Lee Williams has been an artist that I religiously followed just buying any record he released blind, his music never failed to deliver and could be purchased at rock-bottom prices. I will post the records I acquired over the years as a tribute to his influence on me as a collector. This his first of two releases on "Black Circle"
Just beautiful
Boxes full of class mid-tempo Andy, that said every record on this label is great and reasonably priced.

Hey man! what a vocalist Lee Williams stupendous artist with the symbols.
I'm just guessing this probably was in the early 1970s when this was released.
I'm from Chicago and I am an old head R&B "Dusty-Record"Groove listener.
I thought I've heard it all. But However we never got this side played in Chicago.
Surely, it should have been. Sadly perhaps due to small record label distribution and promotion didn't get played by radio stations. Record Paola
and the politics of the music business
Kept this one off the charts. And I can testify to a few other notable groups that didn't get recognition but produced great R&B music contributions. "I love you more" and "Peeping through the window"
Are my favorites. Great Crate-diggin'
and thank you for the posting. You know your dusty-grooves.
Thanks so much for your comments it is so good to hear about the records that got played locally in the likes of Chicago. The above track was recorded in 1971 as you thought and Lee Williams released a second track on Black Circle Records 3 years later.
Over here in the UK, we were spoilt by the volume of records that started to appear from Chicago & Detroit around 1976. Within a couple of years, container loads were arriving from every state and county across the USA. By the 1980s We were able to attend multiple venues every Friday & Saturday night from 1am until 8am. This provided a huge amount of exposure to American Black music and artists, starting many of us on a journey collecting usually obscure soul records. Warehouses appeared in most major cities that sent out huge lists of records for sale. Many sold 20 records for a pound. Some of us that attended weekly venues started a lifelong love for collecting obscure soul records. It saddens me to know that the average young American teenager never got the opportunity to hear the quality music being recorded across the USA.
All the best Tony L
