BRENDA LEE


From Page's official:

On this day 28 Aug in 1964 there were three releases:

by Brenda Lee, a visiting American artist with ‘Is It True’; PJ Proby with ‘Sweet and Tender Romance’ - another American artist soon to settle in London; and Lulu - a Scottish artist who too settled in London and was something of our own Brenda Lee.

All three of these songs were recorded in the Decca Number Two Studio in West Hampstead.

Many a good recording was made at this location.

There was quite a buzz in the Number Two Studio at Decca as Brenda Lee was the first American to come to the Decca studio and try their luck at recording in England.

‘Is It True’ gave me a good opportunity to employ a DeArmond tone pedal.

The musicians definitely gave it their collective best that day.
