Elmer "Lee" Fields is an American soul artist born in 1951 in North Carolina.

Following up on the massive success of Lee Fields' recently released full length <i>It Rains Love,</i> Big Crown drops another 45 for the DJs and collectors, showing off two different sides of Lee &amp; The Expressions' range.

The A side "Wake Up" is Lee’s heavy duty, drum driven, anthemic tune for the times. Fields calls out the highly over-used and abused term of the current presidency "fake news." Over a hard as nails sound bed courtesy of The Expressions he goes on asking people to wake up and not let this propaganda sway them from knowing what is right and wrong.

The B side "You're What’s Needed In My Life" is a gushing testament to the beauty of love. Solidifying his title as the Professor of Love it's almost like he's writing your girl's valentine for you. Going beyond how happy the woman he is singing to makes him and telling of how she makes everyone she meets happier. This two-sider is about as classic as possible, a heavy duty funk banger on the A side, and nothing but love on the ballad B side. Another classic and timeless offering from the one and only Lee Fields.
