Brenda Lee rocks Christmas charts yet again

• Little Miss Dynamite, who lives in Nashville, also celebrated her 78th birthday yesterday.

Catch up quick: For many years Lee was the only female singer to be inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

• That changed earlier this year when fellow icon Dolly Parton was inducted into the Rock Hall.
• Lee also had big success with songs including "Sweet Nothin's" and "I'm Sorry."

What she's saying: In an interview with the New York Post last year Lee recounted her first impression of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," which she recorded with producer Owen Bradley, another country hall-of-famer.

• "I really loved it because, unlike the [traditional] carols, it was a rocking kind of a song. I just had a ball doing it. It took us probably two takes. It was in the summer, and Owen had it all decorated up like Christmas, and it was just precious."
