Tommy Youngblood
US
R&B/Soul
A.k.a. Wilee Lee McEwen
Tommy Youngblood was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi, but got his start in secular show business through Memphis legend Roscoe Gordon, after the usual early gospel background. In LA after an interlude in Uncle Sam’s armed forces, he joined Jessie Belvin in the Shields and cut “You Cheated You Lied”, which was a huge seller in 1958. As a solo performer he moved firmly into an R & B bag where his huge voice, chock full of authority and power was extremely effective. He was also a songwriter of considerable ability, penning the vast majority of his tunes. Sadly in the very frantic and crowded Los Angleles soul blues scene of the 60s he was unable to get a really big hit. He passed away on June 12 2011.
