When Lee FINALLY got to meet Nina Simone, she picked up the nearest magazine and tuned out Lee and all of his entourage that accompanied Lee from his LEGENDARY Detroit record store. In this experience of being slighted, Lee was not turned away for capitalizing on a chance encounter with the FRESH-faced but ROTTEN-prone Nina Simone, for this meeting was a press party pre-arranged and held exclusively in her honor at the private home of a local well-to-do music businessman in Detroit. Nina sat in a chair with her legs crossed and pulled up and read her magazine that clearly served more as concealment rather than as an information source. Lee admits he fell in with her in time, which one can assume is the balance of her Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sides evening her impression out in Lee's heart and mind. —————————— I am making a documentary/anthology about Lee Canady, who is a Motown music mogul who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in June of 1963 (and left early out of DISGUST with MLK's crookedness). This man was a husband and father PRIOR to finishing the ninth grade in rural segregated Arkansas (Lee Canady is a black man and lived in segregated, racist Arkansas in the 1930's and 1940's and 1950's). Lee Canady had the GREATEST RECORD STORE in the WORLD. It stood between 1959 and 1984 (twenty-five GOLDEN years in downtown Detroit). Lee's is a rags-to-riches-to-rags story, and though Lee is presently (in May of 2023) 88 years YOUNG, I yet hope Lee's fortunes swing higher up now than they EVER did before in his life. Lee certainly deserves it, and you deserve to TREAT YOURSELF by watching the Legendary Lee Canady TODAY! —————————— #NinaSimone #TakeMeToTheWater #Detroit #Arrogant #LeeCanady #Legendary #LegendaryLeeCanady #Nina #Simone #Blackbird #Mississippi #GovernorWallace #Wallace #Piano #Magazine #Listen #Music #Tune #Tunes #Melody #Melodies #MonroeMusic #LeesMonroeMusic #LeesMonroe #Lee #Canady #Happy #Serenity #Serene #Glad #Joyous #ManicDepression #Manic #Depressive #Depression #ManicDepressive #Bipolar #Disorder #BipolarDisorder #Genius #Madness #Dichotomy #Paradox #CivilRights #HumanRights #Mankind #Humanity #Culture #Art #Arts #History #OralHistory #Anthropology #Anthology #Documentary #Doc #DocuSeries #Series #Legacy #Anamnesis —————————— 👩🏾 NINA SIMONE 🎶🎹 WAS 💩 ARROGANT 😤 WHEN 🤵🏾‍♂️ LEE CANADY MET 🤦🏾‍♀️ HER THE FIRST TIME IN DETROIT 🚗🎵🎼 ——————————

Lester Young was known as "The President!" — Here is the FUNNIEST reminder of that FACT! :—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:— When the time comes to seek a way to RELAX, turn on the Legendary Lee Canady and watch and listen and laugh at Lee's reminiscing. :—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:— In this edition of "Listen In With Lee" (I realized later that the Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane track was not formally noted in the title card to this video [I suppose I was descriptive but not exhaustive in my efforts in making the start and end title card copy]), Lee Canady was like coffee creamer regarding his success in guessing Jazz greats played nearly at random for the man (Lee was "half and half"). Ne'ertheless, Lee lit up the room *I* was in with his searching for the real name that the nickname, "The President," connected with (Lester Young was nicknamed by "Lady Day" [Billie Holiday] as "The President," and in this video, Lee tells us why). :—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:—:— You might rethink these songs after falling for them in the way that Lee knows them, because Lee was contemporaneous with many of the timeless artists featured in this all-too-short sitdown (and listen) with the Legendary Lee Canady. I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you. —————————— Vivify yourself with this charming exchange between an octogenarian and a tricenarian over classic jazz masters. You will laugh uncontrollably and gleam with joy on account of this all-too-rare pure and decent video. —————————— There is no money for Lee or for me in a video like this, because the copyright holders of the music take the lot of the ad revenue on account of their music playing during this video. It is too bad, though, because of two reasons (two reasons of many I could list): 1: The now-dead featured musicians would likely appreciate this effort to get their name and worthiness of fame out to new minds and ears and eyes, and this video (and others like it) is blocked in Russia (I would assume this is due to the present war Russia is having with Ukraine [and I would assume that the dead Jazz greats that are being now censored decades after their death because of some war that is FAR removed from their time and is not associated with their art whatsoever are rolling in their graves that their music is not free to reverberate across the earth on its own terms]) 2: It took me north of twenty hours JUST to assemble the visuals for the green screen (it took even longer to edit this video). It took even, even longer to put together this video's audio and video. It took even, even, even longer to shoot this video. It took even, even, even, even longer to write the script and prepare otherwise (download music; talk LOTS with the Great Mr. Canady; research all sorts of topics related to and not related to the obvious areas of conversation I could explore with Lee; etc.) Should you see these videos I make and find yourself at once both rich and generous, direct your love towards me, and please multiply your original intended gift to stand in the place of all those that had the same feeling and ability but stopped short of giving (and especially for the many more that would give even more than you would dare to imagine giving but could not afford half of what you are giving). Where there is smoke there is fire, but where great art is made, hardly is there ever due recompense in due time. Please make the difference, be the change, and spare some change for this poor bloke that makes the content you make use of once in a while or more often than that. Thank you. —————————— Lee Canady: Clifford Brown & James Moody & Lester Young & John Coltrane & Duke Ellington & Max Roach

