The care that Peggy Lee -- and producers Bill Rudman, Ken Bloom, and Keith Ingham -- invested in this unusual new Harold Arlen songbook is clear. Two bittersweet ''unknowns'' from failed musicals, ''Come On, Midnight'' and ''I Had a Love Once,'' will likely live on once other singers hear Lee's darkly moving readings. Here, her age is an asset.
