布伦达·李——摇滚名人堂成员和乡村音乐名人堂成员——谈论了她的《最伟大的金曲》专辑，该专辑由UMG Nashville/UMe发行。

埃莉诺·罗斯福夫人曾经说过：“未来属于那些相信自己梦想之美的人。”一个体现这句智慧格言的女人就是布伦达·李。

布伦达·李的背景

李是一个国际歌唱偶像。这位身材娇小、嗓音浑厚、心地宽广的歌手从贫困中崛起，成为童星，然后在接下来的六十年中，跨越多种音乐流派取得了成功。

李是唯一一位被选入摇滚名人堂、乡村音乐名人堂和摇滚音乐名人堂的人。

李还是著名的格莱美终身成就奖得主，以及在她备受尊重的职业生涯中获得了无数荣誉。

李在12岁生日前签约具有标志性的默默唱片唱片公司，继而录制了诸如“甜蜜的忧愁”，“孤独的快乐”，“轻描淡写”，“我很抱歉”和当然还有那首经久不衰的圣诞节经典“跳吧，圣诞树”等里程碑式的金曲。

专辑收录了15首曲目，均为原始制作磁带重新制作，并已经数字化和以独家蓝色大理石颜色的黑胶唱片形式发行。

她的《最伟大的金曲》包括顶级歌曲，包括她的第一首冠军单曲“我很抱歉”（1960年）， “甜蜜的忧愁” 和冠军曲“我想要被渴望”（1960年）。 专辑中的11首曲目曾在《公告牌》热门100榜上跻身前十。

“我的厂牌对我太友好了，”李对这个新合集兴奋地说道。“向粉丝们表示感谢。它做得太好了。我引以为傲！”

“我们之所以在这里，是因为那些去买那些唱片的粉丝，所以‘谢谢你们，再次感谢你们’。没有了粉丝，我们会在沙漠里大声痛哭，”她指出道。

她最受欢迎的金曲“跳吧，圣诞树”，去年庆祝了65周年纪念，并且每年继续登顶榜单（或至少进入前两名）。

“他们将不得不向我在书面上展示这一点，”她开玩笑地笑道。“这是令人难以置信的。 十亿！哦，天哪！我接受。这太棒了。”

“去年对这首歌我制作了自己的首支音乐视频。那感觉不错，对吧？坦妮亚·塔克和特丽莎·伊尔伍德非常高兴能够参与其中，”李说。“他们是我最好的朋友之一，所以我们度过了美好时光。‘狂野的孩子’塔尼亚现在已经是乡村音乐名人堂成员了。”

当这首歌登上公告牌热100榜单冠军时，李成为在该榜单上获得冠军最年长的人，从而打破了切尔“相信”一歌在53岁时的记录。

“真的！哇，”她惊叹道。“这是值得记录的事情。我对此并不十分确定，但我会接受的。”

Brenda Lee — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Country Music Hall of Famer — chatted about her “Greatest Hits” album, which was released via UMG Nashville/UMe.

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” A woman that embodies this wise quote is Brenda Lee.

Background on Brenda Lee

Lee is an international singing icon. The petite singer known for her big voice and even bigger heart rose from poverty to become a child star and then continued to achieve success over the next six decades across multiple genres of music.

Lee holds the distinction of being the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame as well.

Lee is also a recipient of the coveted Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as well as countless other accolades during her respected career.

Lee signed with the iconic Decca Records label before her 12th birthday and went on to record such landmark hits as “Sweet Nothin’s,” “All Alone Am I,” “Break it to Me Gently,” “I’m Sorry” and of course, the perennial holiday favorite “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”

The album features 15 tracks remastered from original production tapes and is now available digitally as well as on vinyl in an exclusive blue marble color.

Her Greatest Hits features top songs including “I’m Sorry,” Lee’s first No. 1 single (1960), “Sweet Nothin’s” and the No. 1 track “I Want To Be Wanted” (1960). 11 of the tracks featured on the album were in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

“My label has been so good to me,” Lee exclaimed about this new collection. “Thank you to the fans for the support. It's doing so well. I am so proud!”

“We are here because of the fans, who go out and buy those records, so ‘thank you and thank you’. Without the fans, we'd be out in the desert somewhere whining big time,” she noted.

Her best-loved hit, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” celebrated its 65^th anniversary last year, and it continues to top the charts year after year (or at least be in the Top 2).

“They are going to have to show me that in writing,” she jokingly laughed. “That is unbelievable. A billion! Oh my Lord! I’ll take it. That is wonderful.”

“I had my first-ever music video for that song last year. It was good, wasn’t it? Tanya Tucker and Trisha Yearwood were so sweet to be a part of it,” Lee said. “They are two of my best buds, so we had a good time. Tanya, the ‘wild child,’ is now a Country Music Hall of Famer.”

When the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, Lee became the oldest person to have a No. 1 on those charts, thus beating Cher’s record for “Believe” at 53.

“Really! Wow,” she exclaimed. “That is something to write down. I plead guilty, I wasn’t sure about that, but I’ll take it.”

“I could not believe that one,” Lee admitted. That is precious. It really is. Mariah has done so well. She is the only person that has ever knocked ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ off the No. 1 spot, so she did well.”

Brenda Lee on her future plans

Regarding her future plans, Lee shared, “I would like to continue to keep my fans informed about what I am doing because they still write me and they still want to know, and that makes me happy. I want to continue to enjoy life a little bit.”

Brenda Lee reveals the key to longevity in music over the decades

Lee revealed the key to longevity in the music industry all of these decades. “The fans are the key to everything,” she underscored.

“If they don’t buy the records, if people and DJs don’t play it or if the media doesn’t write about it, then it’s not going to do anything. The fans are all responsible for my longevity,” she acknowledged.

Advice for young and aspiring artists

For young and emerging artists, Lee said, “Don’t give up. If that’s what you love, nobody can promise you that you are going to be a success at it, but if it’s what you love, that’s all the success you need. So, don’t give up.”

The digital age

On being a part of the digital age, Lee responded, “It’s crazy. I feel old with these new things coming in. I’m like ‘what the heck is happening?’ I never dreamed in my life that ‘Rockin’’ would be my signature song. Never! I always thought ‘I’m Sorry’ would be my signature tune.”
