"I think I respect this album more than any other, it's called Peggy Lee Mirrors - it was done a while back I don't know exactly when - not recently that's for sure! 

When you think of Leiber and Stoller you think of Yakety Yak - really famous songs, the only song on this album anyone would know would be Is That All There Is? - which sounds really Brechtian. 

These are trunk songs that nobody ever heard - they're wonderful. Johnny Mandel did the orchestration - it's the perfect marriage. 

If I had done this album I would consider my life well spent, I really do respect it - it's gorgeous.  

But I have a lot of singers I love - and a lot of musicians I love."
