BRENDA LEE : ROCKIN’ AROUND

Brenda Lee first attracted attention performing in country music venues and her first single, 1957's "One Step at a Time" was a country hit.
However, her label and management felt it best to market her exclusively as a pop artist, the result being none of her best-known recordings from the 1960's were released to country radio. She would not have another country hit until 1969.
Brenda Lee came to her biggest success on the Pop charts in the late 50s through the mid 60's with Rock and Roll styled hits. Her biggest hits during this time include "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)", "Sweet Nothins", "I Want to Be Wanted", "All Alone Am I" and "Fool #1".
Her biggest hit and probably her signature song was the 1960 hit song "I'm Sorry". Her other best known hit was "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".
Brenda Lee became one of the few female Rock and Roll singers of the era. With this, she created a whole revolution of future rock singers to come.
