When Ed Sullivan welcomed Peggy Lee to his show, he announced her as ‘One of the greatest of all time.’ His words rang true throughout her performance of ‘How Long Has This Been Going On?’

Peggy Lee conveys a hot, smooth vocal that flabbergasts the audience. She’s wearing a perfectly sized dark dress that makes her famous light hair stick out.

Halfway through, the camera chooses to focus in all over until the end of the song. Peggy sees this incident and plays to the camera, even lifting her eyebrow playfully.

The sponsorship jazz ensemble keeps the energy smooth all through the tune. The low register guitar drives the beat while different instruments lay back, playing delicately. The muffled trumpets add to the style that is simply known by the siblings George and Ira Gershwin.

Peggy Lee was conceived Norma Egstrom. She was an American jazz and pop vocalist, songwriter, writer, and entertainer. Her vocation endured seventy years and included singing with Benny Goodman’s famous band.

Peggy recorded north of 1,100 songs and was credited as writer on 270 tunes. She was named for 13 Grammy Awards, and in 1995, she was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The audience cherishes the presentation, and Peggy breaks character toward the finish to recognize their praise with a gigantic grin. Peggy Lee’s beautiful interpretation shows her mind blowing talent and star power.

Peggy Lee “How Long Has This Been Going On?” Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, November 7, 1965.
