Lee Fields is a venerable powerhouse of soul and funk, whose career spans over five decades. Emerging in the late 1960s, he earned a reputation early on for his impassioned vocals and captivating live performances, which often drew comparisons to greats like James Brown. Fields has deftly navigated the changing currents of musical style, all the while staying true to the raw, heartfelt essence of soul music.

Despite being a journeyman of the genre, Fields witnessed a significant resurgence in the early 2000s, as the retro-soul movement began to take root. His gritty, authentic sound, exemplified in works like "Let's Get a Groove On" and later in "Faithful Man," resonated with a new generation of soul enthusiasts. A relentless work ethic has taken Fields from small clubs to international stages, and his discography expanded with albums like "Emma Jean" and "Special Night," showcasing a voice and spirit undiminished by time. His more recent releases, such as "It Rains Love" and "Sentimental Fool," attest to Fields' continued relevance and his undying devotion to the soulful expression of life's highs and lows through music.
