Brenda Lee - Rockin Around the Christmas Tree

: music, December 07 2024 ▶

Mery Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you with this wonderful song! Out of many other hits, this is the one that I will point out for this year's celebrations. I am 100% sure you have heard it one way or another, but the success of this track is absolutely mind-blowing. Originally written by Johny Marks (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Holly Jolly Christmas...) in 1958, it became gradually the 4th most sold Christmas single. Mrs. Lee, at the ripe age of 78, made a music video in 2023 which topped US Billboard Top 100 chart, breaking numerous records. During the ages (literally!) the song had a plethora of artist creating their own versions - Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper, Meghan Trainor, Kelly Clarkson etc.
