Brenda Lee’s first and only recording session in New York produced her first hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Unexpectedly, the B-side became the hit, while the A-side received little radio airplay.
With “One Step at a Time” she became the youngest artist (age 12) in history to chart on the Billboard Country chart. That record stood unbroken for 43 years.
List price: I didn't find any price information for the Canadian release. The US release: Les Docks lists this at $7-$10. Discogs.com shows a median price of €4,45. I found 13 copies sold in eBay for $20-$68.
