Lee McBee (March 23, 1951 – June 24, 2014)[1] was an American electric blues musician, singer and harmonica player from Kansas City, Missouri.
Though he was primarily a regional blues act in the midwest, McBee gained national attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s for his work with Mike Morgan and the Crawl[2] and with his band the Passions.
These bands toured the United States, Canada, and Europe and recorded on major blues labels.
[citation needed] McBee grew up in Kansas City and collected blues and soul records throughout the 1960s.
Beginning in 1982, McBee moved to Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles and recorded and performed with Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Rogers, Doug Sahm and Johnny Winter.
