@benbop1965 - THE essential version of Hound Dog is the original cut by Big Momma Thornton - which is so good that it birthed multiple imitators. Elvis liked her version so much that he cut his own, and the rest is history.
Breand started singing at 7. She was helping support her family after her father left. Her third grade teacher knowing her late nights singing allowed her to lay her head down on her desk and sleep.
The Beatles met Brenda Lee in an airport. John Lennon said to her: "If You were born circa 4 years before You would have been 'The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll".
Yes, 79. I ran into her a couple years ago, at a McDonald's. I was leaving, and she was sitting in a yellow Cadillac in front of the store, when I noticed her, and said 'Brenda Lee'!! She just says yes, then I ask her to sing "I'm Sorry" and she just tears right into it. Completely floored me! Ran into George ' Goober' Lindsey, asked him to do a quick Cary Grant, insulted me like a real a..hole. Never liked his sh.t anyway, he was a moron doctor on M*A*S*H, a moron on Andy Griffith, MORON on Hee Haw. As for George Lindsey or is it Lindsay, too bad
And Brenda has more talent and has a hell of a lot better sounding and more unique voice than whiney sounding Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift's music has no soul nor any depth to it. It is pure pop slag and in my opinion is mediocre at best.
Seeing her perform, you can tell that she wants to shake loose and bring Rock N Roll to a new level. Thanks BenBop for letting viewers discover he amazing talent.
If you’re impressed by this, play the Collins Kids and hear Larry shred 50’s rock and roll guitar and dance at same time while sexy Laurie plays rhythm and sings. They do Johnny B Goode, Ramrod, and others.

This was a nice version. Be sure to check out this song by the woman who recorded it first in 1952... Willie Mae Thornton aka Big Mama Thornton. Her voice was awesome and the beat on that version will get you moving. 👍
Some great country swing guitar backing up a very young Brenda Lee. I think this is the best version of this song I have heard and that includes the original ( which was NOT elvis !)

what a voice for a 11 year old. Amazing!
Yep -- there's a reason she's known as "Little Miss Dynamite'! 🧨💥

@Quazmodic Right.
How special that these recordings are still available!!!
I'm about Brenda's same age and this is the first time I've heard her sing Hound Dog.
Brenda was an amazing talent. She must be 79 now. I hope she is healthy and happy.

Brenda Lee has always been a rock-a-billy star. Love her stuff.
Brenda was one of the four artists who charted the most singles, behind Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles.
Taylor Swift now.

Same feeling you get when you see young Judy Garland or Michael Jackson. Gifted beyond their years.

She still sounds like this today
Wow. Nice tune. Got some swing, some blues, some jazz, some rock. I always love Brenda Lee.
Thank you Ben, very good Little Brenda 👍

Wow, really that’s awesome. Do you play the piano to were you close with him?
So cute and wholesome! I love it!

Her voice never changed I remember as a little boy, it stayed the same and the style did too, even when she was older.
Eternally wonderful!👍👏
I think she recorded rockin around The Christmas tree at 13 and it still played today

omg what a voice and interpretation in that young girl's body! Brenda Lee incredible.
Oh that’s cute video. She is a great singer very young at that age. Wow what a voice.
I remember I used to love singing this when I was a little girl.
Wonderfull. I love this Song. Long live Rock n Roll
Thank god we have so much preserved of early tv and video. Much is lost but a surprising amount has survived.
Pure Rock and roll
She was GOOD!
Her voice was amazing.
Great voice she got a voice of women
That’s because she’s a woman…duh
UNMISTAKABLE voice!!!
One of the greatest. Lot of kids put in that kind of sadness
What a voice.
Cool! Dawg!
At an early Brenda Lee concert in Germany, the Beatles opened for her.

Can you imagine being that talented!❤

She ain't gone.
Clips of Brenda Lee when she was little used to be played very early in the broadcast day of WNCT-TV in Greenville, NC in the late 50s-early 60s.
From the first note you can see she was going to be legendary x
Fantastic 😊😊😊
What a amazing voice.
Very very good.
She's adorable.
Incredible voice and a class act.
The Elvis version is still the best ever. It's the superior version.. With great guitar solos and Elvis" great rock voice..
