Brenda Lee - I'm Sorry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2011
- Brenda Lee was born Brenda Mae Tarpley on Dec. 11, 1944, in Atlanta. She was the second daughter of Rubin and Grace Tarpley. The youngster showed distinctive vocal talent at age 3, won her first singing contest when she was 5 and was performing regularly on an Atlanta radio station when she was 7. It was at about that time that a TV producer in Augusta, Ga., changed her name to Brenda Lee. In 1953, when she was 9, her father died in a construction accident.
Country singer Red Foley heard Lee when she was around 10 years old and subsequently invited her to appear with him on the popular TV show, Ozark Jubilee. Her popularity and high visibility soon won her guest shots on such popular network programs as The Ed Sullivan Show and The Perry Como Show.
In 1956, Lee signed with Decca Records, where she later united with the legendary producer Owen Bradley, who would oversee most of her hits. She charted her first pop single, "One Step at a Time," in 1957, but it made it only to No. 43. (The song did, however, go to No. 15 on the country rankings.) Though it would take a few years to break in the U.S., her early records sold well in Europe. She toured France in 1959 and has since established herself internationally as one of the most visible and beloved ambassadors of country music.
It wasn't until 1960 when Lee took "Sweet Nothin's" to No. 4 on the pop charts that she made a major impact as a recording artist. Over the next 13 years, she scored two No. 1's ("I'm Sorry" and "I Want to Be Wanted"), four Top 5s and five Top 10s. While its short seasonal nature kept it from ever topping the charts, her "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," recorded in 1958, has become a holiday classic. A spellbinding stage performer, the diminutive (4 feet 11 inches) vocalist was dubbed "Little Miss Dynamite" following the release of her second charted single, "Dynamite," in 1957.
In 1962, during a Jackie Wilson concert at the fairgrounds in Nashville, Lee met her future husband, Charles (Ronnie) Shacklett. They were married on April 24, 1963, while Lee, still in her teens, was at the height of her record chart popularity. In spite of the pressures of show business, her marriage has endured. She and her husband have two daughters, Julie LeAnn (born in 1964) and Jolie Lenee (born in 1969).
Just as her pop presence was waning, Lee struck it big on the country charts. Between 1973 and 1975, she had six consecutive Top 10 hits on Decca's successor label, MCA. She continued to inhabit the country charts through the '80s and '90s with "Tell Me What It's Like," "The Cowgirl and the Dandy" and "Broken Trust" (with the Oak Ridge Boys) all going Top 10.
Apart from performing, Lee is a tireless supporter of the Nashville music community at large and of numerous charitable organizations. She has served on the boards of the Country Music Association and the Recording Academy (the Grammy organization) and has been active with the Kidney Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy organizations and the March of Dimes.
Lee was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Her autobiography, Little Miss Dynamite: The Life and Times of Brenda Lee, was published in 2003. ~SOURCE: www.cmt.com/artists/az/lee_bre...

Me ...i love this kind of music ❤❤
There are NO singers today who can match her.
Angelina Jordan
Her voice is clear as a bell. So pretty.
No girl this age could sing like this... ever. Brenda Lee is truly "one of a kind."
Leanne Rymes was 12 when she started singing with a beautiful voice too
And Brenda sang professionally from age 6.
I am 79 years old and she still make my heart sing.
You're right 💓
I'm also 79 And I agree 👍
@@arthurgamez9436 and me too at 79.
Bethyfull times.
I’m a youngy at 77 but it still works for me!
She was just a kid when she made this record. This is talent.
do the alphabet
The gift of her talent and the appreciation of those around her knowing she came from a difficult family where her father died and her mother had to support a family made these kind gentlemen help her mother to provide help and get her exposure so she can earn money to help her mother and her siblings able to survive. Also, they kept her money in a fund since she was young. Plus, once her mother remarried, it was good that money he could not touched in case he married the mother to get her money which he later left the mother without a trace and she kept Brenda Lee protected by going with her to various places so Brenda Lee can earn money for her family. Eventually, buying a home for her mother which was Brenda's real reason for getting a home that would provide comfort and a decent home for the entire family to live there. God always protect his own servants.

This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts.
Hello Melody, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

I'm 80 & enjoy the songs from that time more than what they sing today.
Hello Terri, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I love her voice!! The tone! Even at a young age, she was 🔥
It's 2020....Who is with me....Everytime you hear Brenda Lee....It's still a WOW Moment...
I'm with you and totally agree.
James Swan you could see she was abused and afraid;this was a sick expose of what they could do. There was no backdrop! She was being sacrificed and she was singing for her life! There was nothing there,nobody!
Totally.
A walk down memory Lane.
I miss really Woman 🙈🙉🙊
My mother loved her and that's why my name is Brenda
Hello how are you doing today…?
Hey how are you doing?
Hi Brenda!
To me this is one the most beautiful song ever!!
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!

The sheer power in her voice is still one of a kind. Always been a Brenda Lee Super Fan!
Apple-solutely. And that was the Anita Kerr Singers doing the backing vocals. They did them for a good quarter or third of Nashville recordings at the time.
still listening in 2024
I was a very shy person who didnt like to be noticed and then i sang this song and all of a sudden people noticed me, brenda lee has always been one of my favs
Very good!
👍👏👏👏👏

Вот это голос, вот это женщина! Поёт, дерёт по сердцу и голове!
Nobody can do this song like Little Miss Dynamite!! She is amazing 👏 ❤
This version (in czech language) is also not bad... ua-cam.com/video/6ffRl7M8JjU/v-deo.html
Indeed
One of the all time great voices.
She's #1 in my book
Brenda Lee nailed it.
This song is 60 years old, but is probably the most haunting Song in the last 6 decades. Brenda lee delivery of this song gives me the chills. Simply memorable and permanently embedded in my memory.
I agree with you completely, feel exactly the same
Heard this song for the first time. Damn how beautifull it is 👌🏾
How lovely for you.

