Wonderful Brenda Lee - the only woman in both The Country Music Hall of Fame and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She deserves both!

[@bobwallace9814]

She is 15 years old here. She started in singing contests at age 4. She was a regular on TV at age 10. This song reached #1. When her father died while she was 10, she became the sole breadwinner in the family. She stood 4'9" and wrote her first hit song "Dynamite" which was a naughty tune at age 12. The perennial Christmas tune "Rocking around the Christmas Tree" at 13 yrs old. She was huge in England and when she sang with her band at the Star Club, the opening act for her was the Beatles.

[@jaysilverheals4445]

she actually started being stood up at the local small store to sing

[@user-hp3nz7wb1k]

Yes, phenomenal singer. (Her dad actually passed when she was 8 years old in May 1953, and later that year in Dec she turned 9.)

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

I've watched many different people "reaction" videos but subscribed to yours because he have diversity to include music all the way back to the 50s. I love all decades from the 50s to modern and most genres -- its great to see more than just the same bands over and over again. Kudos!

[@ccbig1966]

Brenda Lee had an amazing voice! Another song from the same time period you might like is "Crazy" by Patsy Cline. If I remember right the song "Crazy" was written by Willie Nelson.

[@rkt88403]

I love Brenda Lee. This song and others from this era take me back to bars and jukeboxes. The bass really came through.

[@rhondadross]

Brenda Lee sings “Rockin Around The Christmas Tree” My momma loved her and Patsy Cline ... I love Patsys Crazy, She’s got You, Sweet Dreams. They made a movie about Patsy called Sweet Dreams

[@stevenweinberg9819]

She is called Little Miss Dynamite, because she is short but, has such a powerful voice

[@UtopiaBlue68]

I'm so so happy that you covered Brenda Lee what an amazing singer this woman was back in her prime, thank you for sharing and uploading this wonderful video.

[@beverlybutrum5360]

She was only like 13 years old

[@charlesbarry2767]

SO WAS I ONCE ! LOL

[@MostlyBrenda]

15 years old in 1960. Both sides of the 45 were in the top ten and went Gold.

[@GandlafTheWhite]

16 years old. She was born in 1944

[@johnwelch703]

Powerful voice, on pitch, no auto tune.

[@S.E.MILLER]

Little Miss dynamite such a powerful voice for little girl. I like how you called her a woman when she was just about 13 there. You should listen to her song Dynamite. Her voice will really get deep inside listen to it and see what I mean.

[@brandonframe1743]

Back when girls used to be women. Nowadays they're "whamen" lol

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I call 13 year old girls "girls."

[@bretonpdx4431]

Brenda Lee is the #1 selling female vocalist of the entire 1960's decade. She is ranked as the #4 top selling artist of the 60's; just below Elvis, The Beatles and Ray Charles. Her records have charted in pop, rhythm and blues, rock, easy listening and country categories. As a result, to this day, she holds the record for charting in more categories than any other female in recording history. She is also the only female artist inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Country Music Halls of Fame.

[@39thala]

Brenda Lee ("Little Miss Dynamite"), from Atlanta, Georgia, she was only 15 or 16 years old when she did this song in 1960! This is such a touching song! Her voice and the emotion she puts in it. And the beautiful yet sad melody. This kind of music still has an impact on people. Sure hope you do some more Brenda Lee soon! Thank you for this!

[@notgaybear5544]

Her vocals seemed so effortless....amazing!!!!

[@UtopiaBlue68]

Brenda Lee ... All Alone Am I Ohhh and Gene Pitney singing The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ... "Impeccable Talent".

[@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia]

It may have been a while back, but she was still a kid! My fave is "Rockin' 'Round The Christmas Tree" -- try that one out. Lotsa fun, and it's a forever classic.

[@jackio46]

Just about time for that one to start being heard on the radio again.

[@mrod7692]

That's what TV looked like in 1960 and we loved it.

[@wykkyd_og]

Her song Sweet Nothin’s” is cute too.

[@MRM-Wendy]

You may recognized her voice from the Christmas song Rocking around Christmas Tree, this lady has many great songs..thank you for doing this reaction always loved this one, my Dad playing it on radio on Oldie Goldies night

[@madmann5373]

I am 53and I remember dancing on my Mom's shoes 4, to this old tune

[@dennisharnish9063]

She was my heart throb when I was in high school. When I was in Vietnam she came there and did a concert for the soldiers. This song is from about 1959.

[@jeannettekyzer2178]

A very young Brenda Lee. Great video!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

Oh my love Brenda Lee. I grew up listening to her songs. I'm 75 yrs old young. Thank you for playing this song for this baby boomer. Brings back so many memories of my youth. ❤️❤️❤️

[@GrammyTapDancing]

This takes me back watching this with my parents on tv when I was little girl good ol days she could sing for a tiny girl

[@angelawillis145]

Brenda Lee's daddy worked at the King Mill with my grandparents in Augusta, Georgia.

[@moogie1954]

Definitely check out Patsy Cline sing "Crazy". She was a real power house singer! Taken too soon!

