Brenda Lee was only 15 when she recorded this. It was her second #1 hit. She recorded her first single when she was 11 and had her first #1 hit at age 12 with the Christmas classic "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" at 14. She had several more hits through the late '50s and early '60s. When I was in a band, I used to sing this song and "Sweet Nothin's."
Fun Fact....she met her husband while attending a concert by Jackie Wilson and Bo Diddley. She has sold well over 100 million records in her long career. She still performs, occasionally.
@@Dabridge4009 It's one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time, written by the same guy who wrote "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer". It has gone 5X platinum for 5 million digital download, not to mention over a million copies of the vinyl single. It charted at #14 in 1960 and, in 2023, made it to #1 on the Hot 100, 63 years after it's initial release!! In honor of that accomplishment, Brenda Lee appeared on national TV on her 79th birthday, to sing the song live. It's one of those songs that, when you hear it you'll know it.
@Dabridge4009 music is like poetry in that way. People see things so differently, and I love hearing opinions. Music has always been a huge part of my life, which is almost over. I love your channel, by the way.
@Dabridge4009 I am an old woman, who is at the tail end of life. I won't bore you with my health problems. I have always loved music, and it warms my soul to see young people enjoying all genres of music.

Brenda Lee was the top selling female artist of the 1960s, only Ray Charles, the Beatles and Elvis sold more records in that time period.
