Description
Episode Description
Among fellow musicians and technicians, Peggy Lee is famous for her meticulous workmanship, combined with her creativity. She spends whatever time and money are necessary for the finest musicians, arrangers, choreographers, and lightLee, ing experts in preparing a new act. NET cameras and crew have recorded in fascinating detail the complex preparations and numbers of people involved in the development of an important night club engagement starring Miss Lee: in this instance, her appearance at the opening of the lavish new International Hotel in Las Vegas. The cameras follow Miss Lee through many stages: work sessions at her beautiful Beverly Hills home in California; a preview performance of the act before an invited audience at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles; backstage congratulations at the Forum; last-minute preparations at her International Hotel suite; and finally shots from the much publicized opening itself. There are illuminating scenes of how a great artist works -- scenes of Miss Lee with composer Johnny Mandel ("The Shadow of Your Smile"), with pianist-conductor Lou Levy, and executive producer David Prowitt. A major segment of the documentary shows Miss Lee on stage at the Mark Taper Forum where she previewed her finished act. Many of the numbers she sings are from her Capitol album "A Natural Woman." Following is a rundown of the musical program: 1. "Almost Like Being in Love" 2. "A Natural Woman" 3. "My Heart Sings" 4. "Didn 't We" 5. Medley: "Someday My Prince will Come"; "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" 6. "Is that All There Is? 7. "Spinning Wheel" (the "Blood Sweat and Tears" tune) 8. "Don 't Explain" 9. "Lean on Me" 10. "Fever" 11. "Why Don 't You Do Right?" 12. "Well, All Right, OK, You Win" 13.
