The Peggy Lee Bio-Discography's Picture Gallery:
Guest Appearances In Variety TV Shows
by Iván Santiago-Mercado

Return To Table Of Contents

Scope And Contents

This page is dedicated to Peggy Lee's guest appearances in televised shows. Entries are arranged alphabetically by first name of the show's host, from Andy Williams to Vic Damone. Shows with rotating hosts are entered mostly by name of the show itself -- e.g., "Colgate Comedy Hour." Near the end of the page, there is also a miscellaneous section which focuses on Lee's non-singing guest appearances. For a listing of all the issues listed in this page, consult the index at the bottom of the page.

Please notice that the page is circumscribed to appearances which have been commercially issued (on VHS, DVD, laser, or audio). Peggy Lee made many appearances which remain commercially unissued, and which I will eventually be listing in a different page. As for Peggy Lee's own TV specials, consult the Full-Length Video page.

I. ANDY WILLIAMS SHOWS




Artwork Shown:

1. Title: The Best Of The Andy Williams Show / Format: DVD / Label: Time-Life / Cat. Num.: unknown / Discs: 2 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Note: Both DVD discs from this 2007 release were also included in an 8DVD set that was released one year later. For further details, including the Peggy Lee performances that this 2DVD set contains, read entries #2 and #8.

2. Title: The Best Of The Andy Williams Show / Format: DVD / Label: Time-Life / Cat. Num.: unknown / Discs: 8 / Rel. Year: 2008 / Note: Image #2 displays all 8 DVDs in the set under discussion, as well as photos of the host, both in color and in b&w. Each DVD concentrates on two episodes from Williams' show. According to owners of this set (I am not one of them), the episodes are not featured in their entirety (probably as a result of copyright obstacles and challenging monetary demands). Peggy Lee was a guest in two of the episodes chosen for inclusion, both detailed below.




Artwork Shown:

3-7. The Best Of The Andy Williams Show, Volume 2 / Format: DVD / Label: Time Life & Direct Holdings Americas / Cat. Num.: 21680 9 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Note: In this disc (image #3), Peggy Lee is seen performing "Put The Blame On Mame" on a stage which has been re-designed as a fire station (images #4, #5, #6, and #7). Re-named "Put The Blame On Me," the song has been slightly altered, opening with Williams' singing of the first chorus followed by his (also sung) introduction of Lee, and ending with a new chorus and a coda which further connects the performance to Lee and to her hit "Fever." Accompanied by dancers dressed as firemen and dressed herself in fire-engine red, she sings about all the catatrosphes for which her fever-inducing self has been responsible. Lee's performance comes from an episode which originally aired on October 2, 1966. The episode also featured Williams and Lee duetting on her self-penned song "Stay With Me," plus Al Hirt joining the pair for a closing version of "Smack Dab In The Middle." The trio's rendition has ben included in this DVD, but the duet has not. Part of the DVD as well are segments taken from theshow's January 11, 1965 episode (in which Peggy Lee did not participate) and a recent interview with Williams.

8. Title: The Best Of The Andy Williams Show / Note: Image #8 shows volumes 1 and 2 of Time-Life's Andy Williams Show. This couple of volumes was initially released by itself, as a 2DVD set (image #1 above) and later as part of the aforementioned 8DVD set (image #2). The Peggy Lee contents in the 2-volume edition are identical to those found in the 8DVD set. (However, Time-Life Music made the other 6 DVDs available only as part of the 8DVD set, not separately.)





Artwork Shown:

9-12. The Best Of The Andy Williams Show, Volume 7 / Format: DVD / Label: Time Life & Direct Holdings Americas / Cat. Num.: 21691 9 / Rel. Year: 2008 / Note: In this disc (image #9) from the aforementioned 8DVD set, Peggy Lee is seen performing "Fever." For this performance, she is once again dressed in red, accompanied by the show's dancers, and surrounded by burning props. Three stills from the performance can be seen above (images #10, #11, and #12). The episode, which originally aired in 1965 (on January 4, according to some sources, or May 31, according to other sources), also featured a Lee-Williams "Language Of Love" medley, and a wild west comedy sketch during which Lee sang "You've Got To See Mama Every Night." The wild west sketch is found in the DVD under discussion, too, but the love medley was excluded.

13-15. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: This music-filled documentary (image #13) includes a segment of a "Cross-country Blues" medley sung by Lee and Williams during the November 12, 1963 episode of his show. The segment incorporated to the DVD shows them singing "St. Louis Blues" (images #14 and #15). In addition to the medley, Lee did a solo rendition of "Mack The Knife" during this episode. "Mack The Knife" has not been commercially issued.

