Fever – Peggy Lee (Orig. Version)

“Fever” was originally recorded by American R&B singer Little Willie John in 1956.  Fast forward to May 1958 when chanteuse Peggy Lee got a hold of it and it soared to the top of the pop music charts.  While Peggy was technically a jazz singer, a great deal of her work crossed over to the pop side, and in this case, “Fever” pretty much became her signature song.  This is the original Capitol recorded version, to which I added a few visuals for those not quite as hooked on the music itself as I am … although I don’t see how that’s possible.
