There are some singers who deserve Legendary status and Brenda Lee’s career states volumes about her being classified as one.

She has lasted through several changes in music genres over the years and kept her career going over the course of a 50 year period.

For a singer who started having hit records when she started her recording career at age 13 is a testament to her destiny in the music business.

Who could ever forget her hit songs like "I'm Sorry," "All Alone Am I," "Break It to Me Gently," and the Christmas favorite "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."

Many of the major talent search shows on TV with their huge audiences are a means for singers to get exposure for their work. Then by a series of screenings the judges will trim the group down. In the later stages the television audience also votes and eventually a winner is chosen. Unfortunately there are many contestants who wind up getting left behind by the wayside as the elimination continues. But if they can really sing is there another venue where they can get their work displayed and not get left behind.
