NOTES:
General Comment About This Sessionography's Singles Indexes. The last of three indexes dedicated to listing Peggy Lee's singles, this page covers issues which came out on 45 only. All singles are listed chronologically by year of release. As for 45s whose date is unknown to me, they are relegated to the bottom of the page. If you are searching for a particular USA 45 and do not find it herein, consult the second index as well. (The second index concentrates on singles which came out on both 78 and 45 configurations, rather than just on 45.) Also, bear in mind that some so-called 45 singles are instead pieces of EPs which, with the passing of time, became detached from their cardboard cover. As a result, they end up being unwittingly listed as singles even in specialized magazines and at record auctions. In this index, I have tried to include only authentic 45 singles, as opposed to EP units.

Non-American 45s have been included only when they do not have a USA counterpart. (By a "counterpart" single, I mean one with the exact same two masters. I have actually prepared separate pages for such foreign counterparts of American singles; consult this discography's Miscellanea section, here and here.) Finally, you will find notes under selected issues throughout this page; those notes are often replicated in the sessionography, sometimes in expanded versions.


General Comment About This Single
Shown below, merely as a curiosity, is not the American Decca 45, but an Australian version, on Festival Records, catalogue number Sp45 1343.

Peggy Lee (ldr), David Klein (om), Nelson Riddle (arr, con), John "Plas" Johnson (sax), Robert "Bob" Bain, Al Hendrickson, Jack Marshall (g), Max K. Bennett, George "Red" Callender (b), Lou Levy, Ray Sherman (p), Roy Harte, Raymond Martinez (d), Peggy Lee (v), Unknown (bkv)

NOTES:
Capitol single #3722 was sent to radio stations with a misleading label that read "promotional debut record." Though by no means Peggy Lee's debut record, Capitol misidentified this 45 as such because it was the first Lee single released after her return to the label that she had left five years earlier. Shown below is Capitol's promotional ad for this single.

NOTES:
Shown below are two pieces of promotion on behalf of this single. The first is a trade ad, the second a British demo of the 45, presumably sent to radio stations or to other pertinent outfits.

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's recording of "Fever" debuted in Billboard's Hot 100 during the week of July 21, 1958. It peaked at #8 and stayed in the chart for 13 weeks. At Cashbox, it did even better, peaking at #6 and spending 14 weeks in the Best Selling Singles chart. The song also reached the top ten of two specialized Billboard charts: #9 in the Best Seller list, #10 in the Jockey list.

Peggy Lee's Capitol session files identify Capitol #3998 as a single released on 45. No 78 counterpart is listed. However, a 78 version of Capitol #3998 definitely exists. From time to time, copies of such a 78 show up for auction in the web. Given the fact that one of those auctioneers identified his copy as a Canadian issue, it may be that the 78 was released outside of the United states only. (If an American 78 pressing exists, I would appreciate receiving corroboration.) A 78 of "Fever / You Don't Know" was definitely issued in England and probably elsewhere in Europe, but overseas it bore a different catalogue number (CL 14903).

Shown herein is the 45, housed in a promotional sleeve, as it was presumably sent out to radio stations. Also shown are a couple of Capitol trade ads. (The "Fever" side of the 45 is viewable here, too.)

NOTES:
The gospel-tinged "Light Of Love" peaked at #63. After its debut during the week of November 3, 1958, it spent six weeks in Billboard's Hot 100. The flip side managed to crack the top 100, staying at #98 for two weeks in November 1958. "Sweetheart" actually fared a little better in Cashbox's Top 100 Singles, earning a #92 peak.

In Canada, Capitol #4071 had a warmer reception. Tabulated as an unity, "Light Of Love" and "Sweetheart" reached #30 in CHUM's Weekly Hit Parade, a top 50 airplay chart tabulated by Toronto's radio station CHUM.

NOTES:
This recruiting single features an announcer which identifies both sides as previously issued in Columbia's "Hall Of Fame" EP series. The series was dedicated to million sellers only, states the announcer. I do not know if the implication that this Goodman-Lee number sold so many copies is correct.

