Brenda Lee in Brazil

 

29 January 1960 - Correio da Manhã's review of 'Miss Brenda Lee' which had been released in the USA as 'Grandma, what great songs you sang!' in which she sang evergreens like 'Baby face', 'Pennies from heaven', 'Saint Louis blues'...

Decca Records office in Rio comissioned an agency to work on a album cover to be released by them in Brazil called 'Miss Brenda Lee'. They sat down over a copy of Brenda's USA release 'Granda, what great songs you sang!' cut Brenda's figure from the cover and transfered it to a panoramic photo do Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach. There was a blunder though; the artists developed the wrong side of the negative and Brenda's figure was inside-out but it didn't break the illusion Miss Brenda Lee was enjoying the Copacabana scene even if she was dressed to night out...  

This is the original cover of the original album. 

Miss Lee's first album in Brazil, 'A Garota Explosiva!' (The explosive girl), released in 1959.

Bud Anderson of 'Papai Sabe Tudo' (Father knows best) - July 1959

Billy Gray played Bud in 'Father knows best'.

Kathy aka Kitten.

Young Johnny Mathis, a San Francisco superman.

 

Teen Magazine, May 1958 - tells all about Johnny Mathis and his agent Helen Noga, petite, dynamic, blonde, a former San Francisco café owner who discovered him, got him a recording contract with Columbia Records, then bought him two new suits and a round-trip ticket to New York where he subsequently cut his first hit, 'Wonderful, wonderful'.  

Johnny has always had everything that would spell success, but there was one hitch: husky-throated 23-year-old has always been incredibly shy - and still is. That's why he needed Helen Noga.
