Songs included: What Is a Woman? / Love Story / Don’t Explain / Me and My Shadow / He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands / Lost in the Stars / But Beautiful / I’m Glad There Is You / Until It’s Time for You to Go
“Anthony Quinn, the compelling actor with a face compared to a relief map of the Alps, and Peggy Lee, the sultry singer, were paired last night on the Kraft Music Hall over the NBC network… A performer such as Mr. Quinn can hold his own with Miss Lee, no slouch herself in understanding that lyrics are no less important than a beat. In their climactic rendition, the duet manager to capture the elusive durability of love, no matter what the reasons. It was a strangely effective and poignant oddity, well worth the waiting. Most of the rest of the show was uneven, not to say dull. Mr. Quinn was cast in some sketches on the woman-and-man relationship and did a reprise of his film role in Requiem for a Heavyweight. But Miss Lee is a winning and experienced hand in retrieving awkward moments by drifting into a song that eases the strain. If Dwight Hemion, the director, had a hand in matching Mr. Quinn and Miss Lee, more power to him. The infrequent spark is never caught without experimentation.” – Jack Gould, New York Times, 9/24/70

10/21/70, NBC, w/ Marty Robbins, The Guess Who

12/9/70, ABC, w/ host Petula Clark
Songs included: I’m a Woman (w/ Clark) / Wedding Bell Blues (w/ Clark) / What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life? / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (w/ Clark)
“Marvelously directed by Dwight Hemion, Petula featured another rare talent, Peggy Lee. The two teamed for ‘I’m a Woman,’ ‘Wedding Bell Blues’ and and extremely moving ‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home,’ performed as the two women stood dressed in pure white, rooted in mist and behind barbed wire… It must have been one of those moments everyone waits for; the correct time and setting, three perfectionist cameramen on the floor, and two performers of such excellence… Watching Peggy Lee lying propped up in a brass bed, rain dropping from the windows and a man sleeping silently beside her as she sings ‘What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?’ is nothing short of truly beautiful. One doesn’t even dare breathe loudly or even sigh. When professionalism like hers is put to use like this it is a joy. Miss Lee is a prime target for a high-ranking special of her own.” – Hollywood Reporter, 12/10/70

Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law
2/17/72, ABC, w/ Arthur Hill, Hoagy Carmichael, Joe Camponello, Christine Matchett, Lee Majors, Joan Darling, David Soul.
“Tailoring scripts to fit guest stars is not an especially common practice in television, but when a star is of the magnitude of Peggy Lee, you can be sure reservations will be made. This will be precisely the case February 17 when the songstress stars in an ABC Owen Marshall episode, “Smiles from Yesterday.” Miss Lee, over 50 now, but still soft, sweet and womanly, will portray a former singer-songwriter ho becomes involved in a music plagiarism suit in the teleplay by John cGreevy. Co-starring with her and Arthur Hill are Hoagy Carmichael and Joe Camponello. The title song… will receive a voice-over rendition by Miss Lee, who otherwise will confine herself to acting in the hour drama.” – Kay Gardella, New York Daily News, 2/10/72

“‘What she has is a good voice, a good ear, good time, good taste, a wonderful way with ballads, and an actress’s ability with lyrics.’ That’s how a New Yorker article summed up the talent of Peggy Lee, who is making her first appearance with the [Boston] Pops.
