The two of them toured the world together in the late Fifties and have crossed paths a few times since. At 73, Lee is the youngest of those artists.
Right now, though, Lee is thinking less about her legacy and more about her left foot, which she broke recently and which is bothering her more than usual.
The prominent display of the diploma serves to illustrate a point the singer wants to make clear: Brenda Lee is normal. If not normal, Lee is at least almost unfathomably levelheaded, a former child star who steered clear of the fates of, say, Frankie Lymon or Michael Jackson or her good friend Tanya Tucker, who could never avoid being in tabloid headlines.

Lee rarely thinks about her legacy; it is, in fact, at odds with who she is — the ever-gracious small-town dreamer who has never taken an ounce of success for granted. And yet, sitting for the most in-depth print interview of her entire career, Lee is in an unusually reflective mood.
What is that? She had already soaked up the vocal intonations of her heroes, and even as a pre-teen Lee could muster the world-weary authority of elders like Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly and Wanda Jackson.
That same year , she signed with Decca Records, and the family moved to Nashville. One year later, in , the year-old singer entered a recording studio to sing a recently written tune by the holiday-music songwriter Johnny Marks.
