Peggy Lee – Guitars A là Lee (1966)
2020 marked the centennial for Peggy Lee. Almost 20 years after her passing she has over 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and her often overlooked “Guitars A là Lee“, a loungy set featuring Peggy over a total of 7 guitars, is one we’ve been listening to. On a side note, according to online sources she is often cited as the inspiration for the Margarita cocktail. “In 1948, after a trip to Mexico, she and her husband ventured into the Balinese Room in Galveston, Texas. She requested a drink similar to one she had in Mexico, and the head bartender, Santos Cruz, created the Margarita, and named it after the Spanish version of Peggy’s name.” (source Wikipedia)
