Singers are a dime a dozen. The one thing that separates good singers from great singers is energy. When some one can add that extra lift to their voice, and make it sound like they are actually having fun singing, you know you have a vocalist that can stand the test of time. Add that to a great song, and you have nostalgia. If anyone doubts this formula, they should listen to the song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee. The addition of Brenda Lee’s gutsy voice to this great song made history. Not only was it a huge hit for Lee, but even right now the song is sitting at #1 on Billboards Hot Holiday Songs Chart.
Lee was floored by this news. She has always known that it is a great song, but she had no idea that it would have a shelf life that might stand the test of time.
