Volume 114: Peggy at Basin Street East

Here’s a beautiful voice we have not heard yet although we did hear a tune she wrote. And even better, this recording is in a live setting. She sings softly with feeling because of her nightclub experience. So get ready for the Queen of American pop music in Volume 114: Peggy at Basin Street East.
