When Peggy Lee returned to Capitol Records in 1957, her first project was overseen by the label’s biggest star, Frank Sinatra. “There have been very few men in our business who affected me so deeply I can’t express myself,” Lee wrote of Sinatra in her memoir. The Man I Love was a vehicle Sinatra had designed specifically for Lee. He produced the album and personally conducted Nelson Riddle’s orchestra for the occasion. His chose the charts and the songs. How their relationship colored the album’s overarching theme—a woman’s unerring devotion to one man—is something that each listener must decide. In every aspect except the vocals, The Man I Love feels like a Sinatra album. The songs show the same deliberate pacing that marked his concept albums for Capitol, but Lee’s voice doesn’t cut through the lush string arrangements in the same manner. Still, the album contains some of Lee’s most sensitive performances. “The Folks Who Live on the Hill,” “The Man I Love,” and “Please Be Kind” are achingly vulnerable, as if Lee opened herself wholly in Sinatra’s presence.
