The popular 1950s singer Peggy King died last month at age 96. She had a couple of best selling albums, and was named best new singer in 1956 by DownBeat and Billboard magazines. After stepping away from performing to raise a family, she returned to the stage in the 1980 and performed music of Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, and Jerome Kern. King joined Terry Gross in 1983 for a concert interview.
