The Decca and Brunswick labels also issued a series of EP's by Lee during the 1950s and 1960s. Although none of them made charting positions both labels issued 66 EP's by 1967.

Starting in the 1970s, Lee's music was released on MCA Records. It was also marketed towards the country genre and started making the US Top Country Albums chart. This began with 1973's Brenda, which peaked at number seven. It was followed by New Sunrise (1973), Sincerely Brenda Lee (1975) and L.A. Sessions (1976), which also made the country albums chart. Additionally, the compilation The Brenda Lee Story (1973), reached number six on the country chart.
The MCA label released four more studio albums through 1985. Only Take Me Back (1980) made the US country albums chart.
