Brenda Lee

Live reviews

• Brenda Lee

  If you were to ask most people who they thought the top-charting female vocalist of the sixties was, you’d probably get plenty pointing to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald or Aretha Franklin as likely candidates; instead, though, the answer is probably a little more surprising, with the accolade actually falling to Brenda Lee. Ever since she launched her career in the mid-fifties as a child performer, she’s been something of a household name in the States, but she didn’t really truly break through in musical terms until the sixties, when the likes of ‘I Want to Be Wanted’, ‘You Can Depend on Me’, ‘That’s All You Gotta Do’ and ‘Break It to Me Gently’ all providing her with top ten hits. In the decades since, she’s continued to record sporadically, with the seventies a busy decade and those since less so; she’s made albums in four different languages in that time, though, and in 2007, her first album in ten years saw her try her hand at gospel, with an all-star cast of collaborators including Dolly Parton, Huey Lewis and Emmylou Harris. She still performs sporadically in the U.S., too, performing all of her biggest its form her career as an adult; UK appearances, though, remain rare.

• Excellent concert - we hope you make it an annual event - we'll be there each time! Your energy, your sincere talk to the audience in thanks of supporting you and your talents, your spirit and talents - you shared so much on that stage! Your mix of singing and talking to the audience and even inviting them up on stage to sing with you -what a treat. I couldn't believe when the show ended that 2 hours had passed. Hope you enjoyed your birthday and that huge cake. We still listen to your vinyl records and recently found a 45 of yours. We'll watch to catch you in Nashville again and hope to get your signature. We have a guest room with our framed record albums that are signed and we have one of yours. You were so gracious to sign another time and we were able to give it as a gift to my 81 year old mother - she remembered listening to you and remembered the way you looked on the album. Thank you so much for an enjoyable and memorable evening of song and fellowship.
