Happy birthday Norma Deloris Egstrom, aka Peggy Lee!

[bitter69uk]

Born on this day 104 years ago: incomparably sultry torch singer Peggy Lee (Norma Deloris Egstrom, 26 May 1920 - 21 January 2002). As her biographer James Gavin writes in the essential Is That All There Is? The Strange Life of Peggy Lee (2015), Lee conveyed maximum emotional (and erotic) impact with little more than a languid murmur: "a tough purr that kicked open the bedroom door." “Those who saw her at New York’s Basin Street East or the Copacabana in the 60s know firsthand the Peggy Lee of legend: a seductive blonde who controlled the stage like a puppeteer,” Gavin continues. “Her throaty voice floated on a wisp of breath yet could drive a whole orchestra. Characters materialized one by one - a barroom vamp on the make, an indomitable housewife, a faded woman exposing her loneliness.” This bewitching artistry is captured in one of my all-time favourite Lee tracks: the eerie “The Case of MJ” from her 1975 album Mirrors. The lyrics offer the alienated inner monologue and mood swings of an institutionalized mentally ill woman, with Lee alternating between numb childlike compliance (“Mary Jane's been a good girl today / She ate all her peas / She said, "thank you" and "please" / And she didn't mess up her pretty white dress”) and stabs at defiance (“Mary Jane tried to run away / Mary Jane has been naughty today …”) while the music gradually turns as tense as any horror movie soundtrack.

#Nowplaying Love Song - ペギー・リー (Norma Deloris Egstrom from Jamestown)

[roundaboutmidnight]

21 de janeiro

Bom dia a todos!...

Neste dia:

Morreu, em 1950, o grande escritor britânico George Orwell.

Morreu, em 1959, o grande cineasta norte-americano Cecil B. DeMille.

Morreu, em 2002, a grande cantora norte-americana Peggy Lee.

Peggy Lee nasceu em Jamestown no dia 26 de maio de 1920 e morreu em Bel Air, Los Angeles, em 21 de janeiro de 2002. Nome artístico de Norma Deloris Egstrom, foi uma cantora de jazz tradicional estadunidense conhecida por interpretar as canções "Is That All There Is?", "Fever" e “Johnny Guitar”. Ao longo de uma carreira de mais de cinco décadas, Peggy gravou mais de 600 canções e chegou a ser comparada às mais importantes cantoras americanas de sua época, como Billie Holiday e Bessie Smith.

Cecil Blount DeMille, mais conhecido como Cecil B. DeMille nasceu em Ashfield no dia 12 de agosto de 1881 e morreu em Los Angeles em 21 de já neiro de 1959. Foi um cineasta americano, um dos 36 fundadores da Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas. Entre 1913 e 1959, ele fez setenta produções, entre filmes mudos e sonoros. Seus filmes mais populares são: The King Of Kings, The Tem Commandments, Cleopatra, Samson and Delilah, The Gratest Show on Earth e a segunda versão de Os Dez Mandamentos, o sétimo filme de maior bilheteria de todos os tempos, o primeiro na lista baseada na Bíblia, tornando-se o maior êxito comercial de sua carreira e da história da Paramount (43 milhões de dólares só arrecadados no mercado norte-americano).

Eric Arthur Blair nasceu em Motihari, Índia Britânica no dia 25 de junho de 1903 e morreu em Camden, Londres, em 21 de janeiro de 1950. mais conhecido pelo pseudônimo de George Orwell, foi um escritor, jornalista e ensaísta político inglês. Sua obra é marcada por uma inteligência perspicaz e bem-humorada, uma consciência profunda das injustiças sociais, uma intensa oposição ao totalitarismo e uma paixão pela clareza da escrita. Apontado como simpatizante da proposta anarquista, o escritor faz uma defesa da auto-gestão ou autonomismo. Tinha hostilidade ao estalinismo e pela experiência do socialismo soviético, um regime que Orwell denunciou em seu romance satírico A Revolução dos Bichos. Seu livro 1984, retrata um futuro distante, onde ditaduras totalitárias dominaram o mundo e controlam tudo o que as pessoas fazem e até mesmo pensam.

Confira algumas frases do livro 1984:

“Enquanto eles não se conscientizarem, não serão rebeldes autênticos e, enquanto não se rebelarem, não têm como se conscientizar.”

“Num tempo de engano universal, dizer a verdade é um ato revolucionário.”

“Dia a dia e quase minuto a minuto o passado era atualizado.”

“O Grande Irmão está observando você.”

Posto aqui:

Peggy Lee cantando Fever. Cara, ficou tão impressionante que quase todas as regravações têm o mesmo arranjo ou semelhante.

Peggy Lee em outra música emblemática, Johnny Guitar. Cara, muito bom.

Trailer de Os Dez Mandamentos, filme de Cecil b. DeMille de 1956, com Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Yvone de Carlo. Cara, um clássico.

Um tributo a Cecil B. DeMille com seus filmes de 1923 a 1958, como produtor e diretor.

[offbeatoddities]

Norma Egstrom (Peggy Lee) was born in Jamestown, North Dakota on May 26, 1920. Her mother died when Norma was four, and she had a difficult relationship with her stepmother. She taught herself how to sing by listening to the radio. She made her radio debut at the age of 14. 

She had her big break in 1941, when the vocal group she was working with started making appearances at a Chicago club. Caught the attention of Benny Goodman as his regular vocalist was leaving the band. A few days after they recorded and the popular "Elmer's tune." They release more songs that year and several were successful. She left the band in 1943 when she married the band's bassist, Dave Barbour. 

A year after their marriage she returned to her music career. She returned as part of an all-star jazz team, but in 1945 she was signed to Capitol Records as a solo artist. Her first single "Waiting for the Train to Come In" hit the charts. She continued to be successful on the charts during the late 1940's. Many of her songs were made with Barbour. 

Switching to Decca in 1952, scored with the single "Lover." After 5 years she returned to Capitol where she distinguished herself through a variety of music. Her marriage with Barbour was ended by his problems with alcoholism, although they remained good friends until his death. 

Her versatile range in music proved to come in handy as she recorded contemporary music until 1972 "Norma Deloris Egstrom from Jamestown, North Dakota" returned her to her roots. That was her last record under Capitol and she still recorded for other labels. She retired in the early 1980's. Returned to business in 1988 and recorded two LP's. Her last "Moments like These" was recorded in 1992. Her voice was silenced after a stroke in 1998 and she died at home from a stroke on January 21, 2002.
