Will Lee with Anton Fig were like Peanut Butter and Jelly. They(w/Paul Shaffer) played the most legendary live gigs at the RR HOF ceremonies.
Joe, your interviews are the Gold Standard.
Thanks Robert… Joe
Such a wonderful interview. This is important stuff to memorialize, a real precious oral history that would otherwise be lost, and lots of fun to listen to at the same time. Thanks!
Fantastic interview Joe! I could listen to Will Lee talk about his musical career all night long. I never knew that he was the Bass player in Letterman's band. Thanks & I hope that you are doing well. Be safe!
Great story teller areal pro
Have always loved Will's playing and style! I even use his signature "Dean Markley Will Lee series" strings on all my basses!
what a joy to hear Will describe the joy of making music for a living
Really enjoyed this. To this day I remember the energy that Will brought to the band on Letterman. He always seemed to be loving it and had a huge smile. This interview might help explain some of the happiness he exuded. 🙂 Great stories. Thanks, Joe!
Great content, I can see why Will Lee was one of your 1st. Hall of Fame members. .
Musically speaking and with all the usual jokes aside - I love Mandy. I’ve loved it from its first piano note that I heard back in the mid seventies as a kid. The opening bit might very well be the most clever part of the song! It immediately captures the listener’s ear. Supposedly the song is about some beagle dog and not a woman…I don’t care really. And no, I really can’t imagine Spinners doing this tune. It cemented Barry into the crooner’s hall of fame forever. Period. Hands down! The song is timeless. Clive was right in hearing this as a ballad. Of course the bass part is one that I pay close attention to. We can ALL learn from how Willie here played in this incredible track. Thanks Joe for digging this one up and bringing it back to the light.
Really enjoyed that interview. Will Lee is so humble grounded and talented. And a super nice guy! Thanks again 👍✌️
Congratulations to Will on
being inducted to the MHOF&M
What a great interview....could go on for many more vids.
I watched Letterman from his early days ....and Paul was so important as was the band.
Love learning about musicians and their bands, gigs, sessions.
Nothing like your interviews Joe.
So great to enjoy with my morning coffee and often going back in time with you and your guests....While I sit over here in Cambodia loving the local music and new kids making a name for themselves...a young man Vannda is blowing up from local to international....
But, you and your museum take me back to when it was just WHB ...810am in KC and you turned that channel on for top 40....and growing up around country. KC was big enough everybody came to play concerts and small enough that I could get a ticket.
Indeed, a HOF player...by a HOF gent named Joe..
Thanks so much..
Good to see Joe again. Another great one man 👍
Thanks for the very nice comments RC…Joe
Just incredible and informative interview! And to think the first interview was in 2004! 18 years ago!?! C'mon, Joe!
Always liked Will, he’s a great bass player 👍
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
Thanks Joe.
Great Joe. Loved the Mandy story. I was on several sessions in the day where the artist didn't like the tune until it charted!
Excellent.
Thanks Joe great interview very interesting.
Thank you! Wonderful stories. This keeps the music alive for those later folks… youngsters… like you.
Good one Joe, you do great interviews, you always ask good questions.
Thanks Steve…Joe

Will Lee is also a good singer. Check him out singing MacAthur Park on Letterman.
This is so cool. Great interview. Totally fun to watch. Thanks again Joe 👍🏻😎
