Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is? (1969)
10My parents always thought this song was weird, but it was one of my favorites. Then again, my older cousin always said I was crazy. Maybe he was right. Fond memories of hearing
it on the radio as the snow ushered in the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday season. Of course, I recorded it off the radio on my portable reel-to-reel .. to hear as often as I liked. Wedding Bell Blues by the 5th Dimension, Leaving On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Undun by Guess Who, and When I Die by Motherlode were all big hits at this time. This song went on the same reel as those. By the way, "Is That All There Is?" appeared in the dark comedy After Hours (1985) directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Griffin Dunne and Teri Garr. Great film.

It won Lee the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and then later was named to the Grammy Hall of Fame. The orchestral arrangement on the song was composed by Randy Newman, who also conducted the orchestra.