NOTES:
"Alright, Okay, You Win" entered Billboard's Hot 100 during the week of January 26, 1959 and stayed for six weeks, peaking at #68. It became Lee's 51st entry in Billboard's singles charts -- and her fourth hit after returning to Capitol. It also charted in Cashbox's Best Selling Singles chart, where it spent seven weeks and peaked at #62.

"My Man" entered the Hot 100 during the week of January 26, 1959 and stayed for six weeks in the chart, peaking at #81. Its showing was slightly better in Cashbox's Top 100 Singles chart: a #76 peak and a seven-week-stay total.

Capitol #4115 also fared well when it traveled north of the border. The single peaked at #28 in CHUM's Weekly Hit Parade, a top 50 airplay chart tabulated by Toronto's radio station CHUM.

The "Alright, Okay, You Win" side of this 45 can be seen here. Shown below is a Capitol trade ad for a batch of singles released in early 1959, including this one.

NOTES:
Peggy Lee was one of various Capitol artists who recorded a promotional spot in support of the Marine Reserve charity campaign Toys for Tots, which distributes toys to children in need. Other artists to do so were Nat King Cole, Vic Damone and Nancy Wilson. In their respective versions, the same "Toys For Tots" lyrics and tune are heard. All four singers are likely to have sung their respective interpretations to a pre-recorded track. Their "Toys for Tots" singles are likely to have been sent directly to Marine Corps facilities and to radio stations, and not sold in commercial stores. The release year that I have entered for this 45 is tentative, and thus still in need of stronger confirmation.

NOTES:
Capitol 45 F 4576 was issued inside a picture sleeve of s smiling Peggy Lee, with her arms half raised and her hands under the collar of the white blouse that she is wearing.

This 45 combines a song from the Basin Street East dates ("Yes, Indeed!") with a song ("Boston Beans") from Lee's ensuing Blues Cross Country sessions. Curiously, a Capitol ad for this single suggests that it was rush-released. The alleged reason for the rush was the unexpected demand for "Boston Beans," particularly in the Massachusetts record market. If this information is true (rather than mere promotional overstatement, as it very well may be), then perhaps both sides of the 45 were originally slated to contain numbers from the Basin Street East sessions.

According to an oral report for which I have no official confirmation, Capitol once intended to release on 45 rpm a Peggy Lee rendition of "Moments Like This" from the Basin Street East sessions. Although I was not told if the plan was to include it in Capitol single #4576,
such a plan strikes me as very possible. (To further clarify: the targeted version of "Moments Like This" was not the live one heard in the Basin Street East LP but a studio remake, which producer Cavanaugh would have originally requested with the intention of using it in that album, as a substitute of the live take. Nevertheless, the live take prevailed on the LP, and so did "Boston Beans," on the 45. Hence the studio remake of "Moments Like This" languished in Capitol's vaults, unissued, until 2002, when it was finally included in The Singles Collection.)

NOTES:
Faced with a prohibition to include the showtune "Till There Was You" in the 1960 British edition of the LP Latin Ala Lee! (due to the fact that the show had yet to premiere in England), EMI decided to instead issue the song on a British single about a year later, when restrictions no longer applied. In the United States, the number was never issued as a single.

"Till There Was You" made its debut in England's music chart during the week of March 25, 1961 and stayed for just a week, placing at #40. But shortly afterwards (during the week of April 8), it re-entered the chart, staying for three more weeks. That second time around, it peaked at #30.

This belated release of "Till There Was You" had a felicitous side effect. Paul McCartney heard the single and loved Lee's rendition. The song was recorded by The Beatles soon thereafter. An admiring McCartney eventually wrote and produced a track for a Lee album, too. (See early June, 1974 session.)

NOTES:
This is a promotional 45. Curiously, no actual 45 from the album Blues Cross Country was ever sent out for retail. Perhaps the album cuts were not deemed to have commercial appeal, due to the fact that they were either old standards or specialty tunes written by Lee. The one exception is the opening cut, "Kansas City," which is also the leading tune in this promotional item. It may well be that another Capitol artist had also recorded the Leiber & Stoller tune, and Capitol had decided to promote that version over Lee's. The album cut "Boston Beans" was actually issued in a 45, but as a B side. (The A side of that single was not front Blues Cross Country.) Ultimately, the Lee rendition chosen instead for 45 promotion was "Hey, Look Me Over," which she recorded during the Blues Cross Country sessions but was not included in (and clearly was not meant for) the album.

