Lee Fields has been singing since the 1960s. He helped fellow stars Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley get their start. Now that they have passed, it is up to him to carry on their legacy and keep the classic soul music alive.  

Early in the set, they play “Ladies” from their 2009 album, My World. It’s their most popular song on Spotify with over 27 millions streams.  He truly shows his love for women on this one. “Short ones, tall ones, big ones, small ones! Beautiful ladies / Lovely ladies / You look so good in the summertime”. It’s such a fun a song that has everyone dancing along.

Lee says the following song was used in a Super Bowl commercial in 2023. It’s “Forever” from his 2022 album, Sentimental Fool. “I wanna hold you forever / I’m gonna love you forever / I know forever might seem like a / Mighty long time”. It’s a great slow love song that is perfect for a wedding.

Fields says that one day his woman comes to him and says that they don’t have enough money. She can’t buy the things she wants. This leads smoothly into “Two Jobs”, which is also on Sentimental Fool. “One o’clock (keep on working) / Two o’clock (keep on working) / Three o’clock (keep on working)”. In the breakdown, he keeps counting all the way up to 12, and then starts again at 1. It makes for a great singalong. Towards the end of the song, he sings “I’m so tired when the day is through / I’m working two jobs and one of them is you”. There is some truth right there. Relationships are hard work.

In the end it was clear that Lee Fields still loves to sing and is keeping soul music alive.
