On March 28, 1959, Brenda recorded, "I'm Sorry." Released in May of 1960, the song stayed at the #1 spot on the charts throughout the summer, and stayed in the Top 100 charts for over six months! It produced Brenda Lee's first Gold Record in the U.S. and by the end of 1960, the success of "I'm Sorry," had made Brenda Lee a star of international proportions.
