LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH 15, 2024 – Capitol Records and Universal
Music Enterprises (UMe), in conjunction with Peggy Lee Associates, announce the
release of Peggy Lee From the Vaults (Vol. 1), the first in a digital series
that collects Peggy Lee’s performances not yet available on streaming
platforms. With the launch of this series, her entire catalog of issued master
recordings from the Universal family of labels — Capitol, Decca, A&M, and
Polydor — will now be accessible via digital streaming.

Amid her national popularity as Benny Goodman’s big band
“canary” (1941-1943), Peggy Lee left the band to get married, and
she semi-retired to become a wife and mother. For almost two years, she juggled
domestic duties with a gradual return to music, signing with Capitol Records in
late 1944 when she was 24. Peggy Lee From the Vaults (Vol. 1) features 12 of her
earliest tracks recorded between 1944 and 1948 for Capitol Records, including
three songs written by Lee and her first husband, guitarist Dave Barbour:
“What More Can a Woman Do?,” “Don’t Be So Mean to
Baby,” and “Just an Old Love of Mine.” 

Drawing inspiration from being a newlywed and “feelings for David and our
life,” “What More Can a Woman Do? was the first Peggy Lee
composition ever recorded and one of the very first to be published. “I
was washing dishes and just sang out my love for him,” she reminisced in
Miss Peggy Lee, An Autobiography. Originally recorded in December 1944 in
Lee’s second session for Capitol Records, Lee and Barbour revisited the
song in 1950 in an early music video; watch here. Sarah Vaughan recorded the
song in 1945 (five months after Lee’s original recording), and it was the
title track from Big Maybelle’s 1962 album.

The Lee-Barbour composition “Don’t Be So Mean to Baby” was
recorded three times in 1946. The first version was exclusively for radio
airplay, commonly known as a Capitol transcription; the second version, planned
for commercial release by the label, went unreleased until 2008; and the third
version, included here, was originally released in 1948. The song was also later
recorded by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, featuring singer Al Hibbler, in
1947.

“Just an Old Love of Mine” is a melancholy Lee-Barbour composition
released by Capitol in 1947 as the B-side of a 78-rpm single. The song quickly
found favor amongst Lee’s peers, including Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Billy
Eckstine, Dorothy Lamour, Tommy Dorsey with singers Lucy Ann Polk and Stuart
Foster, and Shep Fields with singer Toni Arden.

Peggy Lee’s recording of “Everybody Loves Somebody” has been
featured on a multi-artist Capitol compilation release but has never been
available on a Peggy Lee digital album. Widely associated with Dean Martin, who
took the song to the top of the charts in 1964, Peggy Lee recorded it first in
1947, and Frank Sinatra was the first to release it in 1948.

Another noteworthy highlight is “Just a Shade on the Blue Side,”
enticingly phrased by Lee and imaginatively backed by a combo under
Barbour’s direction. Composed by the multi-talented master of American
song Hoagy Carmichael, this rarely covered song remains obscure to this day.
Dating back to the 1930s, the playfully coy “She Didn’t Say
Yes” was first heard in the 1931 Jerome Kern-Otto Harbach Broadway musical
The Cat and the Fiddle. Lee’s 1946 interpretation was originally included
on the album Jerome Kern’s Music, a Capitol Records tribute to the
composer, who passed away in late 1945.

Future volumes in the From the Vaults series will move chronologically from 1949
to 1972, Peggy Lee’s last year under contract with Capitol Records.
