To Pacflim ... I was a ten year old kid in his class and indeed witness this scene. Why is it memorable? Not only for the song and the group singing it but for the fact that Mr. Lee, a very rigid conservative, broke down and cried. And to see that as a kid would very likely stick out in one's mind perhaps forever. Much later as an adult I had written a semi-autobiographical book in which Mr. Lee is mentioned. East Harlem was an incubator of raw talent. So to answer your question: Yes.

@Panbaccha ... Panbaccha: Did you actually witness this? Endlessly fascinating; the era that is. We did the Frankie Lymon doc that ran on PBS in 1983.

Love this explanation about Mr Lee, it's very moving! One of the greatest songs I remember so well! And the Bobbettes are Awesome!

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A BOBETTE BUT THEY TURNED ME DOWN ONLY BECAUSE I WAS NOT A GIRL. LIFE SUCKS.

@FroggerJvids Cliff Lee is a Philadelphia Phillie for the next few years.

@helencheddar ... Hi ya' Helen ... the Bobbettes couldn't stand an uptight, conservative, robot-like, lookalike Clark Kent who was so rigid and constipated in attitude. I oughta know. He was my teacher too. 'I Shot Mr. Lee' was their second hit. Not their first.

Mr. Lee taught at PS 109. The Barbettes lived on the corner. I lived on 100th street, the most violent block in NYC's history. My book "The Hierophant Of 100th Street" were about those times. Mr. Lee looked like the tv version of Clark Kent. And of course the young girls fantasized aloud about it. One day he raced into the classroom and played "Mr. Lee." It was the # 1 hit in the country. He was so moved by it that he broke down and cried at his desk. ... I was only ten years old then.

Hi ya' D1nges ... not rude at all. I was 10 yrs old then. I am now 62 and still running the basketball as back then. Those days were different than today's time. It was much more communal and electrifying.
