The new collection will feature 22 holiday classics and is another part of the centennial celebration of Peggy Lee’s birth on May 26, 1920. It joins several other new music releases honoring this highly influential voice in the world of jazz and popular music.
Ultimate Christmas is drawn from her Capitol and Decca catalogs and from the 1955 soundtrack of Walt Disney’s Lady and the Tramp. Lee voices four characters and co-wrote six songs for the animated musical romance. The new album marks the digital debut of “Peace on Earth,” which she wrote with Sonny Burke, although the version in the film was not recorded by Lee.
There are ten tracks on the holiday set from Lee’s much-admired Christmas Carousel album of 1960, plus several holiday singles. Two duets with Bing Crosby are included, “Little Jack Frost Get Lost” and “Here Comes Santa Claus.” Six of the songs were written or co-written by Lee, including “Christmas Carousel,” “Here’s To You” and “My Dear Acquaintance.”
