"A book on Peggy Lee? It's high time!"-Elaine Stritch "Peter Richmond's lovely and big-hearted biography of Peggy Lee is not only chockfull of fascinating jazz stories, it is scintillatingly insightful about the fate and destiny of a small-town girl and the dreams that came true to claim her."-Wil Haygood, author of In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis Jr. "At long last there's a full-length biography of one of American music's most crucial cultural icons. I learned a lot I didn't know about Peggy Lee in this well-researched volume, and I am certain that anybody who cares about this great singer, or about American music in general, will find it essential reading."-Will Friedwald, author of Sinatra! The Song is You: A Singer's Art, Feveris " a very engaging book presented with as much style and aplomb as Lee delivered in her many classic songs. The legendary Ellington, with whom Lee wrote the delightful ''I'm Gonna Go Fishin'," once said, ''If I'm the Duke, man, Peggy Lee is Queen." With ''Fever," she finally gets an elegantly written biography fit for royalty." Â--Boston Globe InFever, Richmond "manages both candor and respect. This is the rare bio of a golden-age entertainer that doesn't skimp on scandal but is quadruply concerned with conveying musical brilliance. You won't be left asking, "Is that all there is?" A-" Â--Entertainment Weekly Â"Affectionate, readable biography . . . Richmond writes smoothly and researches diligently . . . For those who only know Peggy Lee as the voice behind the Siamese cats in Disney'sLady and the Tramp, Richmond's biography is a gorgeous, eye-opening corrective.Feveris a perfect title for music lovers this spring.Â"Â--Cleveland Plain Dealer Â"American popular culture is filled with people who claim to have reinvented themselves. North Dakota's Norma Egstrom puts most such claimants to shame. She invented Peggy Lee with Dickensian precision, not to mention a voice that could cool down a volcano. In this definitive biography, Peter Richmond honors her story with equal precision, and with a generosity and insight that had me cheering her onward, every step of the way.Â"Â--Gary Giddins, author ofNatural SelectionandBing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams Â"A book on Peggy Lee?
