✰ Brenda Lee / Johnny Cash ✰

[@jenniferkay4038]

How did such a huge voice come out of Brenda's tiny frame???? Thank you Mostly Brenda for another gem that's now precious country history..

[@MostlyBrenda]

We have both Brenda's performances on Johnny's show. She was on in March '70 and Cash said he didn't intend to have guests back on in the same season, but she was so great, he invited her back in May. Then, soon after, she taped an Everly Bros. show which was the summer replacement for the Cash show. I have never located that show, although I have heard the audio from it. Later Brenda toured with Johnny Cash. 1975, I think. And, in 1984, they did the Winning Hand special (also on this channel). Unfortunately, they did not duet on that show.

[@jenniferkay4038]

@@MostlyBrenda Oh how I'd love to see footage from the Everlys show (my teenage loves - I wish!) I saw them whenever they toured England including a Reunion Concert. How lucky were we young girls - the romance of one song from drop-dead gorgeous young guys, then consoled in our heartbreak by Brenda!!! Thank you so much for this reply, my much-loved music of the past fills my heart now with joy.

You simply won't find a cuter bundle of fun than Brenda. She's the very best!

[@josephharnett5075]

Brenda Lee is just a Amazing Piece of God given talent

[@kathrynmcmahon8311]

I never heard this song. Love Brenda Lee, and loved Johnny Cash. Anyone else think that he looks very handsome in this video clip?

[@MostlyBrenda]

He's just tall, that's all!

[@ashleymarie7695]

He was incredibly handsome!!

[@ashleymarie7695]

And I am only 30 years old.

[@wildwood143]

Yes , he was pretty handsome!

[@MariaMolina-f5o]

Brenda Lee , Johnny cash I love . ❤

[@DotLawlor]

2 great talents

[@Moni32002]

Brenda Lee is always fun and for some reason, surprising. Must be that size. Good on Johnny Cash, asking her on his show. Class up the joint.

[@trafikuty]

Small woman with great voice!

ANG GANDA NI BRENDA LEE AT ANG GALING NG BOSES

[@evacameron8670]

I own music by Johnny Cash❤And I watch Brenda on KZbin. I had no idea they did this😂so long ago, Brenda is trending to excellent music in my 📕 book!

[@ceretomer5987]

Just love her voice.

[@dollarBill007]

Wow, talk about a childhood flashback.

[@MrJerrydmz66]

REAL MUSIC!!!! TAKE US BACK!!!!!

[@ritafellin8567]

Love the 2 of them together, on this song!!

[@MostlyBrenda]

Rita, as I have tried to point out in the description and in other comments, they are doing something that is more difficult than it appears. Brenda is singing one song, "Big Boss Man" while Johnny is singing another one, "Bad News".

[@tippimail1]

Little Miss Dynamite is 79 today!

[@ritafellin8567]

Doesn't matter, I still love this song, with them together!!

[@MostlyBrenda]

Thanks for your promotion of this vid. If you care, here are the originals: Boss man: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epWQoJKhgbSBjKs Bad News kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpSnhWWOqKyagpI As you can hear , it took some doin' for them to merge the two songs.

[@ritafellin8567]

Like this one , they were good!!

[@ritafellin8567]

Love both songs!!

[@josephrobichaud2681]

[@ritafellin8567]

[@Elvis86100]

Seule Brenda Lee peut reprendre des chansons d'Elvis, avec sa voix, qui est surprenante de clarté. Merci à vous, et à notre regrèté Johnny Cash

[@mauriciojoryjory5422]

Wonderful!

Brenda Lee toured with Johnny Cash in the mid 70s. Saw them in a great show in Indianapolis, along with Mel Tillis, Statler Brothers, June Carter, Carl Perkins and an early tour of one of my favorites, Ronnie Milsap. This is posting under my son's name, don't know why. He wasn't born until much later!!

