Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Atlantic 45 rpm vinyl rock 'n roll / R&B "single," 45-1144, vinyl near-mint but with the labels moderately soiled. Originally the Harlem Queens, the Bobbettes' first lyrics for "Mr. Lee" made fun of the teacher, who they didn't like, at PS 109 in Spanish Harlem. Atlantic e…xecutives insisted on more upbeat lyrics (Hey, it was 1957. These days, they worry about Buffy or Riff Randell blowing up the whole damn school) and their first release became their biggest hit, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Pop singles chart and spending four weeks at No. 1 on the R&B chart. (Although we still think "The Harlem Queens" was a better group name.) This disc now reduced from $21.
