[@tiffsaver]

"The little girl with the big voice." Brenda Lee was only 15-years old when she sang this classic ballad. Just to see her self confidence on the stage and hear her incredible depth of feeling and amazing voice at this young age still makes me shake my head in disbelief. No girl singers today have this kind of technique, their voices are all thin and contrived. When will we ever see her like again??

Great performance! She's been singing since age 11. She had good people managing her career, to keep her from drugs, alcohol etc.: Her mother, Red Foley, Owen Bradley; good support from her record company (treated her like a friend/family, not as a product. Brenda doesn't work as much these days, but stays busy with family and friends, hold bible studies at her home every Wednesday, and does a lot of other activities. I met her a number of years ago---a truly wonderful, kind person.

[@TomElvisSmith]

Thank you for this great performance! "All Alone Am I" charted at #3 on the Hot 100, #1 Adult Contemporary and #7 on the UK Singles Chart, and remains one of Brenda Lee's most enduring and beautiful songs. "All Alone Am I" started out as a Greek song entitled "Μην τον ρωτάς τον ουρανό", was re-written, and English lyrics were composed, but much of the haunting melody was used from the original. It is certainly one of my favorite Brenda Lee songs, and this is a fantastic rendition on the Sullivan show!

[@MostlyBrenda]

It was more or less unnoticed at the time, but some of BL's big hits were European songs with new English lyrics. "I Want To Be Wanted" was the Italian "Per Tutta la Vita" from the San Remo song contest in 1959. English lyrics by Kim Gannon. "Losing You" was a French tune with English lyrics by Carl Sigman. "All Alone Am I" is by the famous Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis for the film known as "Island of Brave" (1959) in English. Originally recorded in Greek by Tzeni (Jenny) Karezi. Legend has it that Hadjidakis was late getting to work on the assignment and went to Karezi's home and more or less composed the tune on the spot on her piano. English lyrics by Arthur Altman.

[@JIMMYPANOS69]

In 1959, the great Greek actress, Tzeni Karezi, recorded for the soundtrack of the film ‘Το Νησί των Γενναίων’ (The Island of the Brave) a sweet melancholic song titled ‘Μην τον ρωτάς τον ουρανό’ (Don’t ask the sky), composed by Manos Hadjidakis. Three years later, in 1962, the popular American singer Brenda Lee performed the song in English, this time titled ‘All Alone Am I’