NOTES:
Since the advent of rock 'n' roll, singles by vintage pop-jazz artists such as Peggy Lee had been at a serious disadvantage in Billboard's charts. Data from adult contemporary stations was not being published. The magazine had been tabulating airplay mostly from stations that concentrated on kiddie pop and other mainstream music. This situation was finally rectified in 1965, when Billboard started publishing a tally for adult-oriented popular music in a chart that over the years has been variously called Easy Listening, Pop-Standard, Middle-of-the-Road, or Adult Contemporary. (For more details about this chart, see notes under Capitol session dated December 9, 1964.) During the week of March 13, 1965, "Pass Me By" reached a #20 position in that chart.

"Pass Me By" also made the lower part of the more mainstream charts. In Billboard's Hot 100, the song made its debut during the week of February 27, 1965 and stayed for 3 weeks, peaking at #93. In Cashbox's Top 100 Singles, it debuted one week earlier (February 20, 1965) and spent 4 weeks. Cashbox tallied together the popularity of two recordings of "Pass Me By," Peggy Lee's and Mike Douglas'; they peaked at #86.

NOTES:
Peggy Lee was one of various Capitol artists who recorded a promotional spot in support of the Marine Reserve charity campaign Toys for Tots, which distributes toys to children in need. Other artists to do so were Nat King Cole, Vic Damone and Nancy Wilson. In their respective versions, the same "Toys For Tots" lyrics and tune are heard; the singers may have sung their interpretations to a pre-recorded track. All "Toys for Tots" singles are likely to have been sent directly to Marine Corps facilities and to radio stations, and not sold in commercial stores.

An earlier "Toys For Tots" single (Kb 2820, tentatively dated 1960) is listed in Peggy Lee's Capitol session file. As for this single (Tb 2497-2498), it is not listed therein. I learned of its existence through secondary sources. I can not circumscribe the time it was sent to radio stations to any time span more specific than the years 1966 or the second half of 1965. (Wilson recorded her version in June 1965.) The release year that I have entered for Tb 2497-2498 is thus tentative, and subject to alteration.

The first of the covers shown below seems to belong to a Scandinavian edition of this 45 release, the second to a German edition. One of these 45 sleeves is given a 1969 date in one online source, a 1965 date in another source. Because the film is referenced in both covers, the film's year of release (1969) is the most logical choice.

NOTES:
"Whistle For Happiness" was the third Leiber & Stoller number that Peggy Lees placed in the Billboard charts. Its six weeks in the Easy Listening chart began on December 20, 1969. In the Unites States, it peaked at #13. "Whistle For Happiness" also charted in Canada's RPM Weekly, reaching the top 20 of the Adult chart (#19, January 1970) and the top 80 of the RPM100 chart. Below is Capitol's promotional ad for the song and single. Notice that flip side "Something" is not even mentioned -- perhaps to avoid any competition with the version by The Beatles, which was still popular when Lee's own version was issued.

NOTES:
I have no specifics about this special version of Capitol single #2721, reportedly prepared for radio airplay only. Nor have I ever heard it. Apparently, its version of "Love Story" was shortened to satisfy the demands or expectations of radio disc jockeys. However, if such was the case, why wasn't flip side "My Old Flame" shortened as well?

NOTES:
Written especially for her, Paul McCartney's composition "Let's Love" became Peggy Lee's 70th and last entry in Billboard's song charts. Lee's chart debut had taken place back in 1941, when she was part of The Benny Goodman Orchestra. She made her debut with Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad." As for the songstress' first entry as a solo artist, it was "Waitin' For The Train To Come In" (according to Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories, 1890-1954), released in 1945.

"Let's Love" peaked at #22 in Billboard's Easy Listening chart during the week of November 2, 1974. It also charted in the Contemporary Adult chart of Canada's RPM Weekly, where it peaked at #41 in the December 21, 1974 issue.

