A journeyman in the truest sense of the word; brilliant vocalist Ray Agee (an Alabama native transplanted to Los Angeles) recorded dozens of records for almost as many different labels. Sadly, he was stricken with polio as a youngster and died far too young (age 60 in 1990).
Thankfully, he left behind killer records such as this all-out groover.
from c1960...
RAY AGEE - LEAVE ME ALONE
Thanks for this tasty offering from an under-appreciated bluesman. And more generally, thanks for the seemingly endless steam of soul, blues and r&b obscurities on offer here. I never cease to be amazed by the prodigious volume of soul releases that came out in '60s and' 70s that were on average of a remarkably high caliber -- even if they never charted nationally.
ReplyDeleteGreat Tune! Real Real Love & I'm Losing Again Cones to mind as other beauties. Cheers For the class sounds.
