@tc_morekindness@c.im This Leiber/Stoller composition was her last major hit. She even won a Grammy ("Best Contemporary Vocal Perfomance") for it.
The song was put to good use in the Martin Scorsese movie "After Hours" back in the 1980s. That's where I first heard it.

A Natural Woman is a 1969 album by Peggy Lee. It was arranged and conducted by Bobby Bryant and Mike Melvoin. John Engstead took the cover photograph.
Review by John Bush
A Natural Woman was her most successful fusion yet, thanks to the work of arrangers/conductors/upstarts Mike Melvoin and Bobby Bryant (neither of whom were true youngsters, though Melvoin had apparently gleaned much from session work with the Beach Boys, Curt Boettcher, and Judy Collins)...Lee does perform a superb version of Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" (Newman actually arranged "Is That All There Is?"), and utterly transforms the one standard from an earlier era, Billie Holiday's classic "Don't Explain."..

2 Shows Nightly is a 1968 live album by Peggy Lee.
At Lee's request, this album was abruptly withdrawn from circulation almost immediately after its release in 1968. - Wikipedia
Not sure why, as it's a great live LP from the veteran singer.
