Brenda Mae Tarpley (December 11, 1944, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.)
From Fats Domino, Paul McCartney and Elton John, to Connie Smith, Dolly Parton and Kristin Hersh, many musicians have cited Ms. Dynamite Brenda Lee as someone to watch within the world of music. But how about the wider world of entertainment?!

Strangely unreal, like something out of a David Lynch movie. But about a minute in, you hear that growling roar in its embryonic form.

That was awesome. I read that Ed Sullivan said she was one of his favourite people.

Me too. In fact, she's probably my favourite Christmas artist alongside the Ronettes. I posted a Brenda Lee seasonal music youtube video on the imdb2 Music messageboard, I think last Christmas.

Hell of a groove she laid down there with the big man in black. Dolly Parton says her and her idol Brenda Lee are a pair of real life musical shorties.

Brenda Lee has a picture of Elton John atop her piano at home, she loves the way he tickles the ivories.

IMDb bios can be misleading ..... In reality, she acted in 1980 Smokey and the Bandit II as Nice Lady 1961 The Two Little Bears as Tina Davis and appeared in two "Music Videos" Plus two appearance on TV The Red Skelton Hour (TV Series) Guest - The Mayor of Central Park (1962) ... Guest 1961 The Danny Thomas Show (TV Series) - Teenage Thrush (1961) ... Janine Poloka
BUT there are all these non-acting credits ... Soundtrack: TV (71 credits) Show ShowSoundtrack: Movie (52 credits) Show ShowSoundtrack: Video (4 credits) Show ShowSoundtrack: Short (1 credit) Show ShowSoundtrack: Video Game (1 credit) Show ShowSelf: TV (85 credits) Show ShowSelf: Documentary (5 credits) Show ShowSelf: Video (2 credits) Show ShowArchive footage (10 credits) details here:

Get this. 'Dick Tracy' is my favourite comic book movie of all time. Brenda Lee's one of my favourite musical artists of all time. My favourite rock 'n' roll band of all time is Throwing Muses; main songwriter and muse Kristin Hersh is from Atlanta, Georgia, like Lee, and Throwing Muses' rarities collection was titled 'In A Doghouse' (their debut demo album is known as the 'Doghouse' cassette).
Thing is, Brenda Lee branched out in to all kinds of styles and was also a proponent of interpreting film music. I bet she likes the Hollies, what with Elton John laying down some piano for them ... funny thing is, Graham Nash has recently been in the studio with soul singer Brenda Lee Eager!
