Brenda Wows Teeners In Detroit
DETROIT — The famous Roostertail night club here broke a precedent last Sunday, March 14, by scheduling an early evening performance to allow youngsters to catch Brenda Lee’s act there. The special show, which began at 6:30 p.m., was oversold and reservation had to be turned down even though the show was only advertised four days in advance.
The young Decca artist apologized to the adults in the audience who accompanied their youngsters, for pegging the special show exclusively to the teenagers. Her showmanship and candor at the Detroit night club event was rewarded with heavy applause throughout the show and was capped with a standing ovation from both adults and teens in concluding the surprise early-evening event at the club’s famous Upperdeck ballroom. END.
Brenda Lee, “Little Miss Dynamite,” with a rare charted single, “Rusty Bells,” from 1965.
