INFORMATION
Billed at the time as the female Jerry Lee Lewis, Laura Lee Perkins was from hardbitten coalmining country, West Virginia. A neighbor gave her a piano, and she taught herself how to play. When her family moved up north, she had her big chance. A deejay near Cleveland, Ohio recognized her talent, recorded some demos, introduced her to Cleveland's legendary dee-jay, Bill Randle, who landed her a contract with IMPERIAL RECORDS. IMPERIAL flew her to Los Angeles, where she worked with Ricky Nelson's arranger, Jimmie Haskell. Nelson's drummer played on her records, as did legendary guitarist Joe Maphis. After the IMPERIAL records didn't sell, Laura Lee played clubs in Michigan, Ohio, and southern Ontario for years. Only now, in exclusive new interviews, do we get the full story of one of the original and greatest female rock 'n' roll singers.
