Sam Fletcher

voc,
Singer of R&B/Soul and Pop
A.k.a. Ira Levi Fletcher

He was called " The Man With The Golden Voice". His biggest fans include some of history's greatest vocalists - Nat King Cole, Aretha Franklin and Nancy Wilson- to name a few. He was known for his good looks, impeccable showmanship and a voice that reduced listeners to tears. Sam Fletcher skyrocketed to fame after a series of ground-breaking 1960's television appearances and nightclub engagements that ignited L.A.'s legendary live jazz scene. Southern California's affluent African-American celebrities and professionals followed him to legendary rooms like The Memory Lane, The Pied Piper, The Casbah and Page 4. He reigned over the so-called" Mink Coat crowd"-L.A.'s well- heeled, martini-swilling Black glitteratti during America's period of social upheaval. He was a glamorous figure who carried himself with class and style. He was the country boy who made good. Today, some people call Sam's story "a great American tragedy" because of his public battle with addiction and eventual fade into obscurity. His most devoted fans, however, hold cherished memories of an exquisite talent and a shining star who brightened their life with beautiful music.
