🎶 It's time to wind up the masquerade 🎭 Peggy Lee’s inclination for creative control was not limited to musicianship. When her 1960 ‘Latin ala Lee’ album was coming together, she proposed a concept to the art department at Capitol Records. The iconic photo of her flanked by a pair of bullfighters won the Grammy that year for Best Album Cover. Art Director Marvin Schwartz (who was responsible for the design of the actual statuette) accepted the award. #PeggyLee #LatinalaLee #CapitolRecords #Gra
