Rendezvous with Peggy Lee is the debut solo album by
Peggy Lee , released on
Capitol Records in 1948 on three 78-rpm
shellac records. Backed by husband
Dave Barbour and His Orchestra, the original record featured five
jazz standards and one original composition, "
Don't Smoke in Bed ", which itself later became a standard. The original tune was co-penned by Lee, Barbour, and
Willard Robison , but was credited only to Robison after he fell seriously ill. The album reached number two on the
Billboard Best-Selling Popular Record Albums chart.

Will Davidson wrote for the
Chicago Sunday Tribune , "the records represent Peggy's best. Not all of them ARE her best, but all are worthy examples of her work. Several are stupendous."
