Peggy Lee's Is That All There Is?
‘Is That All There Is?’, a Leiber & Stoller song made famous by Peggy Lee, is based upon a short story by Thomas Mann called 'Disillusionment'. But those who know and love it feel it's inspirational rather than a cynical, world weary musical take on existentialism and the futility of life.
‘Soul Music’ uncovers the compelling individual stories behind our collective love of music.
Producer: Maggie Ayre
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2013.
