How something this good can remain obscure for all these years is such a sad type of miracle. I'm just now discovering this and here I am over 60 years of age and have lived in Ga. all my life.
I'm only 47, but have been obsessed with 1960's music since a child. I'm constantly being turned on to artists/songs from that period & the well never seems to run dry. Friends will show me records or links from 60's artists I've never heard of, & I typically at first thought assume it's because it sucks, but I'm continually proven wrong & amazed. Long live 60's soul, rock, funk, etc...!
When he says “if loving you is a crime then gimme time ‘cause I’ll always be guiltyyyyy” I screamed, threw one hand in the air, clutched at my heart with the other hand, and slid out of my chair. Why you gotta hurt me like that, Lee?
I'm 49 years old, so I can understand how this wasn't under my radar. I was introduced, as many, from a TV show. Shameful. This guy should have been a a legend. Just another on the list.
It’s simple, the music we hear isn’t necessarily the best music, it is the music we are sold by the businessmen who own and operate the music business. We’re told it’s the best and there is a huge, money-making apparatus that works to support that notion. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, but my guess is that you have a neighbor or someone you work with who is every bit as good as the ones you are told are the best. I know I do. In this case the record companies already had Pickett and Redding and were busy making money selling their musical talent. They didn’t have time to have more. The confluence of art and money is an interesting place where many truths are revealed.
In a weird way, this album and Moses's life work tells me how DEEP the music industry was in the 60's and 70's....the fact that he was barely noticed relatively speaking to the era is unbelievable. When my dad and uncles said they don't make music like they used, I see their comparisons are not even fair.
A momentous album. Almost depressing that something so profoundly beautiful could pass over into obscurity. It's a perfect free-standing argument for a "free" internet.
obscurity?? Just because YOU dont know a certain album (and i can guarantee there are thousands and thousands of great alums , masterpieces that you dont know of.) doesnt mean it passed over into obscurity. This what you display is the typical western narcissism.
Wow, a mixture of good and bad here. Lots of energy but some real sour notes. The bandleader should have had everyone tune up before recording. It's a mystery why he didn't.
The BEST SOUL/FUNK/R&B ALBUM in DECADES .. LEE MOSES is "THE TRUE MAN OF SOUL".. Give Him A Honorary GRAMMY. its Long Awaited and it'll be well Deserved... LEE MOSES ROCKS!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
@@tompaulcampbell absolutely! I know his niece and it is so cool to see old photos of him and the babysitters. Such a sad story in the end but timeless music.
That drummer is loose but tight! Love the way this has such rough energy and soul but everything hangs together 'just so'. And as for Lee's voice, wow, seriously hard to think how he didn't hit the big time, the man was robbed.
Since it's almost impossible to get this vinyl anywhere in EU I'm so glad that youtube exists... Found so many gems, rediscovered world of R'n'R from 60' and 70' especially rock from Japan, Korea, Turkey and all the rest of the oldies but goldies.
Ya, it's totally wild. The stuff from Japan is fantastic. I know that we have a lot of things to work on as a people.. but there are a few things we totally nail.
Je l'écoute souvent le matin, au moins une fois par semaine. Depuis que je l'ai entendu la première fois, je n'écoute plus les musiques de la même manière. Lee moses a touché mon coeur, encore plus que mes tympans.
+Ennui Escape Yep, he did session work in NYC, the wrong scene for his genre. Maybe if he had worked in Memphis or Detroit, who knows? He might have taken off like a rocket. He was truly great.
Damn shame Lee never got more recognition. This man pours every ounce of his soul into his music. We remember you Lee. Thanks for the music that makes me dance and cry
I really enjoy sharing my favorite obscure artists with my friends and family. This is most likely one of my favorites, and they are all shocked that they have never heard him before. R.I.P. Lee Moses.

As far as I can tell This is not the “time and place” album that released originally, but seemingly Lee Moses entire discography plus singles in one compilation. If you go to Spotify you will find 20 of the 23 songs split between two albums “Bad Girl” (1984) and “Time and Place” (1971) - the remaining 3 songs were singles / 45s outside of these albums For anyone wondering, I had to go down a rabbit hole to learn this
Dis dude da sh*t!!😍🥰 How da f*ck did we miss out on dis. I just discovered him last night watching "Snowfall" I was like who is dat!? I had to pull him up. He was singing California Dreaming. Thanx for posting dis album. 💐 I heard the one song by him "Adorable One" years ago but not the other songs by him. I think I heard the one of the other ones but I still think we missed out on some great tunes. So I guess I just didn't know who he was and the other jams. He makes me think of Celo.
So many songs we love most are sometimes too difficult to avoid redundancy and even plagiarisms's unintentional or not. But some are uninhibited pure potential and possibility music made manifest a different vein of influence. Rock and roll in spite of show business.
Yes Sir! This is some funky-ass stuff. Musically speaking, soul music peaked in this era. Nothing that has been made recently comes close. If you like this check, out Baby Huey - he's another forgotten gem from a bygone era.
I've just opened the latest MOJO magazine (Feb. 2022 issue # 339) and found a feature titled "1971 Nuggets" with a list of 50 lesser known gems from this year. What a find! I love this album.
@@verodemode merci de nous avoir épargné la publicité. C'est un vrai plaisir, je reviens souvent ici. J'espère que vous avez conscience du plaisir que vous apportez indirectement depuis tout ce temps.
Uma das melhores sonzeras que já ouvi enquanto vivo! Que eeesso!!! Conheci a partir do Baby Huey and the Babysitters. Conhece, algo similar e essas duas pedradas??
