BRENDA LEE "the definitive collection" cd,2006
Brenda had her first hit when she was just 12 years of age in 1956...
"dynamite", her first worldwide hit earned her the name "little miss dynamite" due her height of just four foot,nine inches...
had some 37 hits on the US in the 1960s,only surpassed by Elvis,Beatles,Ray Charles and Connie Francis...
her songs covered a wide range of genres from pop,rock,rockabilly,country, and ballads...
here is a collection of twenty eight hits spanning the years 56-79...
this one gets five loves,sixteen likes and five dislikes from me giving an overall score of 2.0
pretty hard to go past her haunting ballad "im sorry" as best track, she recorded this one aged 14 and her vocal range is really sublime, her execution of the lines with feeling and emotion is way beyond her youthful age, a very good vocalist who is still performing today,amazing really(69yrs of age with 57 years of hits behind her!)