II. BENNY GOODMAN SPECIALS




Images Shown:

1-8. Stills from Swing Into Spring: The 25th Anniversary Of The Great Benny Goodman Band. This April 10, 1959 special was the second of its kind. The first, also entitled Swing Into Spring, had been televised one year earlier, on April 8, 1958. Both featured Benny Goodman as main star, and both were sponsored by Texaco. (They seem to have been part of the long-running Texaco Star Theatre TV variety series.) Ella Fitzgerald was the other main artist who participated in both specials. Peggy Lee participated only in the second of the specials (1959). In stills #1, #2, #3, and #4, she is seen during her solo spot, which she spent singing "Why Don't You Do Right?" In the stills from the second row, Lee, Fitzgerald and Goodman are caught in the act of performing an "Ah, Men, Ah, Women" medley. Lee's voice graced four of the medley's numbers. She performed "I'm Just Wild About Harry," "When A Woman Loves A Man" and her own "Things Are Swingin' " by herself. The two other numbers in which Lee participated ("Ah, Men, Ah, Women" and "The Glory Of Love") featured Fitzgerald and Goodman as well. Texaco commissioned a not-for-sale, reference LP of this 1959 special. That very rare LP (precious few collectors own a copy) features the show's entire contents. Texaco's Swing Into Spring LP should not be confused with a Columbia LP also entitled Swing Into Spring, which was released as a tie-in to the specials but which actually contains studio recordings by Goodman.





Artwork Shown:

9. An ad from Texaco's Swing Into Spring campaign, run by the Saturday Evening Post in an April 1958 edition of its magazine. Benny Goodman's head and clarinet are seen on the top right. The first of the TV specials is mentioned near the bottom left, above the red-tinted word "Texaco."





Album Cover Shown:

10. Title: Benny Goodman; More Of The Fabulous 50's / Format: LP / Label: Giants of Jazz / Cat. Num.: Goj Lp 1011 / Rel. Year: 1978 / Note: Contains selections from the 1959 Swing Into Spring special, including the "Ah, Men, Ah, Women" medley (but not Lee's "Why Don't You Do Right?" solo).

11. Title: Swing Into Spring / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Video Yesteryear / Cat. Num.: 1173 / Rel. Year: 1998 (VHS) / Note: Like most other releases from Video Yesteryear, the 1998 VHS version (not shown above) comes in a plain yellow box which contains generic promotional information about the label. Also common to these releases is a white card with a black & white photo of the artist(s) and specifics about the video's contents. Because the card is precariously attached to the video box (with bits of tape), it can easily be lost. In the case of the item under discussion, the card shows a scene from the 1959 Swing Into Spring special, in which Ella Fitzgerald is seen singing while Benny Goodman plays. As for the DVD transfer, it includes not only the 1959 Swing Into Spring special but also a bonus program that consists of two Frankie Laine shows. I am missing basic information about this DVD item, which I have never seen, and which seems to be exclusively sold through the website Jazz Legends. Image #10 is the picture displayed for the DVD onsite ( http://www.jazzlegends.com/video/61 ); I do not know if is also the item's front cover.

III. BING CROSBY SPECIALS, PART 1




Artwork Shown:

1 - 6. Title Of The Special: The Bing Crosby Show / Note: These 6 stills show Peggy Lee singing 5 of the numbers that she performed during this 1959 special, which also featured Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra: "Baubles, Bangles, And Beads" (a solo; first and last images), "[Up A] Lazy River" (with Sinatra), "I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore (with Armstrong, Crosby, and Sinatra), "Too Neat To Be A Beatnik, Too Round To Be A Square" (with Crosby), and "Lullaby Of Birdland" (with George Shearing; part of a medley that also featured Crosby and Sinatra). Still further, she was involved in at least a couple more numbers, for which no image is supplied above.





7. Title: Frank Sinatra Through The Years, Volume 2 (1944-1966) / Format: LP / Label: Ajazz / Cat. Num.: Ajazz 508 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: Contains one Peggy Lee track, her "Lullaby of Birdland" piano duet with George Shearing.

8. Title: Bing Crosby; The Television Specials, Volume 1 / Format: DVD / Volumes: 2 / Label: Infinity Entertainment - Hepcat / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2010 / Note: This DVD contains 4 complete Crosby specials, including the 1959 show under discussion.


Related Issues (Artwork Missing):

9. Title: Bing Crosby & Friends Sing & Sing & Sing, Volume Two / Format: CDr / Label: Der Bingle / Cat. Num.: Bc 102 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: This commercially sold CDr contains all the numbers from the 1959 special in which Bing Crosby participates, including the entire "I Love A Piano" medley with Joe Bushkin, Peggy Lee, George Shearing, Paul Smith, and Frank Sinatra. (Also contains tracks from a similar Crosby special that featured Sinatra and Rosemary Clooney, plus assorted numbers from other Crosby shows.) Unfortunately, the makers of this item used a cheap brand of CDr. My copy, bought in the early 2000s, no longer plays.

