The possessor of one of the most awesome voices in the history of Popular Music, the diminutive (just 4'9" tall) Brenda Lee was known as "Little Miss Dynamite". A hugely successful child entertainer, she made the transition to stardom with ease, cutting her first record at the age of eleven and her first million-seller, 'Sweet Nothin's', at the age of fifteen. Despite her relative youth, Brenda was the most accomplished, versatile female singer of her era, equally comfortable with either rockers or ballads - she sold millions of both. This eclectic compilation of thirty-one of her classic recordings is drawn from EPs issued variously in the US, the UK, France and West Germany between 1959-62. It includes most of her early hits, a few misses, a number of flips, and a dedicated, EP-only side.
