David Lee (1936–2021)

Our friend David Lee, whose work was the subject of the very first Paradise of Bachelors release, passed away this weekend. David was an inspiring songwriter, musician, producer, and entrepreneur; a steadfast supporter of other artists; and an exceedingly caring, gentle person. Meeting and working with him was a defining chapter in my own life, and I’ll always be grateful for his friendship. Without his story we might not be doing the work we do; the label might not exist.

You can read about David’s life and work in the liner notes for Said I Had a Vision: Songs & Labels of David Lee, 1960–1988. His beautiful music is available to hear on all digital platforms.

Peace and condolences to David’s family and all who loved him.
