It's Been a Long, Long Time - Peggy Lee - MP3 instrumental karaoke

American jazz singer Peggy Lee was renowned for her sultry, emotive vocal style. She had the uncanny ability to make every song she recorded into her own. One such song is "It's Been a Long, Long Time," a popular standard written by Jule Styne with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. "It's Been a Long, Long Time" was composed in 1945 as a tender ballad that captured the emotions of soldiers returning home after World War II. Over the years, it's been recorded by dozens of popular performers such as Louis Armstrong, Doris Day, and The DeMarco Sisters.

Her smooth, mellifluous voice is accompanied by a lush orchestral arrangement, which perfectly encapsulates the sentiment of the era. Recorded with Jack Marshall's Orchestra, Peggy Lee's version of "It's Been a Long, Long Time" was produced by Dave Cavanaugh. It stands as a perfect example of Peggy Lee's remarkable ability to breathe new life into timeless standards.
