Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lee Michaels was born Lee Michaels Goldberg in Los Angeles in 1944. He started playing guitar young, drawing from blues and rock influences. His self-titled debut album came out in 1968, and the single "Do You Know What I Mean" became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
He followed that with albums like "Barrel" in 1969 and "Lee Michaels 5th" in 1971, working in a blues-rock vein. Another track, "What Now America," appears among his notable songs. He kept recording through the 1970s with releases such as "Carnival" in 1972 and "Love and Understanding" in 1977.
Michaels had a band with him for much of his work. He was known for being outspoken and not always fitting industry expectations, which sometimes caused friction. His music blended soulful vocals with guitar work that nodded to his early inspirations.
