peggy lee - the best of miss peggy lee (1998)

"The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?"


PJ Harvey le hizo un cover a la existencial Is That All There Is? para la película Basquiat, así fue como empecé a escuchar a la estilosa Peggy Lee. Todo al revés, aunque nunca hubiese podido llegar a Peggy en el momento indicado, sus mejores canciones datan del 50' y 60'. Esta recopilación es bien shiny, pero igual hace pensar en una mujer desencantada en un bar disfrutando un manhattan.
