this music legend? As long as there. are plenty of songs, you can't! This is more of an appreciation than a biography. Mostly all is 100% positive. Ms Lee did want an escape from her childhood, and there were the failed marriages, but that's not dwelled upon. At first there are a few song excerpts, but soon we get them in their entirety. And what a selection, many of which she wrote herself. We get some behind the scenes footage, some home videos, interviews and duets. Yom may hear some songs you've never come across before. Have you ever heard Andy Williams sing jazz? He + PL sing a jazz duet. Ever here the doodle song? She & Bing sing it! A Judy Garland duet too! There's something for everyone.
If you didn't know what a great singer this Norwegian-Swedish woman was, you will after watching this. There is also a 2020 edition of Fever, but it isn't expanded that much.
