Why Don't You Do Right as Sung by Jessica Rabbit or Peggy Lee?

"Why Don't You Do Right?" is an American blues- and jazz-influenced pop song - now a standard - written in 1936 by Kansas Joe McCoy. It is a twelve-bar song written in a minor key. Although it is not in the twelve-bar blues form (it is more of an aabc form in which the c part is similar to the a part), it is considered a classic "woman's blues" song.

One of the best known versions of the song is Peggy Lee's, which was recorded July 27, 1942 in New York with Benny Goodman; or you can check out the more modern version "Why Don't You Do Right"  as sung by Jessica Rabbit. I think she would have given Betty Boop a run for her money : )



or do you prefer Peggy Lee?
