Miss Peggy Lee

This is a wonderful bit of footage from 1950. Peggy Lee first heard the song in the 1940s. It was a hit on "Race Records" by a blues singer named Lil Green. In the way of such things Miss Lee "borrowed" it and had a hit with Benny Goodman.  It became part of her repertoire. I love the way she sings, "get out of here". The guitarist she keeps rolling her eyes at is her first husband, Dave Barbour.
