Norma Deloris Egstrom (Peggy Lee) Quotes
I knew I couldn't sing over them, so I decided to sing under them. The more noise they made the more softly I sang. When they discovered they couldn't hear me, they began to look at me.

I had learned how to reach and hold my audience -- softly, with feeling.
