The Peggy Lee Bio-Discography's Picture Gallery:
Radio Broadcasts
by Iván Santiago-Mercado

Return To Table Of Contents

Scope And Contents

This page focuses on albums which contain radio performances. The organization is alphabetical by name of the radio show's host, from the Armed Forces Radio to Frank Sinatra. Due to their greater relevance, an exception to that alphabetical organization has been made for shows hosted by Peggy Lee: albums with such contents are listed first. Only albums entirely dedicated to radio material are included. (As for Peggy Lee issues which mix broadcast performances with studio recordings and radio transcriptions, such hybrids will be covered separately, in a yet-to-be-opened Bootleg and Public Domain Compilations section of this pictorial gallery.) Also excluded from this page are radio shows in which the host was Bing Crosby, and shows in which the guest or main attraction was Benny Goodman. Such shows have their own separate pages here (Crosby) and here (Goodman). Finally, an index of all the albums listed herein can be found at the bottom of the page.

Peggy Lee and Billy May were the guest stars of those episodes; see entry #12. (As for the seven other performances in the Hindsight album, they are not from radio shows, but are transcriptions instead.)

11. Title: Jazz Singers Sing The Blues / Format: CS & CD / Label: Hindsight / Cat. Num.: 902 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Note: This various-artists compilation includes the Peggy Lee vocal "I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues," originally heard (with backing by Billy May) during an episode of the National Guard radio show Let's Go To Town. See also entries #9 and #12.

12. Title: [Billy May] By Arrangement / Format: CD / Label: Jasmine / Cat. Num.: Jascd 406 / Rel. Year: 2004 / Volumes: 2 / Note: Contains a wide assortment of May-arranged numbers, all of them identified as recorded between 1939 and 1952. May backs Peggy Lee in two of them, "I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues" and "I've Got The World On A String." Both numbers originated in episodes of the National Guard's radio show Let's Go To Town; see entry #12.

Year: 2002 / Volumes: 2 / Note: This CD contains mostly Billy May instrumentals culled from various episodes of the National Guard radio show Let's Go To Town. Amidst those instrumentals, there is one Peggy Lee's vocal: "I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues" (the same rendition that is listed in items #9, #10, and #11 above).

Related Issues, Not Listed Above:

15. Title: Basically Sound (Holiday Greetings From Gotham Recording Corporation) / Format: LP / Label: Gotham / Cat. Num.: Grc 3979 / Rel. Year: unknow, possibly late 1950s or early 1960s / Note: Contains a Peggy Lee performance of "He's Only Wonderful," taken from an episode of the Armed Forces Radio show Guest Star in which the guests were Lee and Dave Barbour. This various-artists compilation might have been culled from various AFRS shows. Given the "greetings" inscription, it might have been a holiday promotional item, not sold in stores.

III. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN PERRY COMO'S RADIO SHOW





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: At The Supper Club [Part 1] / Format: CD / Label: Sounds Of Yesteryear / Cat. Num.: (England) 824 / Rel. Year: 2010 / Note: Contains a version of "I Don't Know Enough About You." Although I have not listened to this issue, it is my belief that none of the other tracks feature Lee.

IV. PEGGY LEE'S APPEARANCES IN JIMMY DURANTE'S RADIO SHOW





Album Cover Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Why Don't You Do Right?, 1947-1948 / Format: CD / Label: Viper's Nest / Cat. Num.: 158 / Rel. Year: 1995 / Tracks: 21 / Note: For fans of Peggy Lee, this is by far the most important issue among those which contain tracks from The Jimmy Durante Show. The CD collects 21 solo Lee tracks, culled from many episodes of the show. Missing from the CD are less than a handful of solo performances. (As for non-solo performances, those have yet to be collected in one package. All of them fall under the categories of comedy tunes and special material. There aren't too many. Most of them can be founs in items #3, #5 and #6 below.)





Album Cover Shown:

3. Title: ... just one of those things / Format: CD / Label: Master Tone Razamataz / Cat. Num.: (England) Rz 4031 / Rel. Year: 1996 / Tracks: 12 / Note: All 12 tracks had been previously issued in item #1.

4. Title: Jimmy Durante With Peggy Lee / Format: CD / Discs: 10 / Label: Nostalgia Merchant / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: unknown, possibly 2011 (a 1978 "original release date" is found online; if accurate, it would mean that this material was originally issued back then on cassette or LP) / Note: Consists of ten CDs containing 20 episodes from the 1947-1948 season of Durante's show.





Album Covers Shown:

5. Title: The Schnozz ... In Person! (Comedy Series No. 27) / Format: LP / Label: Radiola - Sandy Hook / Cat. Num.: Mr 1080 / Rel. Year: 1977 / Note: Side A contains a complete episode of The Jimmy Durante Show. Side B consists of an assortment of Durante radio appearances, none of them involving Peggy Lee. In the episode on side A, Lee sings "I'll Dance At Your Wedding," which can also be found in #1 above.

