Some facts from Frankie Lee’s biography

…While Frankie Lee and Sonny Rhodes were living in Austin, Lee was heard by Ike Turner. That night, Turner invited him to join the Ike & Tina Turner road show. He was off with them the next day, gaining invaluable performing experience…

Later, Lee began working with guitarist Albert Collins and the two became good friends… Lee sang with Collins's band for the next six years.

By 1971, Lee was in Los Angeles, working with his cousin Johnny "Guitar" Watson.

In 1973, Lee moved north to the San Francisco Bay area, and in the late '70s, he recruited a young guitarist, Robert Cray, to play in his back-up band…

Nowadays Lee's live clubs shows are as energetic as ever, and he's lost none of his enthusiasm for performing, despite the fact that he's now in his mid-60s.

Whether you're an old friend, a casual listener, or someone who's never heard of this underrated talent, it's time to get acquainted with the one and only, Mr. Frankie Lee!
