The first woman to be placed in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, Brenda Lee is a musician of legend. There are only a few other singers in the same position. Of the sixteen double Hall of Famers, Lee and Dolly Parton are the only two female musicians on the list. It should come as no surprise that she’s received this honor, as Lee has sold over 100 million records worldwide in her 60+ years of musical work.

Lee was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Furthermore, she is a member of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. She was inducted into the Georgian Hall of Fame in 1982, but sadly, some house painters accidentally broke her award from that induction. Luckily “Little Miss Dynamite” was not afraid to ask then-Governor Zell Miller to replace it for her, which he did. Lee is also a member of the Atlanta Music Hall of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame, and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. Needless to say, she has achieved superstardom outside of her beloved “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
