Brenda Sings in German, French and Italian

Reflecting back on her early recordings in German, French and Italian, Brenda sums up their effect: «Those ties and roots that I worked on and nurtured in those early years of my career have really helped me now. I'm thankful that I was allowed to work over there and go over there and meld with those audiences.»

Brenda recalls that the results were clearly worthwhile: «I think the idea to do those things was a good thing. It certainly helped in those markets. ... I did enjoy singing in the languages, It was a lot of fun.»

As she toured in the countries in whose languages she had recorded, she made a point of singing the songs in their languages and recalls the audience reaction to them was good. Judging from the records, her remarkably flexible voice successfully added depth to the recordings, just as it did with her recordings in English.
