"Of all the songs that Peggy Lee has sung—and she has recorded more than 500 of them since Benny Goodman invited her onto his bandstand in 1941—not one suits her better than Leon Russell's 'A Song for You.' It contains the secret of why she's still up there on top after more than three decades. Even if there are 10,000 people watching, once she starts to sing, the other 9,999 vanish somewhere." - Jerry Parker, Newsday, 1973

Celebrating @LeonRussellOfficial's birthday (April 2, 1942) with Peggy Lee's interpretation of his classic. Performed live on the @CarolBurnettShow, November 1, 1972.
