This tour will be music to your ears! This new and exciting tour for music lovers focuses on the greatest musical artists of the 20th century, as well as a special tribute to the incomparable Peggy Lee. This fun-filled music themed tour is led by Jasmin, a former actress and Old Hollywood aficionado, who has led our tribute tours to Walt Disney, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. Our musical journey begins with a visit to East West Studios on Sunset Blvd. in the heart of Hollywood. This active, working studio is one of the world’s premier recording facilities and has given rise to some of the most celebrated music of the last 60 years – from Frank Sinatra to The Rolling Stones – and has produced more Grammy-winning albums than any other studio in the world. See where Elvis Presley, Peggy Lee, The Mamas & the Papas, The Beach Boys, Dolly Parton, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston and many others have recorded iconic songs and albums. As we continue through the streets of Hollywood and along the Sunset Strip, you’ll hear many stories and anecdotes as we pass a number of legendary sites that played a part in Hollywood’s music history. Enjoy an included lunch with choice of entrée and dessert at Mel’s Drive-In on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Housed in one of the last remaining “Googie” style buildings in Southern California, this was previously the home to Ben Franks, the iconic coffee shop that was a famous hangout in the 60s and 70s for rockers after their gigs. We’ll also visit the Grammy Museum which pays tribute to music’s rich cultural history with four floors of cutting-edge exhibits and interactive experiences. On exhibit for a limited time, 100 Years of Peggy Lee, an exhibit that celebrates this timeless artist and creative powerhouse that made considerable contributions to the world of jazz and popular music. Peggy Lee’s stage presence exhibited unmatched vocal control, poise and swagger, and she redefined the role of the female singer that paved the way and inspired many of today’s contemporary artists including Diana Krall, Adele, Billie Eilish and Katy Perry. On display are handwritten notes, drawings and paintings by Peggy Lee, along with jewelry and accessories she wore including the necklace from The Jazz Singer. See Dave Barbour’s Gibson guitar, rare photographs, scrapbook clippings, personal items and gifts she received including a letter from Frank Sinatra, a gift from Quincy Jones and Lady and the Tramp character models gifted by Walt Disney. Enjoy time at leisure to browse the museum’s permanent exhibits including memorabilia from Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson and more.
