SHE GIVES YOU CHILLS!!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Brenda Lee - All Alone Am I REACTION

[@MsDemeanorsMusings]

19 during this performance, and 76, today! But she had been singing for years at this point. The instrument is a harpsichord or mini-piano, maybe? Or a Greek instrument as it was written by a Greek. My fave by her is I'm Sorry. She has a powerhouse voice that that song shows off so very well.

[@Shrykespeare]

I would agree. I believe it is a harpsichord.

Brenda was born in 1944. She was around 19 when this performance was recorded. I think the "new sound" you were referring to was a harpsicord, a piano-like musical instrument. The Anita Bryant version is also amazingly beautiful.

It sounds like a harpsichord. It's like a piano but it plucks the strings instead of strikes them.

To me it sounded like a cheap electronic keyboard _trying_ to sound like a harpsichord. So maybe it's a harpsichord that was poorly wired for the recording?

[@Salve01]

Were there really electronic keyboards in the '50s ?

[@bg6b7bft]

@@Salve01 I don't think so, no. That's why I think it's an actual harpsichord that didn't get recorded at its best. Like maybe a bad mic, wiring, or acoustics. It does sound like a harpsichord, but with a strange electronic hum to it that I can't figure out.

Love, love, love Brenda Lee. She's still with us and singing thankfully. She was such a huge star that the Beatles actually were her opening act in Europe on her tour. She started singing when she was only about 9 or 10 years old and literally had the whole family's support on her young shoulders due to family tragedies. She's one of the greats!

[@LM-hb6yn]

I had no idea she was so big. Sadly I've hardly ever heard her name on the radio. Actually thought she died early in her career. Glad to know she's still alive. I only knew one song of hers from a old 45 record my older sister gave me when I was six. On one side was "Just A Little" (don't remember the song on the other side). Loved that song and her voice and thought she deserved much more recognition. Really surprised to hear she had a long career and wondering why I never heard her on the radio or saw her on TV over the years.

[@daleb1279]

@@LM-hb6yn Everyone hears her "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" every holiday season. She is a humble lady that never craved the spotlight like so many others. But considering she was the top selling female artist in the 1960s (only the Beatles, Elvis and Ray Charles outsold her), she just hasn't gotten as much public recognition as she deserves in her later life. She's also the only woman inducted into the Country and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame (and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame) so professionally she is recognized as one of the greats though.

[@brgilbert2]

[Dale B] Not quite!! Brenda Lee started singing when she was 5 or 6. Times were different back then; TV was just starting so the whole dynamics of the music industry were different when considering how a talent got their start. Brenda was taken down to the soda shop by her brothers and sisters at about 5 years old (this was after their father had died in an on the job accident) and she would sing and people would tip her with nickels and dimes. Her mother did work but the money Brenda brought in really helped. Fast forward and Red Foley discovered her at one of those local talent shows and the rest is history. (I am not sure how old Brenda was but she was younger than 10, maybe 7 or 8)

The early 60s were a time of top 40 lists, and a time of many kinds of hit music. For example, the lists for some weeks had songs by both Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra. Billboard’s #1 song for 1962 was by a clarinet player (Acker Bilk’s “Stranger on the Shore”), but Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” was also a huge song that year.

Wow, Wow, Wow, Brenda Lee, she will give you chills with this song. Watching her sing this on American Bandstand, brings back memories. Absolutely awsome🤗🤗

I am so grateful to you both for bringing this music back to me. I was nine when this song was on the radio, so I heard it because my parents were listening! By the way, I think it’s a Spinet, a kind of piano.
