I haven't come across anything else by Mr. 'California Cool Breeze', and never really looked too hard either, to be honest. Nice enough cut, though.

Guest Soulbrew Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Gents as I've recently acquired a copy of said 7" on Mother records and couldn't find anymore info I've created a Discogs entry https://www.discogs.com/artist/4368876-Jessie-Lee-California-Cool-Breeze-Starks and a Youtube video so maybe we might be able to gather some more info. Funnily enough I was thinking to contact you Greg Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Weingarden Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Found a couple of these in New Orleans many years ago. It's late for me, but I still like it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