[@MostlyBrenda]

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about that tour, but it doesn't surprise me. Johnny says at the beginning of this show that he didn't plan to have very many guests back for a second appearance, but Brenda was so great in her first show in March that she was invited right back for this appearance in May.

[@panchopuskas1]

Interesting video. I like both singers, especially Brenda: little girl-big voice. Thanks for posting.

[@Christina-uh8xk]

Brenda Lee is only 4feet 7inches tall! Amazingly powerful voice for someone so small!

[@MostlyBrenda]

She is a little over 4' 9".

[@ritafellin8567]

My favorite. I love this one!!

[@evacameron8670]

❤burnin’ 🔥❤️‍🔥😊

[@MostlyBrenda]

How did this duet come about? My theory: On Jul 12, 1969, Jeannie C. Riley sang Bad News with Johnny on the fifth episode of the show. Jeannie did not sing another song like Brenda does here, just some lines and she made lighthearted remarks about how "bad" he was. I have the feeling that Brenda Lee saw that show and thought the beat of "Big Boss Man" would mesh perfectly with "Bad News". And the next season, she got her chance. Well, I don't know for sure, but maybe....

[@damiaolopesrodrigues2466]

Amei muito linda abfa ocazo

[@Robinjoy45]

I love both Brenda Lee and JR Cash----I love to sing Big Boss Man via the Charlie Rich version and I have JR Cash's Bad News on my ipod-----two classy hall of famers .....

[@bbb8997]

Jerry Lee Lewis's version on the session recorded in London is awesome as is pig Pen's version on grateful dead skull & roses is great too

[@tippimail1]

Jimmy Reed.@@bbb8997

[@Appleholic1]

It looks like Johnny is in black n white and Brenda is in color

[@184lisa]

I love Leon Russell´s cover of this song. This I ´ve heard a first time. And It ´s great too!! OOOh!! Johnny is a man!! And she is cute!!

[@ericabenson-ec5ki]

Brenda out song cash wow

[@TheMidnightModder]

Johnny's low note is a C.... oh my.... 4 notes lower than the lowest note on a standard tuned guitar.

[@MostlyBrenda]

Thanks ... Isn''t a guitar an octave lower than a piano? I seem to recall that from somewhere in the past that the low C on guitar is -8 notes relative to the middle C on piano.

[@TheMidnightModder]

@@MostlyBrenda That sounds about right. I learned how to sing with a piano but I forgot all of the octave numbers 😂

[@vccastanho]

Dois grandes cantores....

[@TechNed]

Hey thanks .. Nice post! I love them both. I'm not sure that Johnny got lost - I think it's just that nice laid back, informal style he had - It all worked out.

[@CalebAchsah]

@TechNed - Yes, you're right. All of it feels very natural!

[@valeriahorvath2767]

❤️❤️

[@newwavepop]

Holy Crap, i just looked her up it says she is 4'9"!

[@MostlyBrenda]

And her husband is at least 6'3".

[@Valerian1]

my god, i just discovered her. listening to all of them now. her venus exactly conjuncts my moon (i'm in love!)

[@SpikedgeXXX]

This rules

[@carlynlx133]

awww shes so short xD

[@car5car5]

Lee is bigger than Cash

[@susanrogwest6013]

Why did Johnny Cash wear heels when Brenda Lee is so short? Looks awkward

[@MostlyBrenda]

Cash did cultivate an image. "The man in black". Tall with dark thick hair. Dyed and eventually a hairpiece. The heels fit in with that. John Wayne was similar.

[@codystegemueller9428]

Ha ha she's short

[@qujmera]

deluxo

[@queenconvertible]

Why does she remind me of Reba here?

[@joeblow593]

Sounds like she's saying big balls man.

[@realamerican6101]

Is someone using a weed eater making this video.

[@danieltinoco8466]

Brenda Lee was a dwarf

[@davidwesley2525]

@danieltinoco8466 What a Degrading Word to say , Brenda Lee is 4 feet 9 inches . She's shorter than average But She is Not a Dwarf. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
