Brenda Lee was born Brenda Mae Tarpley on Dec. 11, 1944, in Atlanta. She was the second daughter of Rubin and Grace Tarpley. The youngster showed distinctive vocal talent at age 3, won her first singing contest when she was 5 and was performing regularly on an Atlanta radio station when she was 7. It was at about that time that a TV producer in Augusta, Ga., changed her name to Brenda Lee. In 1953, when she was 9, her father died in a construction accident.

Country singer Red Foley heard Lee when she was around 10 years old and subsequently invited her to appear with him on the popular TV show, Ozark Jubilee. Her popularity and high visibility soon won her guest shots on such popular network programs as The Ed Sullivan Show and The Perry Como Show.

In 1956, Lee signed with Decca Records, where she later united with the legendary producer Owen Bradley, who would oversee most of her hits. She charted her first pop single, "One Step at a Time," in 1957, but it made it only to No. 43. (The song did, however, go to No. 15 on the country rankings.) Though it would take a few years to break in the U.S., her early records sold well in Europe. She toured France in 1959 and has since established herself internationally as one of the most visible and beloved ambassadors of country music.

It wasn't until 1960 when Lee took "Sweet Nothin's" to No. 4 on the pop charts that she made a major impact as a recording artist. Over the next 13 years, she scored two No. 1's ("I'm Sorry" and "I Want to Be Wanted"), four Top 5s and five Top 10s. While its short seasonal nature kept it from ever topping the charts, her "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," recorded in 1958, has become a holiday classic. A spellbinding stage performer, the diminutive (4 feet 11 inches) vocalist was dubbed "Little Miss Dynamite" following the release of her second charted single, "Dynamite," in 1957.

In 1962, during a Jackie Wilson concert at the fairgrounds in Nashville, Lee met her future husband, Charles (Ronnie) Shacklett. They were married on April 24, 1963, while Lee, still in her teens, was at the height of her record chart popularity. In spite of the pressures of show business, her marriage has endured. She and her husband have two daughters, Julie LeAnn (born in 1964) and Jolie Lenee (born in 1969).

Just as her pop presence was waning, Lee struck it big on the country charts. Between 1973 and 1975, she had six consecutive Top 10 hits on Decca's successor label, MCA. She continued to inhabit the country charts through the '80s and '90s with "Tell Me What It's Like," "The Cowgirl and the Dandy" and "Broken Trust" (with the Oak Ridge Boys) all going Top 10.

Apart from performing, Lee is a tireless supporter of the Nashville music community at large and of numerous charitable organizations. She has served on the boards of the Country Music Association and the Recording Academy (the Grammy organization) and has been active with the Kidney Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy organizations and the March of Dimes.

Juice Newton

This came up while I was listening to YouTube today. My mom loves Juice. She has all her albums.







Some of my friends think it's really funny that I know all the words to these songs. Hey, when you grow up listening to my mothers music it grows on you. Me and one of my good friends actually did a lip sync contest when we were in the 9th grade to "Queen of Hearts". I played the guitar and he was pretending to be the drummer. We didn't win, or even place, but it was fun.

The lead singer, Brian Canham was very hot! He was only 20/21 at this time. He was born in 1962. I just love his voice.

Lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh, take it take it yeah

But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's getting unbelievable

Lyrics

I've got a gal she lives up the holler
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
She won't come and I ain't gonna foller
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

The big girl a court an the little girl slight you
Big dog'll hunt an little dog'll bite you
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

Ol' man Ol' man I want your daughter
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
What d'ya want her fer?
To bake my bread an to carry my water
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

Get your horse and put her up behind you
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
Take her home and whup her til she minds you
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho hum a doodle-em day
Chickens crowin' on Sourwood Mountain
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day

I've got a girl she lives up the holler
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day
She's so fat she can't hardly waller
Ho-de hum a doodle-em day



My father would sing Sourwood Mountain to me as a child while he bounced me on his knee. It is one of my favorite memories of him. Frank Proffit's version is the one he would sing. "Ho-de hum a doodle-em day"...
