  • A fun tête-à-tête from two legends. Brenda wails "Big Boss Man", much to the delight of Johnny who weaves "Bad News" into the mix. She sings the Jimmy Reed classic in a blues style reminiscent of Bessie Smith. And if you think she sounds a bit like Janis Joplin here, it's because Joplin's main influence was Smith. Johnny seems surprised at first, but soon he is almost dancing and he was not a man known for movement on stage.
    Looks like Johnny is getting a little mixed up in the second part. Repeating "everywhere I go" and "Leaving little girls" as he tries to find his timing. At around 2:07, he appears to think its the end and says "Miss Brenda, its...", apparently about to say "nice to have you back" when Brenda alertly interrupts "yea!" and they get back on course.
    Show aired May 6, 1970.

    You simply won't find a cuter bundle of fun than Brenda.
    She's the very best!

    I never heard this song. Love Brenda Lee, and loved Johnny Cash. Anyone else think that he looks very handsome in this video clip?

    Brenda Lee is always fun and for some reason, surprising. Must be that size. Good on Johnny Cash, asking her on his show. Class up the joint.

      Rita, as I have tried to point out in the description and in other comments, they are doing something that is more difficult than it appears. Brenda is singing one song, "Big Boss Man" while Johnny is singing another one, "Bad News".

    Brenda Lee toured with Johnny Cash in the mid 70s. Saw them in a great show in Indianapolis, along with Mel Tillis, Statler Brothers, June Carter, Carl Perkins and an early tour of one of my favorites, Ronnie Milsap. This is posting under my son's name, don't know why. He wasn't born until much later!!

    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  Před 10 lety +4

      Thanks for the info. I didn't know about that tour, but it doesn't surprise me. Johnny says at the beginning of this show that he didn't plan to have very many guests back for a second appearance, but Brenda was so great in her first show in March that she was invited right back for this appearance in May.

    Johnny's low note is a C.... oh my.... 4 notes lower than the lowest note on a standard tuned guitar.

    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks ... Isn''t a guitar an octave lower than a piano? I seem to recall that from somewhere in the past that the low C on guitar is -8 notes relative to the middle C on piano.

    How did this duet come about? My theory: On Jul 12, 1969, Jeannie C. Riley sang Bad News with Johnny on the fifth episode of the show. Jeannie did not sing another song like Brenda does here, just some lines and she made lighthearted remarks about how "bad" he was. I have the feeling that Brenda Lee saw that show and thought the beat of "Big Boss Man" would mesh perfectly with "Bad News". And the next season, she got her chance. Well, I don't know for sure, but maybe....

    Why did Johnny Cash wear heels when Brenda Lee is so short? Looks awkward

    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Cash did cultivate an image. "The man in black". Tall with dark thick hair. Dyed and eventually a hairpiece. The heels fit in with that. John Wayne was similar.
