Lee Allen was an American tenor saxophone player. Phil Alvin, Allen's bandmate in The Blasters, called him one of the most important instrumentalists in rock 'n roll. Allen was a key figure in New Orleans rock and roll of the 1950s and recorded with many leading performers of the early rock and roll era. He was semiretired from music by the late 1960s, but in the late 1970s returned to performing intermittently until the end of his life in 1994. This song, the instrumental Walkin' With Mr. Lee, was released by Ember Records in 1957, and was a minor hit in 1958, partly because it was frequently played on the television program American Bandstand. This single is in Very Good Plus condition.
