演藝經歷
Lee Fields initially made his name among die-hard funk fans with a series of hard-hitting singles recorded for various small labels during the 70s. Everything about Fields — his look, his vocals, the grooves on his records — was so indebted to James Brown that he earned the nickname Little J.B. Fields never hit it big, but his rough-and-tumble singles went on to become popular collectors items. After a lengthy hiatus, Fields returned in the 90s as a soul-blues belter playing to female-heavy audiences on the Southern circuit. Thanks to sample-obsessed hip-hoppers and British rare-groove aficionados, interest in obscure vintage funk reached a peak in the late 90s, and Fields was fortunate enough to have remained active when new recordings in the style became a viable proposition. Energized by his return to raw, heavy, James Brown-style funk, Fields emerged as the leading light of the so-called deep funk movement with a series of recordings that often equaled, and sometimes outdid, his early work.
