The album was released December 9, 1963, on Decca Records and was produced by Owen Bradley. The album was the second and final album studio album released by Brenda Lee in 1963. Background and content ..."Let Me Sing" was recorded in five separate recording sessions between August 20, 1961, and May 29, 1963, at the Bradley Film and Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, United States under the direction of producer Owen Bradley. ..."Let Me Sing" contained twelve tracks, like all of her previous albums, and many cover versions of pop songs and standards. The album remakes included "Night and Day" by Cole Porter, Bobby Darin's "You're the Reason I'm Living", "At Last" which was recently covered by Etta James, and "End of the World" by Skeeter Davis. Unlike Lee's previous release of 1963, ..."Let Me Sing" contained more recent cover versions of pop songs, mainly from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Greg Adams of AllMusic called the album's use of Pop standards to sound "fresh" unlike her prior releases. Adams reviewed the album and gave it three out of five stars. Adams stated, "..."Let Me Sing" manages to sound vital where very similar albums failed later in her career. Not surprisingly, Let Me Sing was also Lee's second-to-last Top 40 album." The album was originally released on a 33 1 3 rpm LP record upon its initial release, containing six songs on the "A-side" of the record and six songs on the "B-side" of the record...."Let Me Sing" by Brenda Lee http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/brenda_lee/___let_me_sing_f2/ Rate Your Music 28 June 2010 The album has since been reissued on a compact disc in both Paraguay and Japan...."Let Me Sing" http://www.brendalee.co.uk/ Brenda Lee.com 28 June 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100414011341/http://www.brendalee.co.uk/ 14 April 2010 live Release ..."Let Me Sing" released its first single over a year before its initial release.
