Lee Canady has a UNIQUE story from living through the 1967 Detroit Race Riot. Lee Canady was looted FROM. I have talked to dozens of old-timers over the last several years in Detroit. EVERY ONE LOOTED (except Lee), & most looted for booze.

The resultant gutted Detroit that continued worsening ever after is now a dark shadow of its former beaming glory. Detroit once was a major city that seriously rivaled New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the rest of America's metropolises. Now Detroit hopes to be compared to any of those towns favorably at all. 1967 Detroit effectively ended its own life (to this day) with that riot.

At the time of the 1967 Detroit Race Riot, Lee had to get a new sport suit pressed at the dry cleaners around the corner from Lee's home. This sport jacket was the nicest Lee had ever bought to that point in his life, so he was eager to finally wear it. Lee heard about the riots kicking up and decided to rush to get his suit, pants, and several dress shirts (Lee had all his shirts in rotation at the cleaners) before the looters reached the cleaners. Alas, Lee came upon the dry cleaning business to find folks smashing it in and running out with everyone else's clothes, including Lee's brand-new, never-worn sport jacket!

You would not believe it—Lee lived through the 1967 Detroit Race Riot (and Lee has a story from the event to boot!)! Lee just wows and amazes. This is the first time Lee has said this story in Mexicantown (I guarantee it). It is fascinating digging back through Lee's life. Besides covering tales of music, Lee's life has sensational stories of historic proportions. The great thing about Lee's stories is that one would consider them all illusions if it was anyone else in them. Lee's life was wild, but the man himself more than matched the bounds of its ups and downs.