[@lizrutherford2656]

Her voice on Crazy was astonishing.

[@joelsimms4636]

She was one if Dick Clarks favorite sings . She was on American Bandstand back in the 60s. ALOT! She was very young and one of the biggest stars of her time.

[@ooshta]

I haven't heard this song in so long. Thx. I liked that song. Nice job.

[@Historian212]

One clear, pure voice. Brenda Lee was such a talent. Check out her "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," a classic.

[@veggem]

Another great female singer from the 60's onwards was Timi Yuri, there's some of her stuff on KZbin check out What's a matter baby or You can have him or even when she dueted with Willie Nelson on Did I ever love you

[@LoveWave9]

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC. Thank you with love.

[@kathleenlock8963]

Her voice was a power house at a very young age.

[@auntkittyhashtag2321]

Little Miss Dynamite with a strong voice, one of the very best ever.

[@southernwanderer7912]

My mother told me that Brenda performed in our small town in SC and remembers seeing her sing. Though she was born in Atlanta, her family ended in Augusta, GA,. a town right next to us. My mother said her father used to stand her up on a bench that was used for those waiting on the bus and have her sing. and crowds would gather. She was eventually found and skyrocketed from there.

[@beejjjjjj1]

When I think of Brenda Lee I think of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree -- can't get away from that one during the holidays. But this is a great oldie.

[@terrycox6266]

Brenda Lee recorded the song early in 1960, but her label, Decca Records, held it from release for several months out of concern that a 15-year-old girl was not mature enough to sing about unrequited love. When the song finally was released, it was considered to be the flip side of the more uptempo "That's All You Gotta Do".

[@caroltassin4049]

This came out in 1960 & you sure don't have to be 80 to remember this!!!! Great song!!!! Also Love Patsy Cline, use to sing "Crazy" at karaoke all the time.

[@billstokes6740]

I am 80 and my girlfriend accused me of having a crush on Brenda Lee.

[@melissavangieson8152]

She was so sweet! I agree with some of the others on here saying you should try out Patsy Cline now. Crazy and Walkin' After Midnight are my favorites by her. These songs pop into my head all the time. I'm just a sentimental fool but I'm ok with that!

[@marinamartinez6886]

Many beautiful songs from that era, glad you appreciated it.

[@Mftjan2000]

Lol...so Brenda gets a head scratch too! Highest praise....Check out her "Sweet Nothins"

[@cbilky2914]

ohhh some Patsy Cline you might like her ''she's got you'' or her song ''sweet dreams''

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

My cousin, Virginia Hensley, aka Patsy Cline! ..... SWEET DREAMS!!!!!!

[@inspirationworks8357]

I love the music of Patsy Cline. 😊💗

[@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia]

That's a great suggestion! Anything Patsy Cline is great!

[@richardbrewer3078]

Yes, I am a rocker from way back and still like what modern rock that is left, but no one can ignore Patsy Cline was the greatest women's Country voice of all time. "Crazy" (written by Willie, himself) was unforgettable!

[@slothbros7607]

She is an icon....I'm sure he has to have heard her music? Anything is amazing by her but "Crazy" and "Sweet Dreams" oh my my

[@garyrhodes5608]

Awesome reaction again brother 👍👍👍♿♿🙏🙏👍👍what an an amazing voice!!! No need for autotune back then!!!👍👍👍 Everyone have a great night!👍😉

[@krissmgvlogs]

Beautiful song.

[@pbasswil]

I saw a magazine interview with Brenda Lee not long ago - she's still alive and kickin'! Seems totally down to earth and very grateful for the success she had and for the love of her fans. If you can, check out one of her up tempo tracks. Great vocal control.

[@wykkyd_og]

My moms favorite singer. She’s got some really good songs. My mom brought me up on that stuff.

[@helgar8456]

"Since I Don't Have You", by The Skyliners, "Only You", "Twilight Time", and "The Great Pretender", by the great Tony Williams and the Platters, "She Cried", by Jay Black and the American's, "Hold Me", by Mel Carter. Man, so much. "I Who Have Nothing" by many from Ben E. King to Tom Jones.

[@douglasrussell1432]

Love your videos. You have such a variety. Keep it up!!!

[@hickokhaley]

That was a classic, still is for me. She was only 15 when she recorded that song. I still have the album with that song on it.

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

[@joenewman7474]

Listen to Brenda Lee singing, 'That's all you gotta do'. You wont know what hit you; I garontee!

[@markkmiecik9797]

Brenda Lee -- Sweet Nothings -- if you want to hear her turn black instantly. She had one of those voices that could mimic others. She sounds like a different person in many of her songs.

[@patriciahouck9147]

I was wondering if you had heard of a group called The Dramatics? Such good music came from these guys! One song in particular sticks in my head because it was so good was "what you see is what you get" Some great stuff from the 70's ! Check it out! ❤

[@67cuda38]

Before my day, but 50’s rock n roll rocks ! I grew up with my mom playing it.

[@hugurkids9528]

I got this album for my daughter last Christmas. She wanted to expand her music knowledge from her grandparents perspective.

