Composed by Kern and Hammerstein for 1937's film "High, Wide, and Handsome", this definitive rendition came two decades later.
Peggy Lee brings a timeless mix of hope and wistfulness to this tune, setting out the plans she has to grow old with her beloved.

#GreatAlbums1950s - #PeggyLee – Black Coffee (1953/56). Originally eight songs on vinyl 10-inch, Black Coffee featured Lee at her sultry best – epitomizing the emboldened, urbane feminine persona of the pre-rock era. Later sessions from 1956 added more pizazz, with echoes of bop and cool jazz on Lee’s renditions of “Gee Baby, Ain’t I Good to You” and a smoldering “You’re My Thrill.” Lee’s influence continues to resonate in the vocal styles of Joni Mitchell and Billie Eilish.

Day 19: Peggy Lee - It's A Good Day

Black Coffee with Peggy Lee
Since I've already time-traveled to '59, '53 is just a skip and a hop away.
Given how "smooth" and elegant the vocal delivery and accompaniment is, this is a pretty sad album. We're not talking Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours, exactly, but these "woman loves a bad man" tracks do make it clear it's a concept record.
Anyway - no shock, given its fame, that it's a great listen.
