Lee Fields
Pouring his grunts and screams over a legacy of funk
Lee Fields & The Expressions at Music Hall/Williamsburg
Born and raised in the small town of Wilson, North Carolina,Lee Fields spent his adolescence years singing in church and listening to R&B Artists such as James Brown, The Temptations, Eddie Floyd, Otis Redding and the classic sound of 60′s Memphis.
By the late sixties, Lee began his singing career, working with bands which would lay the foundation for funk music including Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, and Little Royal.
Renowned throughout the global Funk community, Lee Fields has poured his grunts and screams over a legacy of funk and soul hits from the early seventies, including such 45 rpm classics as She’s a Lovemaker, The Bullis Coming, and The Funky Screw, not to mention his well sought after Let’s Talk It Over LP. This LP draws four digit bids from collectors worldwide.
When Truth & Soul started as a record label in 2004, the first mission was to record a sweet soul record that would be modeled after the near perfect formula that bands like The Moments, The Delfonics, and The Stylistics had created. They called in a few trusty associates, which included singer Lee Fields, and what happened in the studio was pure magic and thus, The Expressions were born.
