Soul Fever

More than three decades after its original release, and for the very first time on CD, is Marie Queenie Lyons cult classic "Soul Fever", one of the most well regarded "lost" albums of all-time. Queenie certainly had the qualifications (in both sass and vocals) to be hired by James Brown as one of his "funky divas". Marie "Queenie" Lyons is an enigma. After the 1970 release of this, her only album, she disappeared forever. Because of the prodigious wealth of talent in black America at the time, great albums with tiny marketing budgets were often overlooked. 'Soul Fever" was just one drop in a fabulous, funky ocean. Over the decades, this album has become one of the rarest and most prized Southern soul albums from that prolific era. Seriously recommended for fans of Betty Davis.
