    "I knew I couldn't sing over them, so I decided to sing under them. The more noise they made the more softly I sang. When they discovered they couldn't hear me, they began to look at me. Then they began to listen. As I sang, I kept thinking, 'softly with feeling.' The noise dropped to a hum; the hum gave way to silence. I had learned how to reach and hold my audience -- softly, with feeling."Peggy Lee

    You should read Peggy’s biography. Benny didn't like sharing the stage with singers. Especially, the female singers. He thought they should only do instrumentals but the crowds liked the singers and that made him dislike them even more. He would make Peggy practice the same songs for up to 15 hours. She said the time with his band was the worst time of her career and life, for that matter.

    Thanks for introducing me to that Dave Barbour version. But It seemed like Peggy was getting as bored and sleepy as I was while struggling to get through it. You could see it, Especially in the shots where she's looking over toward Dave, looking like she couldn't wait for him to finish his anemic, lack-of-creative-spark solo bit. I always felt that music after '49 really began to go down the toilet. By the way, before I forget, The camera work in this film was just above High School kid, amateur, and they mostly focused above her waist, or breast... and it seemed they only had limited movement or positioning of their equpment, or maybe because there wasn't anything worth filming... in fact, there was hardly any movement from Anybody! NO One Even Cracked a Smile, except for Peggy. Maybe because she knew she was getting paid for it anyway. There was no "Swing" or Life to any of this number at all. It's was more like some Bohemian bar scene than a Live Performance. Look at this "Benny" number, Benny, Peggy, the Band, and the Audience are Swingin' Happy Cats! Any person with Any Life and/or Rhythm is going to have Fun with Benny's number... JUST Look at Benny! He IS the Quintessential Band Leader, Leading the whole Swinging Mess! Maybe that's why Benny Goodman is known as The KING OF SWING! And, You can see in Peggy's body language and hear it in her voice, that she agrees and is adoring her Fun with Him too. On a List of Top Ten Big Bands of All Time, where Votes came from Real Swing Loving, Band Knowing, People, Consistently, between the Top 2 Bands, The Benny Goodman Orchestra was #2 after Glenn Miller #1. Consistently. The Dave Barbour Band isn't on Any List, about Anything, Anywhere. Look at Dave in the Barbour version, jeeeze! he's not having any fun neither, and his sleepy one note picked off the simple scale guitar playing and solos are tired, droopy, weak, like he's annoyed with the whole project. That huge oversized guitar was way too much guitar for the work he was doing. Way, waaayyy too much tool for the simple job. Everybody around him looks Grumpy! The Piano Player seemed like the only one with life in him but I felt like he was holding back from what he really wanted to paste onto them 88's. Peggy looks like she's just remembering she forgot to feed the dog before she left the house. The Benny version, when played off my 78 RPM's lights up the room and the people in it, and makes 'em smile and laugh and say things like "they don't play 'em like that anymore"... I can play it over and over on my 1959 Telefunken Verdi Phonograph/Radio console (awesomely made in W. Germany) forever and people get a Kick out of it... If I wanted to impress anybody with an old 78 RPM record, and try to Promote the Music of the Golden Era, (like I do!) and to keep it from dying, "Hands Down"! I'd play the Benny version, and No Way At All, for Any reason would I play that boring, Golden Era Killing, Dave Barbour lullabye. "Get outta here, Give me some money too"

    I was gratefully raised on this great music, and then I grew through my teens in the sixties on rock 'n' roll, and went on to learn and love other genres. I am disappointed that young people generally don't know about big band music and surprised that many don't even know about rock 'n' roll music. But hopefully KZread will continue to introduce more people to these great genres of music. 🎶

    Peggy Lee has written many songs during her career, but not this one. "Why Don't You Do Right" was written in 1936 by Kansas Joe McCoy, an American blues singer, musician, and songwriter. Peggy Lee recorded this version with Benny Goodman in 1942 on a 78 RPM record under the Columbia label. Julie London is among many singers who have also recorded the song in succeeding years. Julie's recording was included in the song lineup on Liberty Records' "Whatever Julie Wants" 33-1/3 RPM LP album in 1961. Kansas Joe McCoy died of heart disease in Chicago at the age of 44 in 1950.

    So unassuming in stage presence yet commanding in vocal style and delivery, Miss Peggy Lee, truly a singer without equal.We are seeing her in one of her earliest performances. She had that ineffable something that was to see her remain widely popular for decades to come. And that song! She made it an American standard that has ensured it continues to be covered with its biting lyrics packing quite a punch nearly 80 years on : A woman giving that no-good man of hers a dressing down with an exhortation that he mend his ways and 'do right'. Love the line: "Get out of here/and get me some money too". Not a song for the pure romantic - and all the better for it. Thank you Peggy for the memories. Long may you win new fans who chance upon you on KZread.

    There is no one that you've spoken of who isn't spectacular... but this is black derived and black-inflected music and this is the 40's! Have you heard Basie and Ellington and the countless black Big Bands playing at all the black venues around the country? It was a parade of Pre-, During, and Post- War extraordinary individual and ensemble musicians. I'm guessing you haven't or you wouldn't find it so easy to make summary, superlative judgments. Of course, Peggy Lee is incomparable ... but so were Lena and Billie and Ella, fronting bands and singing the hell out of the music in the same period. Thank God for vinyl and libraries.
