Frankie Lee

Sorry for bad quality , really good band backing Frankie lee , Derek Obrien (guitarist) and his band from Austin .. 1990 at Poor Davids Pub Dallas.... Born in Texas, Frankie Lee mirrors many musicians' paths who helped form blues' 'West Coast Sound'. Lee was an R&B singer in the style of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding (he's often been compared to a contemporary Otis Redding) who learned his chops in church choirs and gospel groups in Texas. His recording career began in the early 1960's scoring several large regional hits for Don Robey's Peacock Records. He migrated West in the early 70's, calling Oakland his home and recording for Hightone Records with his cousin Johnny 'Guitar' Watson

Hi teebee, is this the Frankie Lee that did Full-Time Lover, later recorded by the TBirds on their first album?

Congrats from Spain. Alvaro

man, that's some stinging guitar in there! I take it Derek O'Brien is the guitarist? (sorry, not quite picking that up from your description bud). Never heard of him before - will need to look out more stuff from him! As ever, an incredibly worthwhile posting from the best youtuber in Texas :-)