IV. BING CROSBY SPECIALS, PART 2: HOLLYWOOD PALACE



Artwork Shown:

1-4. Title Of The Special: The Hollywood Palace / Note: Various celebrities used to alternate as hosts of this variey show. In a 1968 episode hosted by Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee sang the numbers "Seems Like Old Times" (image #1) and "What Is A Woman?" (images #2 and #3). With Crosby, she also sang a medley of novelties, including her popular version of "The Doodlin' Song" (image #4).

5. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) & 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Includes the aforementioned duet rendition of "The Doodlin' Song." (As for Lee's solo performances from this show, they have not been commercially issued.)

V. BOB HOPE SPECIALS




Artwork Shown:

1 & 2. Title: The Star-Spangled Revue / Format: DVD-R / Label: Artiflix / Cat. Num.: none given; UPC code 8 85444 49638 7 / Rel. Year: 2010 / Note: For this revue, Peggy Lee's solo was an uptempo version of "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered." She also played leading lady (and goldigger) in a fairly long comedy sketch, within which she sang "It's So Nice To Have A Man Around The House." In addition to Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra and Beatrice Lillie were the other main guests. Lillie played Lee's mother in the aforementioned sketch. Image #1 shows the rather plain cover of the officially released DVDr, sold through Amazon.

Sometimes wrongly touted as Bob Hope's first television special, this show was actually his second. The misattribution might be partly due to the fact that both episodes were part of the Star-Spangled Revue series, and thus respond to the same title. Also, they aired within a month of one another, in April and May 1950, with Beatrice Lillie as a participant on both occasions. Still further, Frank Sinatra's presence in the second episode has led to a greater focus on that special, at the expense of the first. It was, after all, Sinatra's TV debut. Image #2 shows Hope and Sinatra during rehearsals.

VI. CHEVY SPECIALS




Stills And Artwork Shown:

1. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Features a performance of "I'm Gonna Go Fishin' " taken from the TV show under scrutiny.

2 - 6. Title Of The Show: The Chevy Show; Four In One / Note: This 1961 special aired during The Dinah Shore Chevy Show slot, presumably on a week when Shore was either unable to work or on vacation. Hence the hour was filled with performances from four different acts. Each one was given his or her own full segment. The Peggy Lee segment began in a playful manner. In a darkened stage, a group of dancers performed as Lee, sight unseen, sang patter about the hit songs of hers that she could sing for the audience. Whenever Lee would mention a hit song, one of the various doors placed behind the dancers would open to show Lee behind it. She would then sing a few lines from the given hit (e.g., "Mañana," "Lover") and then the door should shut close. Eventually, she came out of the doors (image #1), spoke a couple of sentences, and moved on to singing more songs, though no longer as snippets but in full: "I Love Being Here With You," "I'm Gonna Go Fishin" (images #3, #4, #5, #6), "Just For A Thrill," and "Yes, Indeed."

VII. COLGATE COMEDY HOUR SPECIALS: ABBOTT AND COSTELLO




Artwork Shown:

1 - 4. Title Of The Show: The Colgate Comedy Hour / Note: In these stills, Peggy Lee is singing "Johnny Guitar," one of the two numbers that she performed during this 1954 episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour. The other number was her uptempo version of "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered." Furthermore, Lee sang a commercial spot on behalf of shampoo Halo, too. Abbot & Costello were the hosts of the episode, which also featured Hoagy Carmichael.





Artwork Shown:

5. Title: The Best Of The Abbott And Costello Show, Volumes 1 & 2 / Format: DVD / Discs: 2 / Label: Good Time Video - Gaiam Americas / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Contains 9 of the Colgate Comedy Hour episodes that were hosted by Abbott & Costello, including the one one under discussion.

6. Title: The Best Of The Abbott & Costello Show, Volume 2 / Format: DVD / Label: Good times / Cat. Num.: (ISBN 7662 2296 9) / Note: Contains 5 episodes of the show, including the one in which Peggy Lee and Hoagy Carmichael guested. Presumed to be (I do not own a copy) one of the two DVDs that are part of item #5.

7. Title: Abbott & Costello Collection / Format: DVD / Volumes: 5 / Label: Diamond / Cat. Num.: 95120 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Note: Contains 12 of the Colgate Comedy Hour episodes that were hosted by Abbott & Costello -- including the one under discussion -- as well as two of their films and over 20 movie trailers.

8. Title: Legends Of Laughter; Abbott & Costello / Format: DVD / Discs: 6 / Label: / Cat. Num.: / Rel. Year: 2010 / Note: Contains 14 of the Colgate Comedy Hour episodes that were hosted by Abbott & Costello., as well as two films, over 25 movie trailers , audio of radio shows, etc. I have not checked the set myself, but online reviews do mention the 1954 episode with Carmichael and Lee among those included.

9. Title: Abbott & Costello 2 Hour Colgate / Format: DVD / Label: Pmb / Cat. Num.: ?421 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: Few details known. An online seller once described it as containing three episodes, including the one under discussion.

