LEA ROBERTS - ALL RIGHT NOW


I'm afraid that I don't have any information at all about Lea Roberts, other than that her tracks were recorded in Los Angeles. With a BIG voice that approaches the power of Aretha, she should have had more commercial success. This single takes the soulful sound heard in Free's classic "All Right Now" and multiplies it to the 10th power, beaming it far into the soul stratosphere. Quite raw for the mid-70's as well!

from 1975...

Lea Roberts was born Leatha Roberta Hicks on 4/15/1946 in Dayton, Ohio. Made the Top 100 (92) with this song in April,1975. That's the goods from Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles.
