“It’s crazy. I think I recorded that when I was 13 and never dreamed that it would become what it has become,” Lee, 81, shared. “I knew it was a good song. … I never dreamed that a Christmas song would be a big part of my legacy.”
“It was a lot of fun,” Lee recalled. “It really was. The warmth of the studio, the laughter, the magic—it all just took hold that day.”
Lee didn’t immediately have a hit song when she recorded “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” in the late 1950s. The song, which was recorded at Bradley’s Quonset Hut Studio in Nashville, per Billboard, was released as a single in 1958 but didn’t appear on an album until 1964’s Merry Christmas From Brenda Lee. By that time, Lee was already better known for her 1960 hit “I’m Sorry.”
“Owen just thought it'd be great to do a Christmas song that was really, really good, and he really believed in that one,” she said. “And I loved it, and we did it, and it just it laid around a while. And all of a sudden it was in the [1990] movie Home Alone, and then it just shot up the charts.”
In 2023, Lee released the first official music video for “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”. Pals Trisha Yearwood and Tanya Tucker appear in the video alongside the music legend.
