DESCRIPTION:
American soul/gospel singer and songwriter Laura Lee had decent success on the Billboard Soul chart in the 60's & 70's with 15 charted singles, with 10 of those making the Soul/R&B Top 40, with her highest charter on the same chart with "Rip Off", which hit #3 on the Soul/R&B chart but only got as high as #68 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1972. Lee didn't have the same chart success on the Hot 100, with only one of those entries making the Top 40 (the #36 hit in 1971, Women's Love Rights). Her 1968 single, As Long As I Got You, Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at #123 (but hit #31 on the Soul/R&B chart that same year). Lee released Love & Liberty in 1971, which hit #23 on the Soul/R&B chart, but fared less successful on the Hot 100, where it reached a lowly #94. Lee still continues to perform and record gospel music, and has even become as ordained minister.