6. Title: Durante, Patron Of The Arts / Format: CD / Label: Viper's Nest / Cat. Num.: Vn 151 / Rel. Year: 1994 / Note: Contains three tracks featuring Peggy Lee: "Long Time, No See," "Any State In The Forty-Eight Is Great," and "Mañana" (the latter also found in #1 above).

Other Issues, Not Shown Above:

10. The no-longer-operating CDr mail company Redmond Nostalgia released quite a few 1947-1948 episodes of The Jimmy Durante Show, many of them featuring Peggy Lee. Full details will be found in a page, dedicated to Durante's radio program, that I am currently putting together. (That page is slated to open in late 2011. It will be part of the Media section of this discography.) Online companies that sell radio broadcasts on MP3 files also have a large portion of those episodes. (Items #6 and #7 are examples, released by of the best of such companies.)





Album Cover Shown:

11. Title: Jimmy Durante ("The Ultimate Collection" Series) / Format: CD / Label: Prism Leisure Platinum / Cat. Num.: (England) 430 / Rel. Year: 1999 / Note: Contains just one track featuring Peggy Lee, "Long Time, No See," which is also available in item #4 above.





  General Note:
  There is, of course, a variety of multiple-artists compilations which include the odd Peggy Lee track from Durante's (and Crosby's) radio shows. To the left of this text you   can see an example: a 2003 Collectors' Choice 2CD issue (Ccm 04122) which contains Lee's version of "The Christmas Song" from an episode of Durante's show. Please   notice that, aside from this example, such compilations are not shown here. Their titles can be found, however, scattered through the Various-Artists Compilations page.

V. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN ED GARNER'S RADIO SHOW DUFFY'S TAVERN





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: Duffy's Tavern, Volume 2 / Format: cassette / Label: Radio Spirits / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 1999 / Volumes: 6 / Note: This issue consists of a long plastic white box with six cassettes inside. The cassettes comprise a total of 18 episodes from Ed Garner's show Duffy's Tavern. Peggy Lee guests in two episodes, both included in the last of the six tapes. She sings "What More Can A Woman Do" and "You Was Right, Baby."

VI. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN AL JOLSON'S RADIO SHOW [& THEIR CO-APPEARANCES IN BING CROSBY'S RADIO SHOWS]





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: At Their Rarest Of All Rare Performances / Format: LP / Label: Biac / Cat. Num.: (Belgium) Brad 10 530 / Rel. Year: 1976 / Volumes: 2 (Lee: 10531; Jolson: 10530) / Note: I do not have a copy of this 2LP set; my thanks to Theo Andriessen for supplying extensive details about it. I have included those details herein because the album's cover and title give the impression that it contains performances sung by Lee for Jolson's show. Such is not the case, however. One LP is entirely dedicated to Peggy Lee, the other to Al Jolson. Lee does not participate in any of the numbers from the vinyl dedicated to Jolson. Conversely, none of the numbers in Lee's vinyl involve Jolson, nor his radio programs.

The nine tracks that feature Peggy Lee include four performances taken from various episodes of Bing Crosby's radio show: "A Thousand Violins, "Way Back Home," "Sunshine Cake," and "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes. The remaining five tracks, all from other radio shows, are: "You Was Right, Baby," "Can't Help Lovin' That Man," "Laroo Lilli Bolero," "A Hundred Years From Today," and "Them There Eyes." The tenth and final track in the LP, "Waltz In Swingtime," is actually an instrumental from one of the radio shows in which Lee guested with then-husband Dave Barbour. It should be noted in passing that the album's track listing contains numerous misspellings and innacuracies. For instance, "Sunshine Cake" is misidentified as "Sunshine Lake," "Way Back Home" is elongated to "When I'm Back Home," and "You Was Right" is turned into "You're So Right, Baby." Most likely, the makers of the album did not have information about the song's titles, and thus came up with titles based just on their own listening of the album's performances.





Album Covers Shown:

2. Title: You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet / Format: LP / Label: Radiola - Sandy Hook / Cat. Num.: 3 Mr 2 / Rel. Year: 1985 / Volumes: 3 / Note: This 3LP set contains six full episodes from The Al Jolson Show. Three Peggy Lee performances are included, all within the same episode: the solo "I Wanna Go Where You Go (Then I'll Be Happy)" and two duets with Jolson, "So Long, Mary" and "Summertime." Along with Jolson and Oscar Levant, Peggy Lee also plays one of the leading roles in the comic sketch from the same episode. For a digital transfer of this show, see #5 below.

