Brenda Lee’s Foreign Language Recordings Now Available Digitally
For the first time, fans of Brenda Lee can digitally access a unique collection of international recordings of her hits. Titled The International Brenda Lee (Brenda Lee Sings in German, French and Italian), the compilation features 16 songs sung in foreign languages including 12 German, two French and two Italian.
Released via UMG Nashville/UMe, the project was originally launched on CD on Bear Family Records in 1992 and contains tracks recorded over a period of two years in Nashville, Tennessee and Hamburg, Germany. Songs on the album include Lee’s No. 1 “Anybody But Me,” “Fool #1” and “Kansas City,” with the former two recorded in all three languages.
“I was so lucky to not only travel many times overseas, but also to record and perform in the native languages of my international fans. It was a challenge, but something so fun and different. It’s amazing to me that six decades later, these very special songs can be heard in a new way,” shares Lee.
