Brenda Lee – In Praise of “Little Miss Dynamite”
Written by admin on December 11, 2012 – 4:27 pm -Harley Payette pays tribute to the legendary Brenda Lee, who celebrated her 68th birthday on December 11.
| On the surface, Brenda Lee might be considered one of the lucky ones. Every year, from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas, Lee is one of the handful of ’50s and early ’60s rock ‘n’ roll artists still consistently heard in the mainstream. Her “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is one of the true Christmas staples, ranking in popularity with “White Christmas,” “The Christmas Song” or any other standard you’d want to name. What’s more, unlike many of the Christmas standards, no version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has even approached Lee’s in popularity. |  |
