I always end up bawling when I watch this. My mom was the same age as Peggy Lee, and lived an unhappy life. When this song came on the radio in 1969, my mom always became very angry. She didn't want to believe that that's all there is, but the reality is, that's all there was - my mom's life didn't get better. She deserved better, and didn't get it.

@@glendahalpert6590 Thanks for the thoughts. My mom also fell into heavy alcoholism, and it was a major factor in her demise. She suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke at age 64, and lived nearly all the next six years in nursing homes before dying a few months after turning age 70. Above I said that she lived an unhappy life, but it only became unhappy when the wheels came off my parents' marriage in the late 1950s.

My partner was a big fan of Ms. Lee that he sent her flowers when she was performing in San Francisco at the Fairmount. She was so gracious for the flowers and gave him tickets to see her show and he got to meet her after the performance. My partner passed away from AIDS and I was so grateful to Ms. Lee to give him opportunity to me her. Every time I hear Ms. Lee brings me back to that time to a happy and sad time in my life.

I always admired Miss Peggy Lee for insisting and insisting and insisting Capitol release this song which she knew would result in a profound moment in her already long and remarkable career. The label finally gave in, pressing the minimum number of copies allowable, and just as Peg envisioned, the record climbed right onto the pop charts, went all the way to #13 and won Peggy Lee a far overdue Grammy award.

One night we were across the street at the bar at Harvey's. She entered, the bar hushed and one of the busboys (normally a quiet mannered kid, but with a few beers under his belt) jumped up and shouted, "Well, I'll be damned, it's PEGGY LEE!". Those, indeed, were the days.

He was a man of his time: WW2 Navy vet, strong, silent, handsome & "oddly" generous, since he grew up with so little. I was with him when he passed, along with my Mom & hospice... I was in my 20's...

That song, Bonnie and Clyde and Winchester Cathedral all creeped the hk out of me as a 5/6 yr old. Didn’t know what any of them meant but the chord progressions drew me in and helped to create this overly serious melancholy artist I am today. Even now as I write this I haven’t heard these songs in years but now I just have to. Thanks😒!

Dec. 26, 1979, Columbus, GA, a chilly night. My 18th birthday (legal drinking age then), driving around in my friend's 72 Buick Electra 225 land shark, drinking beer and smoking cigars. Around 1 am we saw fire trucks beside a suburban house. Stopped and got out with our cigars to see what was going on. Firefighters brought out the bodies of two little girls and laid them on the lawn, gave CPR to no avail. I'd never heard of this song but it captures perfectly how that tragedy affected me. Lee was/is a genius of the highest order and I recommend her early 90s album "There'll be Another Spring," a work of reinterpreted classics and originals to anyone.

She is my favorite singer, even though I am from Russia, but in her I recognize myself precisely in those life difficulties that she had. I will definitely go to Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles to give flowers to my favorite jazz artist. Her songs have always inspired me and inspire me to live, it's a pity that I didn't find her alive, I would so like to ask her and talk to her...but, unfortunately, I was born shortly before her death in 2000, and she died in 2001, she lives in our hearts and souls, rest in peace, Peggy, thank you very much for your eternal creativity, which continues to live. 😞❤❤❤❤❤

What a wonder it is to have video of her performing this live, it could just as easily not been uploaded at all and this marvelous performance would be lost to time. Even though she is gone she lives on through her art and continues to touch us today. Life is funny..

The first time I heard this song, I liked it. I guess I was around 23 years old. I didn't take it as a negative sad song. I took it as "just don't expect too much" like the stories we heard as children's books suggested. Handsome Prince? NO. You can trust a grown-up. NO. Everyone lives happily ever after. NO. I thought the song was great because it had a attitude of if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. So, I broke out the booze and had a ball but guess what? I said, "Hmmm...is that all there is to partying?" Almost 50 years later I still love this song. It just makes sense to me. Que Sera, Sera and Hakuna Matata.

A few years ago, an older gent I knew (may he rest in peace) played this song on our local bar's brand new internet jukebox. He was, of course, (once someone showed him in which hole to put the money) absolutely HORRIFIED to find that it cost an entire dollar to hear ONE song, but apparently he deemed this song dollar-worthy... He played it right in the middle of the onslaught of electronic "oonts-oonts" type of current pop40 hits... I'll never forget the look on some of the younger faces when they realized that not only could they get their own favorite techno dance-tunes, but the older folks could also call up THEIR favorite music too... When the kiddies started whining, he was like, "F you! ...however awful this is to you, your music is just as bad to me!" Priceless!

I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames And when it was all over I said to myself, is that all there is to a fire Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And when I was twelve years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus? Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes We were so very much in love Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't and when I didn't I said to myself, is that all there is to love? Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing I know what you must be saying to yourselves if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my first breath, I'll be saying to myself Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

I was just 19... I was much to young to hear this song, Is That All There Is sung by Peggy Lee. My life was as of yet an untested one. I was living in the San Francisco area at the time. It was electric with youth and the world was our oyster. I was introduced to Janis Joplin at Billy Graham's Filmore West and Jefferson Airplane, It's A Beautiful Day, QuickSilver, Santana and many more. It was an exciting time but I was becoming more vulnerable to esoteric musings swirling about me aided by the Siddhartha , you know Hermann Hesse's book and others. Then this song comes out. It did not fit the sixties yet it sucked me into its sense of meaningless. If you are 19 and under don't listen to this song.

We have never had access to so much, yet so few seem to be happy with their lot, complaining about what they DON'T have and how what they DO doesn't live up to their expectations. It's quite heartbreaking and I can't see the world malaise getting any better.
