 Brenda Lee sang her way out of an impoverished childhood and into the hearts of the world. From the beginning it was obvious that here was a rare talent with a distinctive throaty style and rich vocal presence. By six she was astounding listeners with a mature sound and lyric interpretation reserved for women who had gathered both thru time and experience. By the 60's, Brenda was the darling of her peers - a generation of teenagers who cut their rock 'n roll teeth on the young singer who music critics and audiences alike had fallen in love with. Before turning twenty, Brenda had recorded a phenomenal 256 sides - a musical odyssey that even at this early stage included classic million sellers like "I'm Sorry," "Fool Number 1," "Emotions," "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," and "That's All You Gotta Do." - to mention only the tip of Brenda's career signature songs. Rarely has a performer grown from childhood to maturity with the momentum that has propelled this lady into a fourth decade of making music.