VIII. COLGATE COMEDY HOUR SPECIALS: EDDIE FISHER




Stills Shown:

1-3. Name Of The Show: Colgate Comedy Hour / Note: The first live TV broadcast ever from the Hollywood Bowl, this spectacular opened the fourth season of the Colgate Comedey Hour. The main performing guests were Louis Armstrong and Peggy Lee. Rocky Marciano also received top billing. The master of ceremonies was Eddie Fisher, who at the time was one of the show's rotating hosts. In addition to the Hollywood Bowl itself, the images above present Lee in the act of singing "From This Moment On." Her other numbers were "Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me" and a shortened, closing-show version of "Lover."





Artwork Shown:

5. Title: Shokus Video Presents Vintage Television, Volume XVI / Format: VHS / Label: Shokus / Cat. Num.: 439 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: Shown in this image is actually one of the generic covers that Shokus used for its videos. I do not have an image for the specific volume in question (XVI), which contains not only the Colgate Comedy Hour program under examination but also episodes from the shows Strictly For Laffs and Bulova Watch Time, the latter with Sinatra.

IX. DEAN MARTIN SHOWS













Artwork Shown:

1 - 12. Title Of The Show: The Dean Martin Comedy Hour / Note: These photos and stills show seven of Peggy Lee's performances on Dean Martin's Show, some of them included in the videos and DVDs listed below, others from those same episodes but yet to be commercially issued. The initial photo and the next three stills are from a 1966 episode in which Peggy Lee and Dean Martin sang a medley of hits that she wrote ("I Love Being Here With You," "Mañana," "It's A Good Day," and "I Love Being Here With You"). The stills in the second row are from Lee's solos ("When The World Was Young" and "It's A Wonderful World") during the same episode. All artwork in the third row originated in a 1965 episode which included a trio performance of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" by Lee, Martin, and Jack Jones (images #7, #8, and #9). That 1965 episode also featured a Lee solo spot, during which she sang a "When A Woman Loves A Man" medley which consisted of the titular song along with "I'm Just Wild About Harry," "Bill," and "Alright, Okay, You Win" (image #10). In the last row, the first still shows another Lee and Martin medley, this one from a 1967 show. That playful medley consisted of "Just You, Just Me," "Exactly Like You," "For You," "The Very Thought Of You," "You're Driving Me Crazy," and "I Wanna Go Where You Go, Then I'll Be Happy." Lee's solo in the 1967 episode was "Alfie," for which I do not have an image. I also lack images for solo performances of "Little Girl Blue" (1966) and "The Shining Sea" (1966) which were included in a couple of the issues discussed below. Both performances are from 1966 episodes. As for the last, remaining still, it shows Lee performing "Here's To You" during a 1968 episode.





General Note
These three Dean Martin Variety Show items were released under license from NBC. They are the first installments in what has been conceived as a series. Unlike the Gunthry-Rinker items below (#16 and #17), the clips in these Time-Life DVDs were not randomly culled from different shows. Instead, each DVD concentrates in 3 or 4 episodes of the show. However, none of the one-hour-long episodes are presented in their entirety. Only segments of them are included -- sometimes as little as about 15 minutes.

Artwork Shown:

13, 14 & 15. Title: The Best Of The Dean Martin Variety Show / Format: DVD / Label: Time-Life / Cat. Num.: 26410 [yellow set] & 26409 [green set] & 26408 [violet set] / Rel. Year: 2011 / Note: The images displayed above show a 6DVD set (image #5), a 2 DVD set (image #6), and a single DVD (image #7). The 6DVD set contains clips from 20 episodes of Dean Martin's show. The 2DVD and the single DVD are just separately sold pieces of the 6DVD set. (Thus, the single DVD contains the 4 episodes that are also in the first disc of the 6DVD set. Similarly, the 2DVD set consists of the same 7 episodes found in discs #1 and #2 of the 6DVD set.) All three versions include segments from a September 23, 1965 episode in which Peggy Lee was one of Martin's guests. (It was the second episode of the entire series.) One of the segments is the aforementioned "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" trio of Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, and Jack Jones. The other segment is from Lee's (also aforementioned) solo medley: her rendition of "Alright, Okay, You Win."





General Note
This extensive Greg Garrison Presents series consists of 30 DVDs. (Since only 29 DVDs are advertised in most sites, the 30th might have been a special release. Actually, both #29 and #30 are described as bonus "best of" discs. Presumably, they consist of reprises of the performances from the other discs.) Each DVD contains just about an hour of highlights, each rather haphazardly culled from different shows. Guthy-Renker offered this series primarily by mail and via its website. Advertisement was made through TV infomercials. Time-Life also carried these DVDs, at least for a while.