[@josephanthony9294]

A simple but great song from 1960. One of my favourite Brenda Lee songs

[@stephenpolicoff292]

She was only 13 or 14. Check out her song "All alone am I". I dont know if that is the name of the song or just a lyric, but her voice was amazing.

[@soulfella1]

Stephen Policoff// Yes, title is correct, another one of Her Songs that certainly deserves a listen is "AS USUAL", especially if unknown!

[@samsonpagon7550]

I wish I could tell one special person this

[@markcobb6561]

I wasn't going to comment but she was 15, not 13, when it was recorded, all the way back in 1960. And for those of you wondering, yes I do have underwear older than you are.

[@LILLYMARZ5160]

I was born in 1960.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

From the summer of 1960, I was 13 y/o, heading to 14 in September. Brenda was actually 17 y/o when she recorded this masterpiece in Nashville, with The Anita Kerr Singers backing her. Arranged & produced, by Owen Bradley. ---------MJL, 77 y/o

[@LadyOaksNZ]

My fav song growing up right til now.❤️❤️❤️

[@yvetteluna2244]

Beautiful, i love this song. Listened to it as a kid.

[@annelisesampson7177]

If you are interested in listening to more songs from the 50s. I suggest Walking In The Rain by Johnnie Ray. It would mean so much to me as he is my absolute favorite singer. I'm only fourteen, but you've already done a lot of my favorites so if you could do this one, I would be grateful

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I've heard the song many times growing up. My best memory came later. It was commercial for Bounty paper towels. They showed some different babies and puppies getting into trouble. They were sitting there looking sad because they had messed something up. Look up "I'm sorry Bounty commercial" it's on KZbin.

[@pattytheseeker8902]

That little girl COULD SING!!!❤❤❤

[@dlmullins9054]

She was a teen here but she stayed the same size even as an adult. She had all the talent in the world though and she was a real firecracker. Thank you for doing this one!

[@makalabeckerleg1109]

I grew up listening to this lovely lady,,

[@sarahthomas5405]

She sounded like a grown woman! She was just a little girl! Love it.

[@raymondbenton5928]

Try Timi Yuro, "I'm So Hurt, or "What's A Matter Baby" or "She's Got You"

[@PINKTOES5150]

Raymond Benton you hit the nail right on the button ! I dated her nephew when I was in high school . Very nice tiny lady with a big voice ! I miss her greatly !

[@PINKTOES5150]

The song make the world go away was also a great song !

[@marysue8815]

Love her, I believe that is the first 45 record I bought as a teen, your song choices and reaction are wonderful

[@Caprizonica]

Brenda Lee is one of the greatest singers ever, around the world, I swear. Perfect pitch - something I can´t say of today´s idols, and shé´s much better live.. I think this song doesn´t really show her full potential but you might remember her more from "Walking around the Christmas tree". or "Sweet nothings". Her version of "The end of the world" is the best, IMO. Elvis was a fan of her. she was a rocker.

[@biggeorgetx]

This was from the "Lush Sound" era in Nashville.

[@VangelVe]

I can never get over that powerful voice in such a young and small body.

[@pennyantewest]

When "I'm Sorry" was released in May of 1960 she was 15. She turned 16 in December. She started singing as a small child and was given the nickname Little Miss Dynamite due to her powerful voice.

[@inspirationworks8357]

Always loved this one and Kathy Young's A Thousand Stars. 💗

[@cindykaetzel6322]

I can remember when I first heard this I was abt 4-5 (1965-1966)there was a small neighborhood bar at the end of my grandmother's street my dad would take me there this an others would be playing, I would get my candy necklace while dad was talking to the owner..great times

[@vickilee7494]

My mom must of played the grooves off that record

[@Poochwalker]

Just made me smile.

[@oldschool72]

This was 1958 and she was 13 years old. I grew up watching her grow up.

[@autumnamber6849]

so much voice for qa little ladie. I think they called her dynamite. She has a collection of great songs you would most likely enjoy. Again teen years memories.

[@marylawson6060]

Am glad I grew up with this music. Brenda was 13 I believe.

I know it's a little early for Christmas but there is a song on my Christmas music list that begs to be heard for the holidays. It is called Santa Baby by the great Eartha Kitt. No Christmas list would be complete without it.

[@sirdukeusa3289]

I was named after her.

[@melburnett]

She was very young in this and only 4' 6" but had a voice that sounded like she was 7' tall.

[@candiceschoice941]

Has everyone forgotten the number one selling female singer from that time....Connie Francis!

[@Gutslinger]

I heard this one quite a few times. I never seen the video of her though. If I'm not mistaken, I think I also heard her voice on one of those Christmas songs that the radio would always play around Christmas time when I was a kid in the 90's.

[@barbararidley354]

She was only 13 are 14 when she sang this song

[@bofusnco]

Someone else may have already posted this but Brenda Lee was 15 when she recorded this song. She was a tiny little thing (she still is) and someone gave her the name of "Little Miss Dynamite".
