Brenda Lee - The Making of "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" (Vevo Footnotes)

The 78-year-old pop and country music star recorded the iconic holiday nugget at the age of 13. It was always a staple of the seasonal pop, but blew up from its use in 1990's 'Home Alone,' and this month it took over the top position of the Billboard charts for the first time ever. (Mariah Carey, who knows something about holiday hits, sent Lee a congratulatory bouquet.) This is the first music video that Lee has ever made, and she invited her Nashville friends, neighbors, and hit-makers Tanya Tucker and Trisha Yearwood to be part of the shoot. "We wanted to make sure the video was timeless, and had a special Christmas feeling of being home with your family," says Lee. Watch our Footnotes interview to see how she was coaxed into doing that dazzling dance spin in "the new old fashioned way."
