"I'm Sorry" #1 7/23/1960

Back to 1960 we go for the next few days, with the first #1 and first gold record for Brenda Lee. This was meant as the B-side of a Jerry Reed composition, "That's All You Gotta Do" which made the Top 10 on its own. She was just 15 and her label held off issuing the single, thinking she was too young to sing convincingly about the subject matter. Although it wasn't released to country radio at the time, it later became a staple of the format.
