Basin Street East Proudly Presents Miss Peggy Lee

Basin Street East Proudly Presents Miss Peggy Lee is a 1961 live album by Peggy Lee, arranged by Jack Marshall and Bill Holman, recorded at the Basin Street East nightclub in New York City.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album two stars and said that "Originally it was planned that the singer (at the height of her popularity) would record a live set at Basin Street East in New York. Unfortunately, she caught a cold and her voice was a bit hoarse, so some of the numbers were re-recorded in the studio the following month and spliced quite effectively into the set...and everything sounds pretty well planned in advance. Lee, who is best here on the ballads, never wanders at all from the melodies, and these renditions of her usual repertoire have nothing unique or unusual to offer except perhaps an overly rapid version of "Fever."
