Part of it is the contrast. People listen to today's singers who are considered "good" and then they come across something like this and it can be startling.
Quick story: Brenda chose this song to sing for the Queen of England at the Royal show in 1964. Just as she came out to sing, a "funny" kind of problem caused a delay. Even a veteran performer might have been rattled by the situation, but not Brenda! She stepped up to the mike, hit the big note at the end and left to a standing ovation. Of course, when the Queen stands up to applaud, then everyone else does too.
Someone asked what the problem was, but after I answered, they deleted their comment. My answer was: It was a show business "bit"; where the British singers like Cilla Black were driven onstage in small English sports cars while Brenda was chauffeured in a big American auto - a Lincoln, I think. However, the man escorting her out of the car couldn't get the door open! Probably they didn't understand how the electric locks worked. It is funny to see the man yanking on the handle though.
The great Brenda Lee ! She and Patsy were my moms favorite girl singers from the 50's and 60's. Growing up, we'd listen to Brenda while on road trips. One half of the trip would be Brenda and the return trip would be Patsy.
Nice memory! Despite the age difference, Patsy and Brenda were good friends. Brenda has told how painful Patsy's tragic death was for her personally. She happened to be on a European tour when the bad news came. Being unable to return to Nashville for the services just made the pain more acute.
In this case, she is 17 in Feb '62. She started doing nightclubs already in late '61 at 16. The voice, of course, but I've come to realize she excelled at virtually all showbiz skills. And that is maybe even more remarkable than her big voice.
Unknown, of course, unless buried in some forgotten interview. He at least enjoyed the royalties as Brenda's albums were all over the charts during this period. I will say that her last note is stronger than Frank's. 😇
Brenda never cared if a song was Rock, Pop, Country etc. Only that it was a good song. Google Translate - A Brenda nunca le importó si una canción era Rock, Pop, Country, etc. Solo que fuera una buena canción.
I like the way Brenda uses the full volume of her mouth as she sings. When we danced to her music in high school I never knew that she was three months younger than I.
I've never seen a video of Brenda Lee singing this hit from the album "All the Way". She's wearing the dress from "That's All", but either way , it's her ability to deliver luxurious volume on perfect pitch that separates her from other singers!
@@MostlyBrenda Sorry, I am german, i cant' good speak english. I found Brenda Lee for 2-3 mounts in TH-cam, just i like her songs and her voice so much! Greats from germany (Königs Wusterhausen).
On this day in herstory: June 12, 1962, Brenda dislocated a vertebra in her neck during a performance at the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NewJersey. She was forced to cancel the last six days of her engagement and spend the rest of the week at Cooper Hospital in Camden. Dick Clark, who was broadcasting the daily American Bandstand show from nearby Philadelphia, taped an interview with an immobilized Brenda still in traction.
*Where is the microphone?* Looking at it years later, I realize that the camera and mike are on a "truck" that moves along side her in the opening sequence before stopping directly in front for most of the song. You can see Brenda projecting her voice forward. Near the end, the director reveals a large space over her head. Apparently, the truck also has hydraulics to lift and lower the camera. So the whole vid is just one camera. Brenda looks and projects up during this part.

He quedado como un hablador de tonterías, 60 años hablando de Brenda Lee y ahora que veo estos vídeos me doy cuenta que su imagen no es la que tenía registrada en mi memoria. Igual me pasó con Verónica Mazetti y Paola Ruggeri.

De alguna manera, ella sabe exactamente qué nota enfatizar.

I love this version by Brenda Lee. Such a beautiful voice.
Now I understand why my mom listen to her music.Never understood. before you get a certain age to appreciate how good it really is!

Yes indeed! Very enlightening!
Now that's how it done, pitch perfect and so emotion in her voice it gives me goosebumps, a masterclass delivery from Miss Lee x

What a cutie She was!
Бренда Лі - це чудово!
Неперевершено!!! ❤❤❤ Сильний голос Бренди зачаровує, як і її краса!!!🎉
This is a phenomenon - Brenda Lee. Chanteuse EXTRODINAIRE!
I can honestly say this Brenda Lee feels the same way. All The Way.
WOW. Beautiful . Love her voice. Lots of power, resonance, and emotion.

