The Bobbettes With Reggie Obrecht Orchestra - Mr Lee
Review by Matthew Rogers
The Bobbettes With Reggie Obrecht Orchestra's album Mr Lee is a fantastic blend of doo-wop and R&B that transports listeners back to the 1950s. The album features the group's hit single "Mr Lee," which showcases their incredible harmonies and catchy melodies.
The album also includes a range of other great tracks, such as "I Shot Mr Lee," "Zoomy," and "Dance with Me Georgie." Each song is expertly crafted and performed, with the Reggie Obrecht Orchestra adding a rich and dynamic instrumental backing to the Bobbettes' vocals.

About The Bobbettes With Reggie Obrecht Orchestra
The R&B New York girl group called "The Harlem Queens" in 1955 . Two years later, The Queens took the supposedly less-provocative name, "The Bobbettes" at the insistence of their new label, Atlantic Records. Soon again The Bobbettes were forced by Atlantic to whitewash their first hit, "Mr. Lee" turning a song about how much they hated the school principal into a song of endearment.
After producing a couple duds, The Bobbettes were let go from Atlantic and they were free to move back toward their original grittier style born of the playground and the projects. In 1960, they released the excellent track, "I Shot Mr. Lee" which gives some insight into what they actually thought of their principal. A year later, they released the track "I Don't Like It Like-That