Eu já ouvi essa música, E conheci a jovem que canta agora. Pensei no período que era um garoto . Porém é uma JÓIA de garota Linda . Sou vovó LAÍSE SilVA.chau .
I am also 79 in 11th october, I love this music I remember those years of rock and roll. I bought one cd this music. I just loved so much, until today.
Merry Christmas Brenda. Thank you for make part of my youth, my life
Amazing range, perfect control, perfect delivery. Under-appreciated great singer!
Yeah! Her voice is wonderful!
I am listening to this with watery eyes and a lump in my throat, i am 72 and remember this from way back. still huantingly beautiful.
The cadence is unbelievable!
Not under-appreciated at all, but a great talent as you say.
We loved her in England, her singles constantly top of our Charts. Brenda Lee made my teenage heartbreaks bearable - I played her out and often felt she'd suffered with me! There's something about wallowing in misery that heals, what would we turn to without music? Yes as you say, perfect.
Einfach nur ein schönes Lied u gute Stimme, so soll es sein❤Ohne dieses Theater heutzutage, mit Ausziehen und Übertreibungen. Früher war ja auch zB ein Fußballspiel NUR ein Spiel, und kein Millionenmarathon
Soft beautiful voice and so lovely ❤, *** western Australia 🇦🇺 💖
Even today, I am stunned in awe at sweet little Brenda Lee's magnificent voice. We sure do miss you.
She is still alive thankfully

@@susannekurz9174 Hello Susanne, how is things going with you?
👏👏👏
The fact that she was only 14... wow
omg.
WOW indeed!!
Rele Cyrus No surprise that she was only 12 when she recorded the classic “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree”...what a talent!!
They used to make her sing for candy when she was 3 lol
Judy Garland, Brenda Lee an Leanne Rimes were young ladies with very mature voices.
A highlight of my youth. Love you Brenda.
Blenda je genijalna.❤❤❤❤❤
Something special in her voice that no one will ever sing her songs like she can.
What an amazing voice this woman had. Love it!
Love this. 68 from South Africa

Ningún cantante de hoy se compara a esto. Es sumamente sublime
Anna Gabriel Tambien

I just heard an amazing voice. Went through a range I cannot believe.
Her Voice is really magic 😍
As if you're living in her Song🥰👏
Hello Victoria
How are you doing today?
Je pourrai l'écouter pendant des heures ❤❤❤❤
that time! The best music, singers, writers, ever!
I love that TEOTFW is introducing younger fans of the show to good music.
I remember her for her Christmas album. And The song "Jingle Bell Rock!"
My parents played that album every single year for Christmas. It isn't Christmas until I play her songs, even now.
Qui écoute ça ❤ en 2024 🎉
Brenda Lee wonderful! Beautiful song! Thanks for posting.
I still remember the first time I heard her sing... I was 8 years old and I just sat with my eyes glued to her! She is timeless. What a beautiful, powerful voice she was blessed with. Thank you Brenda Lee.🎼🖤
How does a 14 year old own a voice like this? It's a pure miracle she was discovered but thankfully somehow it happened. She went on to grace us with many great songs. You go girl!
14? Incredibly mature voice and performance.
What about a 13 year old singing BLUE, by Leanne Rhymes?
So hauntingly beautiful! Soooo many evoked memories
Verdade
Hermosa voz!! Esa música de los 50 es inolvidable!!!
Canción maravillosa, una linda voz de Brenda Lee unica
LOVE BRENDA LEE ❤ VERY MUCH. JUST LOVE ALL OF HER SONGS 🎵.
Hello Mary how are you doing!!
Just stand on that spot and sing , and you will bring joy to people forever .
Don't give it a second thought Brenda. All is forgiven. We all still, and forever will, love you.
Hello 👋 Alberta. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Little A-Bomb, thank you for sharing.
She was underrated, beautiful voice. This is who Patsy Cline emulated
Still gives me chills. She had the 'it' in every song. So sweet...
Beautiful
She's adorable...I wish they still made sweethearts like her♥
Brenda is a one in a generational talent. Basically if she appeared in one of today’s talent shows she’d be a guaranteed golden buzzer and winner. This is a girl with zero formal vocal training and raised in a very poor family. She truly worked hard and have every right to be where she is today. Just amazing.
This generation does not respect this type of music , sad but ,too true!!!!! Not valugar or demeaning enough! The best music & time in America, gone but not quite forgotten!!!
I doubt she would get through today. No one likes talented singers anymore
@@SuperMerchus No way. Keep in mind Brenda was 14 when she performed this. As soon as she begins singing the judges and crowd would instantly jaw drop. True, there are a lot of talents in talent shows. But as good as they are, the problem is most of them lack personality and uniqueness - no star power. Brenda's voice would have no such problem. She will rock the stage and captivate audience just as well as the likes of Angelina Jordan, if not more.
Today's music? Mostly voulgar monkey gibberish...
Yes
