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 30 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.

Later on they play “Never Be Another You” from their 2016 album, Special Night. “There will never be another you / You’re one of a kind / Heaven shouldn’t be better ’cause there is nothing / I said nothing, nothing as good as this”. Wow, this man really knows how to write a fantastic love song. It’s no surprise that there are a lot of couples in attendance tonight. 

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 and for the end of the set. 

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