LEE FIELDS IS A 

FUNK & SOUL LEGEND

50 YEARS IN THE MAKING 

HIS REMARKABLE JOURNEY WILL TAKE

YOU FROM VINYL TO VIRTUAL & BACK AGAIN

His voice has been compared to James Brown, but Lee Fields is no knock-off – he’s the real thing. 

 

Listening to the soul sounds coming through his transistor radio in the late fifties and early sixties, Lee was hooked. Through the seventies, he made his living touring the legendary Chitlin’ Circuit alongside some of the greatest names in blues and soul history. He landed a gig with Kool and the Gang before their rise to fame. But, as the seventies came to a close, disco began its reign and Lee's soul career plummeted.

 

For decades, he thought his music dreams were dead. But with one phone call, everything changed...

 

Interspersed with striking, never-before-seen performances of new and classic Lee Fields songs, the Lee Fields Film (working title) takes us through Lee's memories from the moment soul music began to his hard-won present-day success - and shows how 50 years of changing technology has conspired to create one beautiful but fleeting moment in music history.