The singular vision of a genius beats a stew of midwits' ideas, and Lee saw something in Nancy Wilson (even though Lee hardly took on to singers). Lee broke Nancy Wilson on the radio as a result, and Nancy FOREVER returned the favor ALWAYS showering UNENDING LOVE on Lee for the rest of her life. —————————— Legendary Lee Canady: Nancy Wilson sang "Save Your Love For Me" to Lee at Baker's Keyboard Lounge —————————— #NancyWilson #BakersKeyboardLounge #Detroit ——————————

You need to know a man, named Lee Canady. The Minor Key was the FIRST cafe in the state of Michigan, and Miles Davis was asked to help open the joint, so he came to the Detroit cafe and played for ten days. Lee Canady was PERSONALLY invited to attend the opening (and to attend any concert or event there FOR FREE), because Lee ran the GREATEST record store in Michigan, Monroe Music (later renamed to Lee's Monroe Music). In this video, Lee recounts his only conversation (that Lee presently remembers) with Miles Davis at The Minor Key in Detroit when it first opened. Lee tells other GREAT tales in this video. It is a joy to make these installments of the Legendary Lee Canady, and I hope it is even happier (and increasingly so) of an occasion for you folks out in the world to see this presentation. I hope COUNTLESS more Legendary Lee Canady videos will follow this one. Lee and I are on a ROLL! Lee has the best stories and takes on things, and I am blessed to get to be in the room and even record some of them when Lee is firing at all cylinders, which is seemingly daily and constant (praise God). —————————— Lee Canady met Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter @ The Minor Key —————————— #MilesDavis #HerbieHancock #TonyWilliams #RonCarter #WayneShorter #TheMinorKey #MinorKey ——————————

It would not be the United States of America if our country did not have a few genius mavericks that broke the mold that built them and used the pieces to reshape our culture PERMANENTLY with effortless tirelessness. Lee Canady has worked for his keep (and then some). Lee built American music in his own BIG way from his historic Detroit record store. Much there is to say about Lee, and for about an hour, Lee discusses himself as he lived through and impacted thoroughly the history and moods of the Great American Songbook (from Jazz to Motown to Soul to Rock and Funk and beyond). Break away from dastardly deeds screened for your displeasure on every backlit surface around, and relax into some real and fun and momentous moments from a legendary life of one Mr. Lee Canady. —————————— —————————— Lee Canady talks Swan Catalog; Gino Washington; WCHB; Sugar Schwartz; Marvelous Marv; & Harvard Bar —————————— #SugarSchwartz #MarvelousMarv #GinoWashington #SwanCatalog #Detroit #Motown #Jazz #LeeCanady #Legendary #WCHB #HarvardBar ——————————