Such an emotional lift, thank you, Brenda!
She has such an amazing voice to come out of such a small body 🥰.
Dolly Parton said as much in the video th-cam.com/video/eGsmHSKVlew/w-d-xo.html
@@MostlyBrenda Oh wow thank you so much I've never seen this video before.
Brenda Lee was about 18 years old in 1962. (Born Dec. 11, 1944) She sure had a grown up voice; a very mature vocalist!
In this case, she is 17 in Feb '62. She started doing nightclubs already in late '61 at 16. The voice, of course, but I've come to realize she excelled at virtually all showbiz skills. And that is maybe even more remarkable than her big voice.
@@MostlyBrenda She was only 15 when she did "I'm Sorry" Just a fantastically talented lady.
Superbe . Merci
brenda you knocked my socks off with all the way i felt this song from head to toe
Absolute-Lee!
The dress,the hair,the bow that's the famous 50-60's all the way!

QUE TREMENDA CANTANTE... SU VOZ ES ÚNICA... CANTA TAN HERMOSAMENTE....
The greatest singer! Amazing!
Brenda Lee, love your fantastic voice, what a singer.
Action speaks louder than words.

Brenda tu música nos hace nacer de nuevo, linda linda
I like the way Brenda uses the full volume of her mouth as she sings. When we danced to her music in high school I never knew that she was three months younger than I.
She can belt it out, but still have precise control of the volume and pitch.
Well done Brenda Lee 🎶
Wwwwwoooooowwww Amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜
Merveilleuse Brenda Lee........ toute ma jeunesse....
Why is this so awesome? I keep listening to it over again lol
Maravilloso tema lindo recuerdo ❤

davidrlfield She also expresses emotions so deeply that it touches the listener at some level. Makes the performance memorable.
@@MostlyBrenda can you pls give me the link of "That's all"
@@shareefsalih9359 I have a playlist for that album, but currently one song, "Why Me", is missing from TH-cam. th-cam.com/play/PLE00D26C18B72548E.html
Wow! She was a pro at just eighteen years old.
+Rayz2cents Actually, she was born in December '44, so she is just 17 here in early 1962, but already a show biz veteran with 10+ years experience.
+Mostly Brenda
Impressive performance and that amazing voice...one of a kind wrapped up in a 4'9" package.

What a cute little doll with a voice of an angel!
She is one of the gretest!
Beautiful!

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
Perfect
Demais, maravilhosa!
ME ACOMPAÑA DESDE EL AÑO 59.. GRACIAS BRENDA DESDE CHILE UN GRAN SALUDO ......✌👍👍.......ADIOS........
Apaixonante! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lee's slightly husky voice kills me, even when I was 9, in 1957, it killed me...super amazing. Bucket list: to see Miss Lee perform before she stops.
I saw her two years ago with the same thought and, indeed, her appearances have become less and less frequent since then.
That was excellent!
The captions are there, but, I will admit I only see her emotional face and gestures. So much emotion.

What a pretty little lady with a big voice
She was just a junior in high school, but also a veteran television performer with about 9 straight top ten hits.

If you want a voice lesson take a listen. Just listen.
music by Henry Vars
No. See description for the songwriters. However, "Vars", whose real name was Henryk Warszawski, did write "Speak to Me Pretty" for Brenda.
Henryk Warszawski or Warszowski
Warszawski per Wiki. "Vars" is best known in the USA for composing the themes for the TV shows Flipper and Daktari. A versatile guy!
Real even
Surely she had some "coaching" ? She listened to other singers that influenced her "style."
"You talkin' to me?" Brenda names Hank Wiliams and Mahalia Jackson as influences, but she really doesn't sound like either of them, Her style seems to have flowed from within. She sounds like no singer who went before or any who have emerged since. Unique and inimitable, she's just Brenda!
She sounds a bit like Skeeter Davis but with a more powerful and shocking and deeper voice
She's is always a lady.
and the microphone??
Bless her heart...it looks like her arms might be too short for her body... But the voice is loud and clear.
Maybe her sleeves cut like that cuts off her actual arm length!
