Ray Agee

Date of Birth: April 10, 1930

Place of Birth: Dixons Mills, Alabama

Date of Death: 199?

Ray Agee made a number of mostly overlooked records in the 1950s and 1960s. Agee suffered from polio as a child and was left permanently disabled by the disease. After moving with his family from Alabama to Los Angeles in the 1930s, Agee and his brothers formed a gospel group called the Agee Brothers. Despite his gospel roots, Agee eventually turned toward blues and rhythm & blues and began recording in 1952. Throughout his career Agee recorded prolifically, though much of his recording catalogue, with the exception of his work with the Modern and Aladdin labels, is found on little-known labels such as Mar-Jan, Check, Solid Soul, Celeste, Brandin', Soul Town and Krafton. Some of Agee's later records include guitar work by Bay Area artist Johnny Heartsman.

Ray Agee slowly slipped away from the music business in the early '70s. Reportedly, he died around 1990. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi

One story someone told me they use to see him on the street, well dressed with his walking stick.