Artwork Shown:

16. Title: Greg Garrison Presents The Best Of The Dean Martin Variety Show, Volume 3 / Format: VHS / Label: Guthy-Renker / Cat. Num.: Dvslv 003 / Rel. Year: 2003 / Note: The VHS includes Peggy Lee's 1966 solo performance of "Little Girl Blue" and the aforementioned duet medley of Peggy Lee songs (image #1, #2, #3 and #4 above). Please notice that the DVD edition (volume 3, Dv 0069, released in 2003) does not include any Peggy Lee performances. Apparently, the Lee parts were included in the VHS only, and excluded from the DVD. This matter can lead to confusion, and I might have not fully solved it yet. (Could there be a second DVD edition, maybe from Time-Life, which wold include Lee?) The matter is further complicated by the fact that commercial sites such as Amazon advertise the non-Lee DVD with a picture of the VHS cover. (The VHS cover, shown above, includes Peggy Lee among the 7 guests listed. The DVD cover lists only the other six names.)

17. Title: Greg Garrison Presents The Best Of The Dean Martin Variety Show, Volume 28 / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Guthy-Renker / Cat. Num.: Dvslv 028 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: I do not own a copy of this issue, and available online information about it is vague. I believe that volume 28 includes Peggy Lee's solo "Alfie" and a medley with Martin ("Just You, Just Me," "Exactly Like You," "For You," "The Very Thought of You," "You're Driving Me Crazy," and "I Wanna Go Where You Go, Then I'll Be Happy"). A still from the medley is shown above (image #9). Please bear in mind the problematic situation that I brought up in connection with item #16 above; the situation might or might not apply to this item, too.





Artwork Shown:

16. Title: That's Amore / Format: DVD / / Label: The Dean Family Trust & Capitol Records / Cat. Num.: 7243 4 77904 9 2 / Rel Year: 2001 / Note: Contains performances from Dean Martin's TV show. All of them are solo Martin numbers except for two medleys, one with Petula Clark and the other with Peggy Lee. The medley sung by Martin and Lee is dedicated to hits that she wrote ("I Love Being Here With You," "Mañana," "It's A Good Day," and "I Love Being Here With You"). Images #1, #2, #3, and #4 above display scenes from that medley.

17. Title: Dino Live / Format: DVD / Label: Falcon / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2005 / Note: Seems to be an unauthorized release. Includes the same duet medley of Lee hits that can be found in item #10, too. (Actually, this European DVD appears to feature all or, at the very least, most of the tracks that had been previously released in That's Amore.)





Artwork Shown:

18 & 19. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: DVD & VHS / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: This musical documentary contains two Peggy Lee solo renditions culled from episodes of Dean Martin's show: "The Shining Sea" (1966) and "Here's To You" (1968). I do not have an image for the first performance, but I do have an image for the performance from the 1968 episode (#10 above). Another segment of that 1968 episode was also seen when WNET televised this documentary, but the segment was excised from the VHS/DVD at the request of the copyright holder. In the excised segment, Martin and Lee were performing "The Doodlin' Song" (as part of a medley).

X. DINAH SHORE SHOWS




Artwork Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Mwah! The Best Of The Dinah Shore Show / Format: VHS / Label: unknown / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2003 / Note: During one of two 1959 guest appearance in Dinah Shore's TV show, Peggy sang "You Don't Know" and "Hallelujah, I Love Him So." Those were solo renditions. Together, Shore and Lee sang a medley anchored in the Gershwins' classic "I Got Rhythm." Image #2 and #3 shows a scene from their performance. The guest and her hostess also sang together a rather throwaway version of "The Siamese Cat Song," which featured a lot of giggling from Shore. Aside from the "I Got Rhythm" medley, included in the video shown in image #1, none of this material has been commercially issued.

XI. ED SULLIVAN SHOWS




Stills Shown:

1-5. Name Of The Show: The Ed Sullivan Show / Note: Peggy Lee's 18 guest appearances in Ed Sullivan's program spanned the entire duration of this variety series, from the first to the penultimate season. Lee first performed in the show's 8th episode, which aired on August 8, 1948. Over twenty years later, she was one of the guest stars in an episode dedicated to The Beatles' songbook, which aired on March 1, 1970 and was re-broadcast on September 13, 1970 (i.e., the week before the start of the final season). In many of those episodes, Lee performed two or three numbers -- sometimes more. Unfortunately, not even one full appearance has been released on commercial VHS or DVD. An "I'm A Woman" segment (from a long string of consecutive song performances) is all there is. As for audio (MP3 included), merely four performances have made it.

Shown above are scenes from 5 of the 18 appearances in Sullivan's show. In the first still (1961), Lee and her combo of musicians are performing "Non Dimenticar." The second still is from a 1962 episode in which she sang 5 songs in a row, the last one being "I'm A Woman" (available on MP3 from Sullivan's company and, as shown below, also on video). The third still is from her debut appearance in the show (1960); she is singing "Fly Me To The Moon" (also available on MP3 from Sullivan's company). In the fourth still, Lee and The Righteous Brothers are singing "Yes, Indeed" (1965). In the last still, Peggy Lee is singing "Yesterday."

