a little more about Lonnie
Now lovingly referred to as .. 'the last man standing', he is indeed the only superstar from the original Rock'n'Roll era to be still writing, recording and performing in 5 star venues.
This young church choirboy discovered Johnnie Ray in the early 1950's and that was it! Like Elvis, Johnny O'Keefe, David Bowie, John Lennon and many other later stars, Johnnie was the light that led the way. Because he also loved traditional country music singers such as Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, Hank Williams and many others, his own style was influenced by a variety of techniques and then when Elvis introduced Rockabilly to him, the Lonnie we know today was complete.
Since his first pay packet as a singer in 1956, he has amassed a lifetime of awards, achievements, and successes and today, he still performs at the highest level and attracting reviews most performers can only dream about.
In a nutshell, that is Lonnie Lee.
