In this special tribute, we journey through her remarkable life, music, and legacy — from her days with Benny Goodman to her voice work in Disney’s Lady and the Tramp. She recorded over 1,100 songs and composed more than 270 originals, leaving behind a musical legacy as rich as it is timeless. “Retire? Not on your life.
