DESCRIPTION:
Leroy Hutson is an American soul and R&B singer, songwriter, arranger, producer and instrumentalist, best known as former lead singer of the R&B band, which came to fame vocal group, The Impressions.

In 1971, three months out of college, Hutson was asked to replace Curtis Mayfield as the lead singer of The Impressions. He stayed with them for two and a half years, and recorded two albums with the group, before amicably leaving to pursue his own career as a writer, producer, arranger, and musician.

The first Impressions single to feature Hutson as lead vocalist was entitled "Love Me", released on Curtom records in North America in June 1971.

Solo career

In 1973 Hutson wrote, produced, arranged and recorded his first solo album, "Love Oh Love," and through 1992 established himself with a successful recording career, recording eight albums and charting with some 13 singles in the U.S.A.

Over a ten year period from 1973, he developed a cult following on the soul scene, which remains loyal and untarnished to this day through solo albums for the Curtom label "Love Oh Love", "The Man", "Hutson", "Feel The Spirit", "Hutson II", "Closer To The Source" and "Unforgettable." The "Hutson" album is regarded by some soul collectors as one of the best, most enduring albums of the 70s musically. Leroy's last 12" the "Share Your love EP" was released via the UK's Expansion Records

In 2008, Hutson returned to recording under the name Lee Hutson, issuing an album 'Soothe You Groove You on his own Triumph label and via download. Two years later, in August 2010, Hutson made his highly anticipated comeback to European stages, performing at Suncebeat Festival in Zadar, Croatia, at Vintage at Goodwood Festival and at Indigo2 in London. He was backed by the British group The Third Degree and the shows were praised by fans and media alike for the high musical quality and authenticity. Hutson plans to record a new album in 2011, sticking to his original 1970s sound that his fans love.
