“...and the Leiber-Stoller composition “Is That All There Is?”

She actually did an entire album with Leiber-Stoller called “Mirrors”. A beautiful, strange album with very dark lyrics. Definitely not mainstream Peggy Lee.

I bought it because I heard “Is That All There Is” in Martin Scorcese’s AFTER HOURS (the only film of his I really like).

I heard Ms. Lee at the Beverly Hill Supper club in Covington, Kentucky, in early 1977. It was a wonderful performance. One song she sang was either titled “Poor Butterly” or contained those words in the lyrics. It was a hauntingly beautiful song and I’ve tried to find a copy but to no avail.

The Supper Club burned to the ground in May, 1977, just a few weeks after Lee’s appearance. 165 persons died and hundreds were injured.