3. Title: Duets / Format: CD / Label: Original Cast Record / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 1999 / Note: Contains two duets with Al Jolson, "People Will Say We're In Love" and "The Birth Of The Blues." For the show source od these performances, see #4 below.


Other Issues, Not Shown Above:

4. Title: The Kraft Music Hall Starring Al Jolson With Special Guests Peggy Lee And Dennis Day / Format: CD / Label: Totem / Cat. Num.: Cd 147 / Note: Contains two complete shows, originally broadcast back-to-back. Peggy Lee, the guest star of the first, sings "On A Slow Boat To China" solo and perform two duets with Jolson, "People Will Say We're In Love" and "The Birth Of The Blues." All three songs are actually incorporated to a
comic sketch isurrounding Jolson's and sidekick Oscar Levant's process of creating a musical, with Lee participating as the leading lady. The three numbers are sung in full (not as medleys).

5. Title: The Kraft Music Hall Starring Al Jolson With Special Guests Peggy Lee And Dennis Day / Format: CD / Label: Totem / Cat. Num.: Cd 150 / Note: Contains two complete shows, originally broadcast back-to-back. Peggy Lee, the guest star of the first, sings the solo "I Wanna Go Where You Go (Then I'll Be Happy) and does two duets with Jolson, "So Long, Mary" and "Summertime." Lee is also one of the three main players in the episode's comic sketch.

VII. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN ANDY RUSSELL'S RADIO SHOW





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: My Heart Sings / Format: CD / Label: Mr. Music / Cat. Num.: Mmcd 7011 / Rel. Year: 2002 / Note: Contains two complete shows, both originally broadcast in 1945. Peggy Lee was the guest in one of them. She sings "Why Don't You Do Right?".

VIII. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN DINAH SHORE'S RADIO SHOW





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: Dinah Shore 1947 & Bing Crosby 1952 / Format: LP / Label: Sunbeam / Cat. Num.: Hb 309 / Rel. Year: 1975 / Note: Contains one episode from The Dinah Shore Show and one episode from The Bing Crosby Show, the latter with Shore as the guest vocalist. The latter does not feature Lee.
In the former, Peggy Lee and Nat King Cole are both guests. Lee's solo is "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home?". Cole, Lee, Shore, and Peter Lind Hayes sing a comedy number entitled "I Ain't Mad At You."

IX. PEGGY LEE'S GUEST APPEARANCES IN FRANK SINATRA'S RADIO SHOWS





Album Covers Shown:

1. Title: Songs By Sinatra; The Old Gold Shows, Volume 1 / Format: CS & CD / Label: Movieplay/Intermusic's On The Air / Cat. Num.: (Portugal) 401976 1 & 401976 / Volumes: 2 (CD) & 4? (CS) / Rel. Year: 1997 / Note: This 2CD set (the first in a series of at least six volumes) contains four complete episodes of Sinatra's Old Gold radio show (two episodes per CD). Peggy Lee guests in one episode. She sings just one number, "Why Don't You Do Right?," and there are no duets between her and Sinatra. In cassette configuration, the disc that includes "Why Don't You Do Right?" is split into two tapes (#401976 1 & #491976 2). Presumably (I do not have corroboration), the other CD is also split into two tapes, which would mean that the total of tapes in the cassette version is four. Heard in the other episodes are Martha Tilton, Ginny Simms, and Frances Langford.

2. Title: Songs By Sinatra; The Old Gold Shows, Volume 3 / Format: CS & CD / Label: Movieplay/Intermusic's On The Air / Cat. Num.: (Portugal) __ & 101979 / Volumes: 2 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Note: This 2CD set contains four complete episodes of Sinatra's Old Gold radio show. Peggy Lee guests in one episode. Her solo is "Waiting For The Train To Come In." Lee and Sinatra also do a duet, "You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me." In cassette configuration, this set presumably consists of 4 tapes.

SCOPE, COMPLETENESS AND CROSS-REFERENCES

The present page concentrates on issues that are entirely dedicated to radio broadcast performances. As for issues that contain not only radio broadcast numbers but also other types of performances (e.g., studio recordings, or transcriptions), those will be covered in a page that is currently under construction. I have also made a separate page for radio transcriptions (i.e., numbers recorded for radio syndication, as opposed to this page's subject: performances sung during -- or otherwise pre-taped for -- a particular episode of a radio show). Also, if you happen to be specially interested in Peggy Lee's collaborations with either Bing Crosby or Benny Goodman, notice this pictorial gallery's separate pages for the old groaner and the king of swing.

Finally, viewers should not assume that the above-listed programs are the only radio shows on which Lee made an appearance. Far from it. There are many other pertinent shows which are not mentioned above, for a simple reason: they have not been commercially released. Such non-commercially issued material will eventually be covered in this discography's Media Performances section, slated to open in the second half of 2011.
