I Wanted To Make A Jazz Record.

I Don't Think I Was Considered To Be A Cabaret Singer Because I Didn't Have Patter That Was Written.

There Was A Subtlety About Peggy Lee. It Was Powerful. There Was A Valuable Use Of Space. Everything Was Not Cluttered. Her Voice Was Out Front And Was The Key Instrument.

I Was Kind Of Known As A Ballad Singer. People Would Send Ballads. Some Of Them Would Go Over My Shoulder And Float Off The Top Of My Head, And I Just Didn't Feel Anything. Then I Would Hear A Song That Would Absolutely Shake Me.

I Say What's In My Heart, And I Do It In My Concerts.

Jazz Radio Is Not Very Friendly To Pop Singers Who Decide To Make A Jazz Record. But A Lot Of People Have Been. A Lot Of The People I've Talked To Like The Record.
