It has ever since the 1960s, when he was a teenager in North Carolina sweating it out on juke joint stages, crumpled dollars hailing at his feet. It continues now that the living legend is in his late sixties, ushering in the most successful and fruitful period of his career. Today, he stands at the forefront of the soul revival, a bustling and ever-growing corner that has nourished the nutrient-starved waters of 21st century pop music with virtues it lacks: a sense of timelessness, of eternity, of a tradition extending backward into generations. Lee Fields music has been chopped up and sampled by hip hop artists as diverse as J. Cole and Travis Scott: Cole, Fields laughs, thought that the sample was taken from a song "from back in the day." It wasn't, in the strictest sense -- Cole sampled "My World Is Empty Without You" and "Ladies," which were both from Fields' album My World, made in 2009 -- in a deeper sense, it was true. Fields' music doesn't belong to Now; it belongs to eternity. He has been testifying, in the purest sense of the word, since Otis Redding was alive. He is living history. In more recent news, Fields has reunited with Daptone Records and is in the studio working on a new album slated for a late 2022 release. The label celebrated by dropping "Ordinary Lives," a single from an unreleased Dap-Kings session, available wherever you stream music. -- Please review our current COVID-19 policy here: www.thaliahallchicago.com/covidpolicy Lee Fields Kendra Morris
