Perhaps what set her most apart from other girl singers of her era was her onstage performances. She not only possessed undoubtedly one of the most unique female voices in the history of recorded music, but she also had the uncanny ability to hold an audience spellbound. Many reviewers compared her to Elvis Presley in her onstage dynamics - a comparison that found Brenda being dubbed "Little Miss Dynamite" - an association that endures to this day.

For Brenda the world was her stage. She was one of America's most in-demand musical exports of the 60s. Audiences in 52 foreign nations have shouted their approval and Brenda continues to be a well-travelled globe trotter. Her foreign tours bring her annually in front of fans with well-worn and well-loved collections of her music.

Brenda's survival instincts are well-honed and well in line with her "get down to basics approach" to life in general and her career in particular. She continues to do what she does best - sing. A continuing stream of Brenda's musical releases in the '90's have produced platinum CD's, not only on America shores, but in foreign music capitals from London to Tokyo.

Brenda maintains a vast army of fans, and adds scores of new fans annually. They encompass a generation of "baby boomers" who grew up with rock 'n roll. They also include her parents generation who were charmed with Brenda as a child performer and watched her grow up before their eyes. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all are the young people who populate her concerts and comb classic record bins to reassemble a career in sight and sound that they are too young to experience.
