      I can remember watching her on TV when she was 12 or 13 years old. Even then she had that powerful voice. Even seeing one show, you remembered her. It's Christmas time, You have to play Rockin Around The Christmas Tree, Even if you've probably heard it before. Even after sixty years It's still an essential part of Christmas. It belongs on Friday because it is the greatest selling hit by a female performer.

    Either this is a coincidence or you were aware that she was all over the news last week when her Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, recorded when she was 13, set a record for taking the longest time to become the #1 song on Billboard's chart. She also had her 79th birthday last week. In the years 1958-62, she was alternately selected as the #1 or #2 female singer in the U.S. while in her mid-teens. She had a long career in country music.

      @haveanicedave1551 Před 7 měsíci +4

      Before that was probably Do that to me one more time & Please don't go took the longest time to reach #1. It took 18 weeks in the Top 40. It took Brenda Lee 60+ years for her song to reach #1. Also, they probably don't count the times she was not in the Top 40, but from what I have seen and remember, this song kept returning every year at Christmas and maybe only spent a few weeks in the top 40 each time and it adds up to more than 18 weeks total.

    My Parents had this song on Vinyl back when I was a little kid. I remember hearing it as a child. Of course they had the Christmas Album too, with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". Brenda Lee has spent her entire life performing. She was only 15 Years old when this became one of her biggest hits, but had other hits before this. She's in her upper 70's now and still does plenty of shows every year.

    I saw a biography of Brenda Lee on You Tube. She said that in the early years of her career she was singing songs about things were beyond her life experience. She was very convincing in any case. She has some great songs "Sweet Nothings", "Dynamite'", "Jambalaya", "Coming On Strong", "Dum Dum".

    My parents got together during this song back in the early 60s. From what I remember, my dad was beating up a gum machine in a malt shop. My mom was with her friends, thinking "look at this idiot". They all hung out as a group and got to know each other. A few months later, they were back in the same place or some place like it and this song came on. It was then when my dad took his shot and my mom apparently accepted. Things moved much slower back then (and maybe for good reason since they were both 17 & 18), but they got married about 4 years later in '65 and I came into existence a year after that.

Christmas is approaching fast and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is like one of those Songs for the season that must be heard or I just does not feel like Christmas much like "Merry Christmas Darling" by The Carpenters, "Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives, "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms and of course "White Christmas" by Bing. Many holiday songs by Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis fall into that category also. You call them Christmas Classics. Great pick and reaction.

    I fell in love with Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" after listening to the Golden Earring song "Radar Love" - but it was not until it was covered in the early 1990s by White Lion that I realized that the Brenda Lee reference related to the song on the radio. Before that, I thought Brenda Lee was in the car. Between the two versions, I learned she was a beautiful singer and when I heard "Radar Love" anew, I put it all together. "Coming On Strong" truly is a wonderful "some forgotten song" as the lyricist from Golden Earring so poignantly alluded. Now both are "some forgotten songs" as it were. It somehow makes me feel especially old.

In the mid-60's and through the 70's there were 3 guys from my hometown (Bartlesville, OK) who were her backing band.

    I love Brenda Lee. She's still performing in her ''90s today. I know her granddaughter well, who also performs with her during the Christmas season. Of course, Brenda's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is a Christmas favorite. I love her voice!

      Her 70s. That's awesome if you know her granddaughter. I was listening to Brenda as far back as I can remember from the late 50s.

    Putting in my vote for "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." It just isn't Christmas without hearing that song, and only the Brenda Lee version will do.

    Brenda Lee lived in my old neighborhood until about 10 yrs ago. A lower to mid middle-class neighborhood in south Nashville where she lived for decades. I used to see her at the grocery store all the time riding round on a cart by herself.

    Brenda Lee was the favorite artist of Barry Hay’s mom. Barry was the front man for the band Golden Earring. So when he wrote the lyrics to “Radar Love”, he had to include a tribute to his mom, mentioning the Brenda Lee so g “Coming On Strong”.

    I turned 58 in October, and I’ve heard Ms. Brenda my Whole life. My mom and my aunts all played record albums often, plus back then, we had the coolest jukebox in my uncles store. Brenda Lee always had at least one, if not more, singles in those jukeboxes, back when you could play about a dozen songs for 25 cents!

    This song reminds me of my late mother. She loved this kind of music. I was born in 1959, but I remember hearing this song a lot and know the words. I think Connie Francis was also one of her favorites which is why she named me Connie. She said that what touched her about Connie Francis was that she cried when she sang sad songs (there were no videos back then, only performances on television shows). We used to watch a lot of the musical shows back then.. there were not many options for TV.. We only had four channels to choose from and someone had to get up to change the channel or raise or lower the volume. Can you imagine that? LOL. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Take care and be kind. Keep up the good work kids!

    Hi guys. I'm 77 years old. I really appreciate you and Jamal keeping great music alive. I believe you can really feel it. BUT, it's like seeing a car wreck on the highway. It's hard to not listen but it brings back the best years of my life. So when I have the need to cry a little (With a smile on my face) I'll look you guy up. (It's easier than digging out my 45's. God Bless you both.

    Brenda Lee was just on the Christmas At The Opry TV special. The fact that "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" is #1 is amazing!
    As an adult in the 70's she did songs like "Big Four Poster Bed" and "The Cowgirl and The Dandy".

    You can thank Owen Bradley of Bradley studios for the sound, the violin repeating the vocals behind her. The "A" team of musicians were in session that day with Floyd Cramer playing the piano!!!

    Recently Brenda Lee has become the oldest person at age 79 (born December 11, 1944) to have a number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", recorded in 1958 when she was just 13 years old! She was close friends with Patsy Cline and shared the same record producer, Owen Bradley. Another little-known fact, The Beatles were an opening act for her when she appeared in Germany in 1962. Other hits by Brenda to react to include "Fool #1", "Break It To Me Gently", "Too Many Rivers", "All Alone Am I", "As Usual", "Johnny One Time" among many others.

    Just saw her live in Nashville at the 8th annual All for the Hall benefit for the Country Hall of Fame. Hosted by Keith Urban & Vince Gill. Guests included Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Old Dominion, Hardy, and Brooks & Dunn closed the show after three hours. Brenda Lee (Just turned 79) did Rocking Around the Christmas Tree! She sang it in 1958 at age 13. It just set the record for longest time to become #1 on the Hot 100 Billboard Chart where it currently sits. Awesome concert which raised almost a million dollars for the Hall. Everyone involved donated their time and talent. Vince Gill got a big laugh when he stated this is what you get for free on a Tuesday in Nashville!!!
