Lee Mitchell - You And You Alone

At the end of his 5 year contract with Robey in the early 70s Lee was in Birmingham, AL working for Neil Hemphill with the likes of Sam Dees, Frederick Knight, CL Blast and Roscoe Robinson. His business partner was Jack Frost who placed the excellent You And You Alone with Musicor in New York. This classic piece of southern soul, with its arpeggio guitar and piano is another Lee Mitchell success. What a fine singer this guy is. The strong Is It You Or Is It I came out on Roll in 1975 and was followed by Lees biggest seller So Called Friends a couple of years later. When this upfront piece entered the Cashbox charts, Hemphill arranged for Lee to spend a week in the studio cutting an LP that Lee himself has said was excellent but sadly it has not seen the light of day to date. We live in hope.

Great song...though not a musical haven like

Memphis, Muscle Shoals, or even Atlanta,

Birmingham, Alabama did for a few years

in the late sixties to early seventies have

some great soul songs recorded there.

Thanks for sharing.
