Break It To Me Gently

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Break It To Me Gently" is a classic pop song written by Diane Lambert and Joe Seneca. The tune was originally a hit for Brenda Lee in 1962, climbing into the Top Ten of both the Country and Pop charts. Twenty years later, Juice Newton released a decidedly more "torch" version of the song. Newton's version hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #2 on the Country chart, and #11 on the Pop chart. Newton received a Grammy award for her remake of the song.
