Fever-The Peggy Lee Songbook
In the Golden age of Big bands she was a vocalist of renown with Benny Goodman and went on to become a prolific recording artist, a successful songwriter and an Oscar nominated actress. A waver of moods and colors, her impeccable rhythmic subtlety and smoldering sexuality lent itself to such hits as "Fever", "It's A Good Day," "Manana," "Ok, You Win," and "Hey Big Spender." Lee's exquisitely crafter words and soulful interpretations shine in this intimate "Hats off" tribute to one of the most admired and captivating musical icons of our time.
Fever features Connie James who has spent the last 20 years as a club and studio singer in New York. She has also been nominated for a Pixie Award for Best Song/Soundtrack in a Motion Picture for the song “Three Words”, which she co-wrote and recorded with Composer/Pianist Onaje Allen Gumbs, for the short subject film “Whoa”. The film received the Angel Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003. The film was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
A classically trained singer with a degree in music from the University of South Carolina, several years ago Ms. James decided to add acting to her repertoire of talents, landing roles on NBC’s “Law & Order”, “Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit” and “Homicide: Life on the Street”. Ms. James’ voice can be heard as the announcer in commercials for “Partnership for a Drug Free America” and for Denny’s “Skillets for Breakfast”.
