SOUL MUSIC: SERIES 15 - 1. PEGGY LEE'S IS THAT ALL THERE IS? (320lbs-m4a/63mb/27mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 8th September 2021
'Is That All There Is?', a Leiber & Stoller song made famous by Peggy Lee, is based upon a short story by Thomas Mann called 'Disillusionment'. But those who know and love it feel it's inspirational rather than a cynical, world weary musical take on existentialism and the futility of life.
'Soul Music' uncovers the compelling individual stories behind our collective love of music.
Producer: Maggie Ayre
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2013.