Num.: P5m 5872 (5LP) & 157995 (4LP) & P3m 6322 (3LP) / Rel. Year: 1973 / Note: This sweeping audio overview of the Sullivan show offers well over 50 tracks (in its main, 5LP version) and an informative 8-page booklet, with black & white photos of all the featured participants (who can be roughly divided into singers and comedians). Two Peggy Lee performances are included, one ("Why Don't You Do Right?") from a 1961 episode and the other ("Come Back To Me") from a 1965 episode. My thanks to my friend Lucas Tuinstra for his help with the retrieval of the details about the 5LP and 3LP sets.

Title: Command Performance; 25 Great Hits, 20 Original Artistes From The Wold-Famous Ed Sullivan Show / Format: LP / Label: Ronco (In Association with MP Productions and Sullivan Productions) / Cat. Num.: (England) Msd 2005 / Rel. Year: 1973 / Note: Contains the aforementioned "Come Back To Me" performance. Incidentally, Peggy Lee is among the artists whose photos appear inside circles, near the bottom of the LP's cover. (She is in the second of the 8 circles or "bubbles.")

9. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: This documentary includes Lee's video performance of "I'm A Woman" (image #2), which was the last number sung by her during a fast-paced five-song marathon appearance for a 1962 episode of Sullvan's show (image #2 above).

XII. FRANK SINATRA SHOWS




General Note:
Peggy Lee made four appearances in The Frank Sinatra Show, which aired from 1950 to 1952, went on hiatus, and came back with different sponsors in 1957. During her guest spot in a 1951 episode, she sang Benny Carter's (and Paul Vandervoort II's) "Rock Me To Sleep." She was one of the female guest singers in the inaugural return episode (1957), for which she performed "He's My Guy" and "Listen To The Rocking Bird." Next, she showed up in another episode that aired three weeks later, this time doing not only two solos ("Old Devil Moon" and "That's All") but also two duets with Sinatra: "Nice Work If You Can Get It" and "(Our) Love Is Here To Stay" (images #3 and #4 above). The fourth episode in which she appeared was apparently taped but never aired.

4. Title: Frank Sinatra / Format: VHS / Label: GoodTimes Home Video / Cat. Num.: unknown, the ISBN is 0766204014 / Rel. Year: 1999 / Note: Details about the contents are unknown to me. Presumed to feature the entire 1957 inaugural show (given the stars who receive billing on the front cover). However, notice that the Lee and Sinatra picture on the cover is from their second 1957 TV show.

XIII. GEORGE GOBEL SHOWS




Still And Artwork Shown:

1. Title: The George Gobel Show / Note: Peggy Lee's only appearance in Gobel's show took place in 1958. She sang "Fever" (image #1). This was her second time singing the song on TV; the first time had been a few months earlier on the same network and during the same TV hour, but on the program that alternated with The George Gobel Show (The Eddie Fisher Show).

2. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Includes the "Fever" clip from Gobel's show.

3 & 4. Title: My Music; 50's Pop Parade Collection / Format: DVD / Label: TJL Productions - Shout! Factory / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2007/ Note: By combining archival clips with recent concert footage, this 2007 documentary spotlights a variety of hitmaking artists from the 1950s and celebrates that era of music. The musical documentary was originally televised on PBS during pledge week, with Robert Goulet serving as host of the concert segments. Besides My Music (2007), it seems that the same company had produced and aired on PBS an earlier installment entitled Moments To Remember (2004), which also celebrated music of the 1950s and the early 1960s. There is audio and video (DVD) from both installments, most of it released by the commendable Shout! label. Peggy Lee's "Fever" clip, from The George Gobel Show, is included in My Music: 50's Pop Parade Live! (image #4), one of the three My Music DVDs which Shout! released in 2007. Lee is not featured in the other 2007 DVDs (My Music: Magic Moments and My Music: Moments To Remember Live) nor in DVDs from the 2004 Moments To Remember installment. As for audio, Lee's Capitol studio recordings are heard in CDs tied to both the 2004 and 2007 TV installments, but not the audio of the "Fever" clip.

XIV. JO STAFFORD SHOWS




Stills Shown:

1-5. The Jo Stafford Show / Note: This was one of a batch of specials that Jo Stafford taped in England. The syndicated specials were shown first in the United Kingdom (1961) and later in the United States (1963-1964 ). Each episode tended to be loosely arranged around one concept. The episode in which Peggy Lee guested dealt with the big band era. Together, Lee and Stafford sang an "Oh Dearie" medley (image #1) which incorporated special about both singers' days with the bands. This big-band-oriented "Oh, Dearie" medley included one solo for each singer; Lee's was "Why Don't You Do Right?" Lee also had her own extended segment as well, in which she sang the ballad "I've Never Left Your Arms" and two uptempo numbers, "Boston Beans" and "Day In, Day Out" (image #2, #3, and #4). Image #5 shows her at the end of her solo segment, as she takes a bow. Incidentally, another guest, British entertainer Roy Castle, did an entertaining song-and-dance-and-mime performance of "Things Are Swingin'," a number penned by Lee.


