Get up off that sofa & dig the Rockabilly sound. Excellent example of where Rockabilly is coming from & to think it was never played here in the Pacific North-West(Seattle/Vancouver).....what gives? Thx4 posting
Hi, was surprised to see my husband's first record he recorded at age 16 on Youtube! Harold Lee did also record on Columbia Records in the 60's & 70's and had several chart toppers with them. He also worked with Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, John Denver, George Jones & the list goes on as a recording engineer. I have the picture of HL that goes with this record when he was 16 also. He is an extremely talented man and the love of my life.
can i ask you how you knew harold?he was my uncle(my dad's brother).i almost fell over when i saw this.where did you get this 45?i would love to get one.did you know him from elmhurst or tennessee ?
Self-produced at the height of payola, Chicago DJs said Harold sounded too much like Elvis and refused to play the song -- unless there was something in it for them. The only DJ who played it was on a small LaGrange station that could barely be heard outside a 20 mile radius. The kids called all night and requested the song. The DJ went on to fame. He was DIck Biondi. Harold Lee's career never went any further as a recording artist.
I "fell in love with" the local "star" when I was 11. We didn't get many stars in Elmhurst, especially "sophisticated" older men who drove fast cars. He was soooo much sexier than Elvis!
@haroldleewife Want to get in touch with Harold. We were in Nashville together-my best friend.
