• FIRST SINGLE RELEASE
"Jambalaya"/"Bigelow 6-200" was released as the first single on September 17, 1956.

• FIRST CHART SUCCESS
There was moderate chart success in early 1957 with Brenda's third release, "One Step At a Time." It climbed to #43 in the Billboard charts. The song peaked at #15 on the country charts.

The next single, "Dynamite," has importance because it gave her the nickname of "Little Miss Dynamite". . . because of her explosive stage act. The title is still used today to describe Brenda. "Dynamite" was the last chart success for the next 2-1/2 years.

In 1957, Dub Albritten became her personal manager and remained so until his death in 1972. Brenda and her family also moved to Nashville in 1957.

• FIRST ALBUM RELEASED
Brenda's first album, "Grandma What Great Songs You Sang" was released on August 3, 1958.
