I think Peggy Lee won a Grammy for it.
Such an emotional song which tugs at the heart strings and sometimes brings tears to my eyes.
Despite resistance from studio executives at Capitol Records,
who initially thought Peggy's song was too experimental and depressing, Peggy Lee would not back down.
Peggy told those Capitol execs that she would sing it before she dies.
If not for Capitol Records then perhaps for Columbia or RCA, but insisted on making a record!
Peggy Lee won.
A year later, Capitol released "Is That All There Is?" as a single.
The song went on to become an instant classic peaking at #1 on the Hit Parade charts.
Good for you, Peggy and thanks for sharing, Larry.
