Chorus:
Jimmy Lee, this one's for me
And I'll always remember
Hey, Lord, history, biology
And that magical December, ah hah
Jimmy Lee, where can you be
If this song ever finds you
Won't you please explain to me
Why you left me behind you
Oh, yeah
Jimmy, Jimmy

Right in the heart of the 1980s when Aretha caught a new headwind and let us all know she wasn't going anywhere but up to the top. Miss her so much. Rest well, Queen.

Yep. Folk had counted her out but she doubled down on her demands bcuz she knew her worth and value. During this time Aretha Franklin, one who always lamented flying, decided that anybody who wanted to do anything with her needed to come to her to have it done. This and a lot of subsequent works were published and produced almost solely in The Motor City, Detroit, MI. Including the international number she did with George Michael, Knew You'd Be Waiting. Even the video was filmed transcontinental.
Long live Jimmy Lee! Mine died when I was 24. I'll be 70 on my next birthday and I remember him all the time when I'm laughing,joyous thankful that he was my love. He always will be that young man I loved so much! You put it so well,Aretha. Rest in peace,Aretha. Your voice and who you still ARE were a beacon of light!

Yes she is. This world was so fortunate to have her and those who lived during her lifetime and heard her were doubly blessed. She was a phenomena in and of herself. Thanks Aretha may you live on forever through your music and in our hearts. Incomparable.
HAPPY 72ND BIRTHDAY SONGWRITER/PRODUCER NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN (APRIL 23, 2024)
She was so beautiful
I'm having an Aretha night in honor of the Queen! Tears flow because you are gone. Your music is such a part of the fabric of memories in my life. Bless you. I don't care anything about any skeletons in your closet or anything else negative anybody may have to say about your life. What you gave to the world in music is uncompromised. Thank you Aretha. I will always love you!!

Nothing but Love & Respect to the 1 and only Queen of Soul... I just paid my respects today at her visitation. She looked so peaceful.... massive line of thousands of fans to pay honor with her music showering down upon us... a beautiful vintage pink Cadillac parked outside the museum. What a beautiful celebration of her life. Anyone else here in Detroit? I always loved this jam about 1st love ❤️ and heartbreak and the music video is so sweet!

This song always bring back those memories of my “Jimmy Lee“, when I was 15 years old. I am 64 and this song tugs at my heart streams every time I see that little girl cry. to tap it off, he looked just like him.
R.I.P. Dad his name was Jimmy Lee and this used to be his song
This woman's voice thru all her eras of music is just so amazing... I love this woman to pieces
Her father was the first preacher to record his sermons to albums for sale...she started in his church choir. A dynamic singer & she could tickle those ivories too. She's missed. Truly the Queen of Soul.

This song just takes you back to that 1.....I think mama Aretha went back in her mind as she delivered this song.....I just get goose bumps!!!
I love this song my daddy used to play this song all the time when I was a kid.❤️ R.I.P. Daddy & The Queen of Soul❤️
My god i cannot get enough of this song. Her phrasing is so unique. She ain't chesting NONE of these vocals and she is STILL killing it. Damn.
Her voice is singing the words and her eyes are telling the story! What a wonderful artist. Thank you Queen of Soul.
As a teenager in the 80s, a few things brought the great Aretha Franklin to my attention (sadly, it was not the UK radio stations playing her anthology); namely, the 'Blues Brothers' film (Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, et. al.), 'I knew you were waiting' (collaboration with George Michael), and this gem, 'Jimmy Lee'. Again, not played much on the airwaves UK-side, so thank you for this download, and thank you KZread 🎼👏🏾🌟❤

Song Of The Day #2 No one can tell a story like Aretha. Who can these days? The lyrics are so poetic that having a video is just extra. If you're like me, you can see every moment she sings about quite clearly through your own imagination or...your own truth. For me, it would have been "Kenny Lee." She may as well have been singing about me. It nearly happened the same way she sings about it; even the other woman he married. This whole song was just a page from my own life. I feel sorry for the young ones growing up now and do not have the benefit of music teaching or being empathetic to life's tough lessons. Wish I had listened to Aretha.

The amazing variations of runs and adlibs she worked in the vamp of this song, all while staying true to the melody of the chorus. Magnificent!
The only positive aspects of her passing away is that she is in a better place, free from physical pain and the trials, tribulations, racism, violence and all the troubles of this world. It is also a comfort that so many others have loved her and will miss her as much as I do. It hasn't hit me HARD. I didn't know her personally, but I think more highly of her than 90% of everyone I have ever known, including family, friends and "significant others." Why? because she has never failed or disappointed me in her performances or in how she lived her life. I have been a HUGE fan for 51 years and will reverse her until my last breath.

I used to see the guy who played Jimmy Lee all the time. In 1987, I worked at Imperial Sports at Northland Mall in Southflield, MI (suburban Detroit) and he worked right across the hall at The Gap.

PUT SOME RESPECT ON ANY COMMENTS! THE QUEEN OF SOUL MUSIC
I absolutely LOVE this song and video. Aretha at her best! She looks great. Sounds phenomenal. I love the story this song tells. It’s so well written. Just as good as “I Knew You Were Waiting for Me.” I just love it!
Cancer may have taken you Queen but your music 🎶 and majic will go on forever
