Peggy Lee's signature rendition of "Big Spender" is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a brand-new remix from electronic duo Girl Math and a newly released animated visualizer inspired by the song's Broadway roots. The celebration honors both Lee's landmark 1966 album Big Spender and the timeless title track that helped define her remarkable career.
“The day he had completed writing it for Sweet Charity, he called me from New York and sang me that, among other things, and he had something else in mind for me," Lee recalled in her autobiography. "I said, ‘But I want “Big Spender,” and he said, “Well, sure, if you want to.’ So he let me sing it six months before the play came out. And you could just feel that it was a hit.”
The new Girl Math remix pairs Lee's unmistakable vocal with contemporary house beats while preserving the cool sophistication that made the original such a classic. Capitol Records and Universal Music Enterprises also released an animated visualizer inspired by Bob Fosse's iconic choreography from Sweet Charity, introducing the song to a new generation of listeners.
The New York Times likewise praised Lee's enduring gifts, with critic Frank Rich writing that while her voice was "a small instrument" with a "rhythmic attack [that] can't be beat."
