Peggy Lee was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in 1920, her name changed at the age of 17 by a local radio personality who agreed to put her on air for his radio show in her home town in North Dakota.
At the age of 19 she could be found singing in a club in Palm Springs and it was here she developed her sultry purr vocal. When she discovered it was impossible to sing over the general noise of the club, she adapted her voice to sing under the noise, the crowd gradually quietening when they realised they couldn't hear her, eventually falling silent, forced to acknowledge her style and delivery. 'I knew how to reach my audience - softly, with feeling' she later said.
Here she is with a silky smooth Christmas standard that has you reaching for some flavoured cream to go with your Heston Pear and Fig Mince Pie.
