SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! Brenda Lee - 'I'm Sorry' (Woodhead & Blenda Remix) This song beats the Jesus & Mary Chain's cover of 'Surfin' U.S.A.' as the oldest song I've posted a cover or remix of thus far! 'I'm Sorry' is Brenda Lee's signature song and it hit number one in the summer of 1960 when she was only 15! She is also very well known for her 1958 holiday classic 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' which initially only sold about 5,000 copies in '58 and when re-released in '59 - but after the success of 'I'm Sorry' and it's third holiday release in 1960 it has since gone on to sell over 5 million copies! On a headline tour of the U.K. in the early sixties her opening act was none other than the (then) little known group from Liverpool posted below - the Beatles!
This remix by Woodhead and Blenda was released in April. Woodhead is a Vancouver dj and producer who is also a resident at Signal Saturdays at the Lotus. What makes this such a great remix is perhaps what an unlikely combination it seems to be. Although now that I think about it - both this and 'Eleanor Rigby' are from the 60's - and feature prominent string arrangements - and both fit together perfectly! This one came first though and while 4center goes for a monstrous sound this one is pretty chill - resulting in one of the finest and most unique remixes of the year - dubstep or otherwise - Enjoy!