Missing Artwork:

6. Title: Television Classics; Jo Stafford Show - Polka Parade / Format: VHS / Label: Nostalgia Family Video / Cat. Num.: 2096 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Note: In addition to a show entirely dedicated to dancing polka, this video
contains an extended promo of Stafford's British specials, probably put together by the company which produced the specials, as a way to entice prospective syndicators. The promo includes extended excerpts from Peggy Lee's guest appearance in the aforementioned Stafford special.

7. Title: The Music Stand / Format: VHS / Label: American Heritage Video Archives / Cat. Num.: none given / Rel Year: unknown / Note: Contains the full Jo Stafford special with Peggy Lee. The main feature, The Main Stand, appears to be a spot on behalf of the American Cancer Society. No further details known. (I do not own a copy of this item, nor have I ever seen one.)

XV. JOHNNY CASH SHOWS

1, 2 & 3. Title: The Johnny Cash Show / Note: All three stills are from Peggy Lee's guest appearance in the October 12, 1970 episode of Cash's show.

(Previously, in 1969, Lee and Cash had also had their own joint special, made for Kraft Music Hall, and dedicated to Americana.)





Artwork Shown:

4. Title: The Johnny Cash Show, Volume 2 / Format: VHS / Label: Cct Video / Cat. Num.: none given / Rel. Year: 1999 / Note: Contains the complete 1970 episode described above, though wrongly dated 1969 in the box's (scant) information. Includes a second episode, also dated 1969. Bears the legends "promotional video, not for resale," but can be ocassionally found for sale online. Includes performances by Bobby Bare, June Carter, The Guess Who, Mac Davis, José Feliciano, Carl Perkins, Linda Rondstadt, and The Tennessee Three.

Stills Shown:

1-5. Title Of The Show: The Judy Garland Show / Note: For Peggy Lee's 1963 appearance in Judy Garland's program, hostess and guest sang together an "I Like Men" medley (images, #1, #2, and #3), which combined songs that Lee had recorded for her album I Like Men! with suitable old-time staples such as "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey" and a number that Lee had recorded the previous year (for her Sugar 'N' Spice album), "Big Bad Bill." They also sang together a version of Lee's "I Love Being Here With You" that featured special lyrics (including brief, hip allusions to the songs with which each singer was best associated at that point in time). This version of "I Love Being Here With You"" was preceded by comic patter between the two women (image #4). At the beginning of the episode, Garland also sang another number penned by Lee, "It's A Good Day." Lee's solo for her only guest appearance in this short-lived show was a rendition of "When The World Was Young" (image #5).

XVII. NAT KING COLE SHOWS



Stills Shown:

1-5. Title Of The Show: The Nat King Cole Show / Note: Peggy Lee and Julius LaRosa were Nat King Cole's guests in the November 8, 1957 episode of his show. Lee's solo was "My Heart Stood Still" (image #1). Together, Cole, Lee, and LaRosa performed "Makin' Records," a self-referential parody sung to the tune of "Makin' Whoopee." The parody was part of a very basic, lighthearted sketch in which Cole supposedly presents Lee with a Capitol executive suite and gives his own recording studio to LaRosa. As part of that sketch, while in her new executive suite, Lee sings "Don't Get Much Around Anymore" (images #2 and #3). For himself, Cole "invests" in a control room. Image #4 shows Lee in Cole's make-believe control room; she and the other two artists are singing "Makin' Records" in this scene. Despite the suggestions carried by the publicity shot shown above (image #5), no duets by Lee and Cole were televised during this episode.





Artwork Shown:

6. Title: Unforgettable Hits; Nat King Cole & Friends / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Castle Music Video - Panorama Music / Cat. Num.: (England) Cmp 6073 & Pmvdvd 910165 / Rel. Year: 1989 (VHS) & 1999 (DVD) / Note: I do not own a copy of this item. Based on a look at the track listing, I imagine that track #8, identified as "Makin' Whopee" is the parody "Makin' Records," and thus the one track with Peggy Lee (and Julius LaRosa) in it.

7. Title: The Unforgettable Collection; Nat King Cole & Friends / Format: VHS / Label: unclear (Castle according to one source, Karussell according to another) / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: I do not own a copy of this item, which is reported to feature Peggy Lee. Based on a look at the track listing, I imagine that track #25, identified as "My Heart Stood Still" is a Lee performance.

8. Title: The Nat King Cole Collection, Volume 2 / Format: VHS / Label: Castle Music Video / Cat. Num.: (England) unknown; possibly Cmp 7012 / Rel. Year: unknown; 1989 or later / Note: I do not own a copy of this item, which is also reported to feature Peggy Lee, track's title unknown.

