The songs on Lee Wiley records are nostalgic.
When I released "Legendary Lee Wiley - Collectors' Items" on my old TONO label back in 1985, not only was I congratulated for its musical content but also for my decision to include the transcription of the only known radio interview that Lee Wiley gave.
They also brought back old war-horse Lee Wiley, when they bought the rights to release these rare pop-oriented sides she made.

Wiley also earned notice for her ability to organize a set of songs around a common composer or theme, which later became known as the songbook or concept album.
She was a songwriter and one of the few respected white vocalists in the jazz community.
At age 17, she was singing and recording with Leo Reisman's orchestra.

 Songbirds: Lee WIley
Wiley is less successful on several up-tempo songs, and on ditties such as her 1947 duet with Bing Crosby of Kern's I Still Suits Me, which requires a colloquial, lowbrow delivery at odds with her sophisticated sound.
The Wiley mystique was generated by both personal and professional circumstances, and further fed by some willful biographical manipulation by her musical associates, her record labels, and the artist herself.
Sensual and dignified, sophisticated and warm, Lee Wiley has inspired outbursts of sheer poetry from many a captivated listener.

 David Baldwin Productions
By the time, Lee Wiley made her recording debut, Leo Reisman was one of the major dance band leaders in New York.
Lee's own composition, "Got The South In My Soul" (co-written with Ned Washington and Victor Young), was the most interesting of the three titles she recorded with Reisman.
This production team is planning to cover everything Lee Wiley recorded up to 1954 (with the only exception being the master takes of her 1950-51 Columbia sides, which are readily available).

 Lee Wiley, Collectors' Items 1931~1955, Reviews
For those who are unaware of Lee Wiley, she is among the most individualistic and satisfying singers ever to grace the lists of American popular music.
In it, Wiley told how it all started, how the small-town Oklahoma girl first heard what some called the devil's music and was transported to a whole new world.
This LP is packed with 16 tracks (CD has 25 tracks) of vintage material, and it also contains a transcript of part of a radio interview that Lee made in 1971.

 Jazz: Wiley
Starting in 1939 Lee Wiley became the first singer to devote an entire album to the music of one composer; her George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Rodgers and Hart sessions are considered classic and the highpoints of her career.
She appeared at a few of Eddie Condon's Town Hall concerts but from the late '40s on Wiley performed and recorded less frequently.
Wiley married Jess Stacy in 1943 but after five years both their big band and marriage were history.

This intimate setting brings Lee Wiley's unmistakable voice front and center, hovering before the listener with amazing clarity, whilst the pianos swirl, jewel-like, behind her.

Subsequently I bought a two CD set of Julia Lee on the JSP label.
As the film started I heard a woman singing “Snatch and Grab It”, backed by a group which I suspected was jazz.
Couldn’t find anything in my collection, so I went to CD-ROM 3.3, typed in the tune’s title and presto saw that it was recorded by Julia Lee.

 I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues
Soulful Lee Wiley was the first singer to record albums devoted to single composers; long before Ella Fitzgerald, such albums of Wiley 78s would appear on boutique labels and be snapped up by sophisticates, played until the surfaces turned grey.

Wiley was neither Bobby's parent, blood relative, or guardian.
Wiley, nicknamed "Grandpa," was known for his good nature and his reputation for always doing favors for the neighborhood children.
Wiley was Bobby's grandfather, and that the gun would be held until Bobby turned 21, were in no way "material to the lawfulness of the sale." (emphasis in original).

 Gossamer into Spiderweb-- Lee Wiley
Her version of Porter's "Find Me a Primitive Man" should be nominated the anthem of postmodern anthropology.
Lee Wiley began singing in the 1920s, smooth and sweet and debonnaire.
She's not as well known as many other singers today, perhaps because her recording career was less prolific than many others; her style may not have carried over well into the World War II era and beyond.
