Lonnie Lee Interview
In the late 1950s and early 1960s Lonnie Lee was among the top artists in the country.
Last year Vinyl Vibes presenter Jack Hodgins had the pleasure of interviewing Lonnie on camera, and the video is now available on Lonnie’s recording‑label YouTube channel.
They talk about standout moments in Lonnie’s career — how he wrote his breakthrough hit Ain’t It So with Johnny O’Keefe in just 15 minutes, how he rang Clovis, New Mexico to speak with Buddy Holly’s manager Norman Petty, and what it was like touring alongside Jerry Lee Lewis in the early ’60s.
