If he could be remember by only one song, "Ya Ya" by Lee Dorsey would be it. Although not the only great song he was ever known for, it surely paved his way on the R&B and rock scene early in 1961 and has maintained its run even in the new millennium. A smash hit for this New Orleans-born performer, and later covered by John Lennon, Steve Miller Band, Johnny Halliday, Tony Sheridan, Lee Michaels, Ike & Tina Turner, Petula Clark, and many others, its easily one of more popular international songs ever recorded.
The #1 R&B charter, and top 5 in the top forty track was pulled from the Lee's debut album of the same name, Ya! Ya! The legendary 1961 LP features a treasure trove of more greatness including follow-up hits like "Do Re Mi," "Eenie Meeni Minee Mo," and "People Gonna Talk."
Even more great R&B rockers like "Give Me You" and "Chin Chin" were featured on the Fury Records classic, which has truly stood the test of time.
Friday Music is very pleased to announce Lee Dorsey's classic Ya! Ya! album for the first time in decades on vinyl. This amazing LP will also be pressed on colored vinyl and presented in its original album cover from the Fury 1961 release.
To further enhance your Lee Dorsey listening hours, Friday Music is also including three bonus single tracks for the first time ever on an official LP release: his smash hit "You Are My Sunshine" and the greats "Hoodlum Joe" and "When I Meet My Baby."