NOTES:
A&M single #1771 exists in two versions. One is the commercially issued 45, which features "Some Cats Know" on the A side, "I Remember" on the B side. (Seen below is the front cover of this version, in its British edition, Atlantic Ams 3213.) The other version is a promo that A&M sent out to disc jockeys and radio stations, and which includes "Some Cats Know" only; see next entry.

NOTES:
A&M single #1771 exists in two versions. There is the version sold through retail, which featured the songs "Some Cats Know" and "I Remember." A promo, this version spotlights "Some Cats Know," presenting it in full on one side, in an edit on the other side. ("I Remember" is not included). The promo's catalogue number is the same as the commercial issue, except for the addition of a suffix letter -- an s. For further details, see note in the entry directly above this one.

This is an often reissued EMI single. Three other versions are listed herein (1968, 1972, 1979), and there could be more. The release dates that I have for each of those (re)issues should be deemed tentative; they may very well be wrong.

NOTES:
This special 45 comes in a white sleeve which shows a 1980s photo of Lee in its front cover. Below you can see both the sleeve and the "Fever" side of the 45 itself.

NOTES:
" I do not know if "Fever" is heard on both sides of the 45, or if there is instead a second song on the flip side.

According to members of the site where the picture can be viewed, the label of the 45 includes the phrase "1958, Réedition de 1983" whereas the cover further identifies the issue as "1959, Réedition 1990." Indeed, a 1983 French reissue of the original single (released in 1958 in the USA, but presumably one years later in France) is listed above.

NOTES:
In England, Peggy Lee's version of "Fever" not only peaked at #5 when it was first released there (1958), but it also managed to re-enter the British chart in 1992, reaching #75. This re-entry was the result of a TV commercial that featured the song, and which compelled EMI to issue the above-listed single.

There was also an accompanying CS/CD single whose cover, seen here, was identical. All versions include the legend "The Original Hit Single By Peggy Lee" in the front cover.

Don Otis (pdr), The Charles Wolcott Orchestra (acc), Peggy Lee (v)

NOTES:
This CD includes a large assortment of songs requested by listeners of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's radio program Fresh Air. A morning variety show heard mostly in Ontario and Quebec, Fresh Air includes a segment entitled Adrian's Music, in which CBC's archivist Adrian Shuman plays those listeners' requests and shares his research findings about the songs. The CD leans heavily on rare acts and ditties dating from the first decades of the twentieth century -- for instance, a number called "Mickey," interpreted by the famous 1900s Canadian recording star Henry Burr. There are only three or four well-known later artists in the mix (e.g., Duke Ellington, Peggy Lee, Perry Como). The latter is heard singing a 1930 number which he recorded for RCA Victor in 1947 (although the disc's version could be from one of his Chesterfield radio shows instead), "When Your Hair Has Turned To Silver."

NOTES:
This oft-reissued Japanese 45 invariably comes inside a photo sleeve -- apparently, a different one for each reissue. Most of the photos are stills from the movie Johnny Guitar. For additional details, consult the notes under session dated March 1, 1954, in this page. Of the four photos supplied below, I should clarify that I can confidently identify the first three as (re)issues of this single, with the same catalogue number, Ds 98. The fourth photo also shows a reissue, though with a different catalogue number, 237.As for the fifrth photo, I do not have any information about it (aside from an unconfirmed claim that it was released by United Artists) and I am only assuming it to be another edition of Ds 98. There might veey well be even more reissues of tihs Japanese single; if such is the case, I have yet to locate them.

NOTES:
This mysterious single is not listed in Peggy Lee's session files, nor have I ever come across it. My information about its existence comes instead from two other sources: Michel Ruppli's The Decca Labels: A Discography and Charles Garrod's Decca New York Masters, Volume 7 (8700-8999). Garrod states that this master was "not used" -- i.e., not issued at all.

NOTES:
This actually seems to be a promotional rather than a commercial release. The prefix "Dj" could stand for the words "disc jockey" and could be an indication that this item was originally sent to radio stations and meant for radio airplay only.
