"A long, long time ago, I can still remember, how that music used to make me smile. "


BONUS - After the video, be sure to stay tuned for a rare clip from 1960.

In early 1960 at the Atlanta airport, a young man in uniform approached the teenage singer. "Brenda, I have a song for you", he announced. He was nearly unrecognizable in his military garb and haircut, but his voice gave him away. "Jerry! Sure, send us your song." responded the teen as she jotted down an address and rushed off to catch her flight. "Jerry" was Jerry Reed who Brenda Lee knew as a talented musician in country bands and he had written "Crazy Legs" for Gene Vincent. "Sweet Nothin's" was slowly climbing the charts and producer Owen Bradley was reviewing songs and trying to find a Rock & Roll song for her next session. Perhaps Jerry Reed had written the followup tune they were looking for? You know the rest. Released on 30 May 1960, "I'm Sorry" / "That's All You Gotta Do" was a two-sided monster hit.

The single ranks as the fourth most popular release in the 1950-60s era according to Billboard magazine:
(1) "Hound Dog"/ "Don't Be Cruel" (Elvis Presley, 1956): both sides reached No.1
(2) "I Feel Fine" / "She's A Woman" (The Beatles, 1964): No. 1/ No. 4
(3) "We Can Work It Out" / "Day Tripper" (The Beatles, 1966): No. 1 / No. 5
(4) "I'm Sorry" / "That's All You Gotta Do" (Brenda Lee, 1960): No. 1 / No. 6

Songwriter: Jerry Reed Hubbard (1937-2008)

Anytime you're feeling low
And you got no place to go
You don't have to be blue
Here is all you gotta do

Call me on the telephone
Tell me that you're all alone
And I'll come a runnin' to you
Baby, that's all you gotta do

All you gotta do when you're lonesome
Is to call on me
And I'll come a runnin' to you
As a fast as I can

I'll love and squeeze you
Uh-huh-huh
I'll try to please you
'Cause baby, I want you to be my lovin' man

I've been waiting for the chance
Me and you to start a romance
And if you feel the same way too
Here's all you gotta do

Tell me just a how you feel
Tell me that your love is real
And I'll give my heart to you
Baby, that's all you gotta do

All you gotta do when you're lonesome
Is to call on me
And I'll come a runnin' to you
As a fast as I can

Uh-huh-huh
I'll love and squeeze you
Uh-huh-huh
I'll try to please you
'Cause baby, I want you to be my lovin' man

I've been waitin' for the chance
Me and you to start a romance
And if you feel the same way too
Here's all you gotta do

Tell me just a how you feel
Tell me that your love is real
And I'll give my heart to you
Baby, that's all you gotta do
