REATHER DIXON, 68
Original member of the Bobbettes which formed at Harlem's PS 109. They wrote "Mr. Lee" about their much disliked school principal. The song changed from negative to positive when it charged up the charts to #6 in 1957. They were only ages 11-13 in 1957.
They became the first girl group to hit #1 on the R&B charts.
Their sequel, "I Shot Mr. Lee" only went to #57.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
