december 11

Tis the season, so I can only imagine what Brenda Lee goes through. I mean, she was one of the 60's biggest stars: 37 chart hits, Rock n' Roll Hall o' Famer, her first number one at 16 years old, the BEATLES opened for HER...
But just like Billy Joel has "Piano Man", Brenda Lee has "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" haunting our radios forever, even if it is only for a few months a year. (By the way, she recorded "Rockin'" when she was 13 years old. It tanked during its initial release. Who knew?)

Anyway, didn't have much luck finding vintage Lee around the Tree. I found this telethon footage from a few years back...



-and this clip from the TV show American Dreams, with Kelly Clarkson playing Brenda Lee. Take your pick...
