The incomparable Miss Lee was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in North Dakota, to an American family of Norwegian and Swedish origin.

Although she is best known as a singer -- Fever being probably her most famous tune -- Lee was also an accomplished songwriter. An early tune, What More Can a Woman Do?, was recorded by Sarah Vaughan.  Lee also wrote the songs for the Walt Disney film Lady and the Tramp.
