Peggy Lee - Fever

Here is a rare 1958 Peggy Lee TV performance of her infamous cover of Little Willie John's very successful Fever. There are, and there will continue to be, many memorable covers of this song but Lee's version is the best known. This version was completely rewritten from the 1956 original with new lyrics from Lee. In 1959 at the first annual Grammy Awards, Lee's Fever was nominated in the "song of the year" category and in the "record of the year" category. She has been nominated a total of eight times and she has won two Grammys, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995.
