I first met Mamie Lee in Boston in the mid 60s. We were both married with children. I met her again in Los Angeles in the mid 70s. In the space of about three months, we made some music in Studio B at Joe Gottfried's Sound City Studios with Nancy Atkins' ARP synthesizer when I had some off time between session clients, (Mandrill, Fleetwood Mac, Candi Staton, Bill Cosby, Lonnie Jordan, Lee Oskar, Buddy Miles, et al...), got married, and then she tragically passed away. review & audio She made records for Don Costa in the 60s: liner notes & audio Poker Records 2008 reissue of the debut album from Boston's finest, originally released in 1966, featuring two bonus tracks. Mamie Lee was a singer with a style and a sound all of her own: The way she held a note or turned a phrase marked her as "one of a kind." Her early vocal style was certainly influenced by the great Dinah Washington but Mamie never used Dinah's technique to excess; the solid, impassioned (but never sentimental) quality of Dinah almost definitely inspired the underlying approach of Mamie to a song but she was very much her own artist. And if that wasn't enough, as a bonus, we have added the two sides from the non-album MGM 45. The most famous is of course 'I Can Feel Him Slipping Away' which became a massive club favorite with '60s Soul fans. The gorgeous vocal has ethereal properties and there can hardly be a soul in the world that would not be moved by this most beautiful work of art!
