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 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.

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.

One of my Dad's favorite songs. Born on the lower West Side in "Hell's Kitchen" in 1919, when it was truly Hell, he passed in 1989. He moved to Newark, NJ in the early 50's when he married my Mom & raised 5 sons (I'm 4th of 5). 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... I'll never forget that day or my great Dad💔

My take on the song was always if you don't have an expectation you won't have a disappointment ...every time you expect something it's going to be disappointing ...nothing is ever as good or as bad as it's imagined... You survive...But break out the booze and have a ball with your friends It's what you do in between the expectations... It's John Lennon's famous saying Life is what happens while you're making plans... I adore this song

When I was a young girl this song became popular. I could relate to it even Then. Coming from a confusing and lonely childhood. But than I heard the true gospel of Jesus Christ . John 3:16. As I studied, I had my questions answered. God loves me, us. He really does ! This isn't all there is. There's more ! I hope Peggy found it. I like to think she did.

I was 21 when I heard this song. I was searching for a reason to justify this world I lived in. I use to hear this song and it was exactly how I felt except I didn't feel any joy in going dancing and kicking up my heels. I was so disappointed with life and I had no security. I was making lots of money, I had lots of diamonds, beautiful clothes and a Cadillac, but I was so sad. I had met people in our government who were corrupt and I couldn't find anything that was of value or genuine. No one knew what real love was, as I imagined it. Then I met Jesus. End of Story. I am 75 years old now. I have had disappointments, and wonderful times... still His love is constant, pure and faithful. He has always loved and provided help in time of need and never, never, never has he failed me. He makes my life worth living. 🥰👑✝️🕊💞

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.

This song has never been more relevant that it is now, in the 2020s. 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.

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.
