"Got that will to learn / Gonna be a star one day."
With just eight 45s and one LP to his name, Lee Moses's star shone briefly but brightly. Below you can see the sum of his output, cutting sides for Lee John, Dynamo, Musicor, Front Page and Gates, as well as a 45 and nine-track LP for Maple. In fact he almost had as many labels as he had songs.
But fleeting as his contribution to soul music was, his records – which range from raw deep funk to achingly powerful deep soul – are some of the most startling examples of the genre we've heard. His complete discography is as follows:
Lee John 618
Diana (From NYC) / My Adorable One
Dynamo 115
Never In My Life / If Loving You Is A Crime (I'll Always Be Guilty)
Musicor 1227 (Lee Moses & the Diciples)
Reach Out For Me / Day Tripper
Musicor 1242
Bad Girl (Part 1) / Bad Girl (Part 2)
Musicor 1263
How Much Longer (Must I Wait) / I'm Sad About It
Front Page 2301
Time and Place / I Can't Take No Chances
Maple 1001
Got That Will / Free At Last
Maple 6001
Time and Place (LP)
Gates 1502
Dark End of the Street / She's a Bad Girl
