Brenda Lee (born Brenda Mae Tarpley; 11 December 1944) is an American performer and the top-charting solo female vocalist of the 1960s. She sang rockabilly, pop and country music, and had forty-seven U.S. Chart Hits during the 1960s, and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Ray Charles. She is known for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree", which has become a Christmas standard.
At 4 ft 9 inches tall (approximately 145 cm), she received the nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" in 1957, when she was twelve years old, after recording the song "Dynamite" and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following.
Brenda Lee's popularity faded in the Late-1960s as her voice matured, but she continued a successful recording career by returning to her roots as a Country Singer with a string of hits through the 1970s and 1980s.
She is a member of the Rock and Roll, Country Music and Rockabilly Halls of Fame. She is also a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Brenda Lee is the only woman to be inducted into both The Rock and Roll and Country Music Halls of Fame. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
