She was born in an Atlanta charity ward and raised on the red-clay of the backwoods of Georgia, the daughter of an itinerant carpenter. But Brenda had a God-given voice that took her from an inheritance of poverty and obscurity to a destiny of glamour, wealth, fame and adulation. Brenda Lee is one of the female founders of rock 'n' roll. She is a star on five continents and has recorded in seven languages. She's a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and was inducted in 2002 into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. This four-time Grammy Award contender has immortalized such classics as, "I'm Sorry", "Break It To Me Gently", and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree". She has scored hits in such diverse fields as pop, rock, easy-listening, country and R &. B. With a career that has thrived for almost six decades, Brenda Lee has lived through events, eras, and personalities that are as colorful as any in fiction or on film. And now this beloved star tells the sweeping saga of her life and times for the first time. Brenda recounts an astonishingly dramatic life, filled with early poverty, tragic deaths, a nonexistent childhood, a controlling manager, young elopement, illnesses, barely averted financial disaster and one of show business's most durable marriages. Her life has touched some of the most legendary names in the annals of entertainment - Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Sophie Tucker, Elton John and Willie Nelson among them. It’s a tumultuous life, sprinkled with humor, heartache, and hope, full of real emotional highs and lows. And yet, the real story here is that she is in many ways an Everywoman. This is a mother, a wife, a friend. Meet Brenda Lee.
