BRENDA LEE
"SWEET NOTHIN'S"
Mastodon Post

youtube.com/watch?v=ReYuh1uKDF

Having asked friends for a favorite Brenda Lee song, one selected "All Alone Am I" along with "Sweet Nothin's." "Sweet Nothin's" has been covered by quite a variety of acts, from The Searchers (1963) to the Duke Robillard Band (2019), with the Pete Best Band(!), Burton Cummings, Wanda Jackson, and Diana Ross in between. I guess Brenda got their attention. Brenda did the best version of "Killing Me Softly" I have heard.

The Roberta Flack hit has annoying percussion and the Fugees hit has gotten lots of airplay and it has worn out its welcome. Judging from Amazon and Bandcamp searches, evidently Brenda's version is currently not available for purchase. I heard Brenda Lee at the Bangor Fair in Maine and I'll never forget it. It was outdoors in bright sun and she related one of her songs to what rock 'n' roll was like in the 1960s. She is one of the few early 60s stars still with us.

WANDA JACKSON
Right Or Wrong
1961 Canada pressing

All hail one of the great queens of country. A great Sunday afternoon chill record.

Why now deceased Aunt Ollie loved Wanda Jackson. That’s where I first heard her; one of the many weekends spent at her house in my much younger years.

My Aunt loved the title track here, and it’s amazing how something you heard when you were four or five years old can stick with you your whole life.

#TodayILearned Adele is a big Wanda Jackson fan

"According to Jackson, Adele mentioned to her that if she had not heard "Funnel of Love", then her 2010 single "Rolling in the Deep" may have never existed.

"I got addicted to this Wanda Jackson hits album," says the singer. "She's so cheeky and so raunchy. She's kind of like the female Elvis: really sexual, not afraid to embarrass herself."

My wife surprised me with one of my all time favorites. #WandaJackson was a certified badass. đŸ–€

Saw her play about fifteen years ago as a self-identified granny, and she still brought it!

And there was a #WandaJackson tune playing as we walked in, too faint for my phone to catch it, but I noticed.
