I'm 78 years old, and I'm still in love with this lady. I've had a crush on her since I heard her first song. Brenda Lee is my secret love.

16 years old when she sang this song. WOW !!

I’m 73 and she remains #1 with me today 🧨❤️👵

Between 2 icons of Brenda Lee and the late Judith Durham of the Seekers,you will never ever hear a bad word said...Such great gifts of song and their respectable beautiful voices were amazing plus their love for the good lord and good personalities really shined....❤

@@Sq12Sq22u22 you are so funny ! Also lacking knowledge but only opinion ! Did you know after her time as a preteen country artist after she recorded her big hit, “ I’m Sorry “ , critics worldwide compared her to Edith Piaf ! France even requested she tour France due to that fact ! When she arrived they couldn’t believe she was only 15 ! So they actually. I’ll Ed her as a 30 tr. old midget ! True story ! Also songwriter Kris Kristopherson wrote many songs for Brenda in the 70s ! Why ? Because he was a big fan of Piaf and said Brenda reminded him of her ! Did you ever see her live in her heyday ! I saw her in 73&75 ! First time I saw her at Chicago’s famed Palmer House . She did a version of the Tom Jones hit “ I Who Have Nothing “ reaching huge octaves and blowing the lid off Toms version and receiving a standing ovation ! She sang show tunes like “ What I Did For Love “ that captivated the audience ! Her singles were for mainly pop audiences but seeing her live, you heard the incredible talent that kept her career going for almost 60 years ! I’m sure Piaf would be proud of her ! Brendas versions of Piaf songs, “ La Vie En Rose “ and “ If You Love Me, Really Love Me “ are a credit to Piaf and herself ! I’ve heard both versions and Brenda holds her own ! Btw, I’m French so Piaf is well known to me !

Such a powerful voice coming from such a small package. What a tremendous talent. WOW!!!

I loved Brenda Lee when I was a teenager during the time when she was a teenager too. Actually I'm the same age as she. I saw her in concert twice in Corpus Christi, Tx. in the early 1960's. My opinion is that her voice was at it's best during 1958 to 1965. I still enjoy listening to those songs. However, thanks to KZread, I found her recordings of "All the Way", and "Pretend". I think she did an excellent job with those songs too. I do have several of her early recordings and still enjoy them to this day.

the new generation is trippin’ this is music

It’s great to read these comments about Brenda....I played piano and sang backup vocals on tour with her from 1996-2001.. she is as nice as described here..a wonderful talent..and a workhorse...we’d be in 2 time zones in 2 days and she was as strong as ever...I didn’t grow up really knowing her music..but definitely “I’m sorry” and “Rocking around Xmas tree”...I was in Nashville playing in a piano bar and she and her husband came out to my gig. I’m real honored to say she was my employer for a while. She has diehard fans all over the world. She would sign autographs for hours after the show.

This single was produced by the legendary Owen Bradley who, next to Chet Atkins, was a designer of those Classic Nashville sounds of that bygone, but still admired and loved era of American popular music. And that is the great Floyd Cramer on piano; you can immediately identify it by his tone and technique can't you?
