"Fever" who do you think made the definitive version?

[fegs]

Beat me to it!

Fantastic version

Grew up with Peggy Lee's version on the jukebox - still the best imho.
One of my better exercises in futility was going on the hunt for Julie London's version of Fever -this was really challenging since it turns out she never recorded that tune

Another vote for Eva Cassidy's version on "Nightbird".

I like Elvis’s version, very pure. Double bass, drums, and what a voice.
My favourite. The full analogue LP sounds fantastic to boot.

Peggy Lee for me for sure

The Elvis version is v.cool though . One of only a handful of his songs I actually like.

 

[gamut]

Yes I forgot the Elvis's version which is also excellent.

 

[Tarzan]

Peggy's Lee's version is the tops most folk would say.

Pressler's version is pretty good too- one actual track one could listen to at a Hifi show- better than that plinky plonky garbage.

Elvis for me

 

[Stuart Frazer]

There are a number of good versions of this song.

From an audiophile sound perspective, on a decent system, "Fever" on the Elvis is Back Sessions puts you right in the room. The 4 CD boxset with the outtakes shows how good that musician line-up was. That 1960 recording technology is simply remarkable.

 

[gavreid]

There's a few good versions, I've never heard the orginal but how about Sarah Vaughan?

 

[windhoek]

Elvis for me

Yep, on a great system with a great low end, Elvis' version rocks!

My vote goes to Elvis too.
