Sans Souci — words by Peggy Lee, music by Joseph F. "Sonny" Burke. First recorded for Decca by Peggy Lee in 1952, little is documented about the song's inspiration — adding to its enigmatic drama.

Recorded February 9, 1955, with Gene DiNovi (piano), Pete Candoli (trumpet), Stella Castellucci (harp), Jack Costanzo (percussion), Bill Pitman (guitar), and rhythm section.

From the album Too Marvelous for Words — 49 newly restored recordings from the 1955 World Broadcast Sessions. Visualizer playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDa0NBTi0n08idjq5kY7tEUE7vAZnx-J&si=4_q53bh_XW98m8TQ
