Peggy Lee got her start as the singer in Benny Goodman’s Orchestra, and went on to record dozens of hits in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Many of these hits she had a hand in writing, including songs like ‘It’s a Good Day,’ ‘I Love Being Here with You,’ and ‘Fever.’ Join us for an exploration of Peggy Lee, the singer-songwriter.” [Source: Afterglow, Indiana Public Media]
