RE: Blasts from the past.

Anyone remember this? They made great music together, but couldn't stand each other in real life. It got so bad, they couldn't bear to speak or even look at each most of the time.

They made some great songs though...especially this one.

It's Dec 1st...not too early for a Christmas song.

Brenda Lee is now 80 years old, she was 13 when she made this record, and it's still going strong today.

I was singing along to this in the car, when it came on the radio!

How can anyone not smile at that? It’s lovely ☺️

Whatever work she may (or may not) have had done over the years sure has paid off. She looks fabulous for her age - those cheekbones!

And you can still tell it's her, which is refreshing.

I remember when I was a kid, pre teen, she had a record out, I thought she was so lovely, small and curvy, I was as skinny as a rake.
I so envied her curves back then.

Speaking of 13 year old singers, this is the woman wearing the hat in Brenda's video. I saw her about a year ago and she still can perform.

She also lived a pretty wild life including a turbulent relationship with Glen Campbell..

And the other "older" woman in the video is this woman who has been married to Garth Brooks for almost 20 years.

If there is a song that every girl from 16 to 66 can belt out in a country bar, it's this 90s classic.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

I remember the bad publicity Glen Campbell and Tanya Tucker had back in the day. She was reported to be violent with him. Sadly he passed suffering from dementia a couple of years ago....yet he sang till the end.

Here they are in happier times, at least for the cameras.

Maddog · Go Outside

He lived aboard a houseboat on Lake Shasta in California, and kept a party going, hosting wet-T-shirt contests and sleeping all day. “A famous female country-music star and I once spent five days nude on the boat,” Haggard wrote in House of Memories. “We snorted drugs the entire time and didn’t go to sleep once.”

Rumor has it, he's talking about Tanya here.

That took ages to find...you might have told me it was on page 6 of 7.

I just came across this. Jesse J giving Whitney a run for her money...absolutely brilliant vocals.

It wasn't that difficult during my initial search, but when I hit the link here, I see what you mean..😳

I think Tanya has been with the same guy for like 20 years now, but she was a wild one..

Not uncommon for teenagers that hit it big..

Yep, Miley Cyrus springs to mind.

Unfortunately, this is the only recording of this song and obviously they were still working out the kinks..

And having a little fun with it..

Cancer won yesterday and the music industry lost a great voice..

Magica · Go Outside

I don't know him Madders, but cancer is a curse.