"Indubitably Edible Lee" with Lee Canady on Thursday, March 30th, 2023 in Lee's museum-like Detroit apartment. Lee Canady tries the Subway submarine sandwich from a TV commercial with Steph Curry. The Subway sub is called "The Champ." Lee and Ryan chomp on champs and chat Detroit music history in the area of the founding of Motown and Lee's part in that most invaluable American artistic/creative explosion in the middle of the twentieth century Anno Domini. Truly this is yet another "wouldn't be without Lee" examples. ATTN Subway: please give Lee Canady free Subway for LIFE! He is a good man and deserves so much more than even that amazing gesture of good will toward a living legend and testament to genius springing from its otherwise undoing, as Lee has survived and thrived through harder times into happier times and then onto harder times again, always persevering with VALIANCE. Lee Canady is a man to admire. Lee Canady is more than worth your while. —————————— I like making and posting those sorts of videos once in a while to break away entirely from the regular interview format and catch Lee in a super informal scenario that is also rife with fellowship (it feels realer and evokes different sorts of stories [hopefully]) —————————— Legendary Lee Canady: Lee tries Subway "The Champ" submarine sandwich from Steph Curry ad 🤌🏾🤌🏻🌯👨🏾‍🍳🏀 —————————— #StephCurry #Subway #Detroit ——————————

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one man to invent the direct input box which has connected bassists and guitarists and keyboardists and vocalists (among other musicians) with mixers for recording and/or performing, and to assume the powers of the earth element, molybdenum, the warm and flat response to which the Performance of Musicians and of Musicians' friends entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of Ed Wolfrum requires that they should declare the inventor which impels them to the ease of use in the owning of a direct box. —————————— MOTOWN cofounder, Lee Canady, & Acme Audio Motown D.I.

Lee began his Detroit record store (Lee's Monroe Music… ca. 1959-1984 [Lee renamed it "Lee's" after taking over the store some years in {Lee started as its manager}]) four years after Charlie Parker (1920-1955) died. "Old Folks" by Charlie Parker was one of the songs that first turned Lee on to the genre of Jazz. Lee Canady would LOVE to record his own version of the song, "Old Folks," complete with his own personalized lyrics. I hope to get an arrangement and record him singing this timeless track as soon as possible. This video is my near, dear pal, Lee, listening to a song he asked me to print the lyrics from for him, because (just like Frank Sinatra's "My Way") Lee told me he had a strong urge to sing this song his own way just like Lee's "My Way" "Lee's way" (as I like to say). I hope you enjoy this video. Since Lee and I are commentating Charlie Parker (etc. in his way of life) over this wonderful tune by Charlie Parker, really the copyright claim ought to be lifted for Fair Use reasons, but hey, what could someone like me do up against the likes of whoever is claiming this video now as their own over this inclusion of a song not recorded by them? —————————— "Old Folks" is a track by Charlie Parker on the album, "Big Band" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Big Band Studio album by Charlie Parker Released: 1954 Recorded: July 5, 1950 at Reeves Sound Studios, New York City, January 22, and March 25, 1952 at First Avenue & East 44th Street, New York City[1] Genre Jazz Label Clef MG C-609[2] Producer Norman Granz Big Band is a 1954 album by Charlie Parker of sides recorded in 1950 and 1952.[3] In 1999 Big Band was reissued with bonus material and outtakes.[3] Stacia Proefrock reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that these "Though Joe Lipman's arrangements are stellar, the musicians assembled for the sessions are an odd mix of Popular Music big-band players and improvisers. The album en todo also suffers from the Popular Music style of the songs themselves: solos are kept short, and songs limited to a three-minute length that was both radio-friendly and compatible with the 78-rpm format. But when Parker does solo, it is just as magical as any of his earlier recordings. The songs also have a sweet smoothness to them that makes them eminently enjoyable although jazz variety is lacking. This record is not perfect, but it still musters up moments of brilliance".[3] Track listing "Temptation" (Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed) – 3:33 "Autumn in New York" (Vernon Duke) – 3:31 "Lover" (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers) – 3:08 "Stella by Starlight" (Ned Washington, Victor Young) – 2:58 "Dancing in the Dark" (Howard Dietz, Arthur Schwartz) – 3:16 "Night and Day" (Cole Porter) – 2:52 "I Can't Get Started" (Vernon Duke, Ira Gershwin, Thad Jones) – 3:10 "What Is This Thing Called Love?"

The valley is a sacred area that lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation, the Native American people of the area.[2] Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."[3] —————————— Legendary Lee Canady: Berry Gordy vs. John Ford — Ramsey Lewis pioneered Christmas albums —————————— #JohnFord #BerryGordy #RamseyLewis #OrsonWelles #Detroit #Motown #HitsvilleUSA #MonumentValley ——————————
