Brenda Lee, born Brenda Mae Tarpley in Atlanta, Georgia, is an American singer who started her career as a rockabilly teen and transitioned to pop stardom. Known as “Little Miss Dynamite” for her powerful voice, Lee achieved her first Billboard hit at age 12 in 1957. Love this song:
Yes, she is a legend, classy, and there's never been another like her IMO. She can sing anything from rock to classics and everything in between.
Here's her rendition of I Left My Heart In San Francisco.
She still looks good. And her Christmas song put her on top of the charts for the first time in decades. I had saw it on the news and here's what Wiki printed:
"Her festive song "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", recorded in 1958, topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, making Lee the oldest artist ever to top the chart and breaking several chart records.[2]"
I bought one Brenda Lee record. It was the B side to I'm sorry.
That's All You Gotta Do
