Peggy Lee With Dave Barbour, 1945-51

One of Lee's finest collaborations was with her husband-guitarist

Following my post on Monday on the new Peggy Lee collection Too Marvelous for Words, I received quite a few emails from readers asking me for my favorite Lee periods. As I hinted in my post, I’m a big fan of her early 1960s Capitol recordings. But the era I enjoy most are her many recordings made with husband, guitarist Dave Barbour, in the second half of the 1940s and early ‘50s. [Photo above of Dave Barbour and Peggy Lee]