XVIII. ONSTAGE AMERICA

5. Title: Shokus Video Presents Vintage Television, Volume XXV / Format: VHS / Label: Shokus / Cat. Num.: 466 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: Shown in this image is actually one of the generic covers that Shokus used for its videos. I do not have an image for the specific volume in question (XXV), which features not only the episode from The Perry Como Show under discussion but also episodes from shows hosted by Eddie Fisher, Freddy Martin, and Tony Martin (none involving Lee).

6. Title: Perry Como Collection / Format: DVD / Discs: 4 / Label: Nostalgia Merchant / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel. Year: 2010 or 2011 / Note: Contains 7 episodes of Perry Como's show(s), including the above-mentioned 1954 episode in which Peggy Lee guests.

XX. PETULA CLARK SPECIALS




Stills Shown:

1 - 8. Name Of The Show: Petula / Note: Peggy Lee was one of Petula Clark's guests in this 1970 special. Lee's solo was "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?" (images #4 and #5). Together, the pair of vocalists sang "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (images #6, #7, #8) and a medley of "I'm a Woman" and "Wedding Bell Blues" (first 3 images).





  9. The Clark-Lee duets have been commercially issued in the DVD shown to the left of this writing. As can be seen from some of the images displayed above, the special exists in color, but this   DVD offers a poor-quality, crummy black & white picture. For further details about the DVD, consult the Full-Length Video page.





Artwork Shown:

10. Title: Petula Clark Duets / Format: CD / Label: Varese Sarabande / Cat. Num.: 7376088 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Note: In this anthology of TV duets from Petula Clark shows, Lee and the hostess are heard singing their medley of "I'm A Woman" and "Wedding Bell Blues."

XXI. RED SKELTON SHOWS




Artwork And Related Comments:

1 & 2. Name Of The Show: The Red Skelton Show / Note: Peggy Lee made a guest appearance in an episode of this show that was televised on September 8, 1954. Besides fully participating as Two-Gun Nellie in one of the show's lengthy sketches with Skelton (who portrayed one of his stock characters, George Applebee, seen in image #2), Peggy Lee performed the numbers "Guess I'll Go Back Home Next Summer," "Just One Of Those Things," and "For You."





Artwork:

3. Title: Shokus Video Presents The Red Skelton Show, Volume II / Format: VHS / Label: Shokus / Cat. Num.: 528 / Rel. Year: unknown / Note: Shown in this image is actually one of the generic covers that Shokus used for its videos. I do not have an image for the specific volume in question (II), which contains not only the episode from The Red Skelton under examination but also two other episodes, one with Peter Lorre and the other with Mickey Rooney (neither episode involving Lee).

Lee also sang a medley with Jack Teagarden. Their medley included two numbers that they sang together ("Jeepers Creepers," "Christmas Night In Harlem") and one number for each to sing solo (Peggy: "Them There Eyes"; Jack: "Lazy River"). During the vinyl era, the show was issued twice, as shown below. More recently (2011), the low-budget label Hallmark has released the episode on MP3 (image #1).

Stills Shown:

6 & 7. Name Of The Show: Person To Person / Note: The homes of two celebrities were visited during each episode of this program. For six seasons since its inception in 1953, Howard R. Murrow was the show's host and interviewer. Murrow's protegé Charles Collinwood (image #6) took over him at the start of the seventh season (October 16, 1959) and stayed in that position until the show's farewell season (June - September 1961). The homes of Raymond "Perry Mason" Burr (image #7) and Peggy Lee were visited during season 8's fourth episode (October 20, 1960). At that point in time, the episodes lasted for half an hour, with 15 minutes allotted to each home.

8. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Among the bonus tracks in this documentary is the Lee portion of the 1960 episode, in an edited version.








Stills And Artwork Shown:

9-13. Name Of The Show: What's My Line? / Note: In the game show What's My Line? (image #9), a masked panel (image #10) had to guess who was the episode's mystery guest. At the start of the show, the mystery guest would approach, and would sign his or her name, with the camera showing only the guest's arm, hand, and signature (image #13), while the audience applauded. The game involved having the guest answer the questions which the panel would pose, as part of their attempt at correctly guessing his or her identity. (The mystery guests usually disguised their natural voices.) Peggy Lee made at least two guest appearances in this game show, one aired on June 16, 1957 (image #11) and the other on February 28, 1960 (image #12). Some listings make reference to a third appearance on November 27, 1966, but I have yet to find corroboration for this reference, and at the present time I presume it to be a mistake. (In most other listings, Mia Farrow is listed as the mystery guest of that November 27, 1966 episode.)

14. Title: Fever; The Music Of Peggy Lee / Format: VHS & DVD / Label: Capitol / Cat. Num.: 72435 99365 9 8 (DVD) & 72435 99365 3 6 (VHS) / Rel. Year: 2004 / Note: Contains, as a bonus track, the full 1960 appearance that Peggy Lee made in What's My Line?.
