Hi everyone

 

I know very little about Lee Moore apart from some of his brilliant recordings on Detroit and Michigan area labels like Riley's and Tri-City.

 

He did some great stuff and at least a couple of superb deep soul things.

 

But his sound is soooo southern soul - not uptown or Detroit.

 

Was he a southern artist with leased-in material. Or was he a Detroit guy?

 

I know some of the Detroit stuff got cut down south - like some Premium Stuff, Wheelsville, D-Town stuff tracks. 

 

I have never really even thought about Lee Moore until tonight, so really grateful for any info please.

 

TIA

 

Richard

Nice one John - thank you 

 

Didn't realise the Lee & Leopards connection at all.

 

I have the Diamond Jim, Riley's and Tri-City 45s  - but not the other ones.

 

All seem quite obscure - not necessarily expensive though.

 

Looks like Detroit but with a Southern sound.

 

Cheers

he led Lee and The leopards on both sides of a release on Fortune Records, as well.  He also wrote a fair amount of songs.

Lee Moore's I been down too long on Tri-City is a fantastic record

 

Cheers
