In her day, Laura Lee Perkins was announced as the female edition of Jerry Lee Lewis. It came from West Virginia, the stubborn land of the coal mines. She got a piano from a neighbour; she taught herself how to play. When her family moved north, she got her big chance. A dee-jay in nearby Cleveland, Ohio, recognized her talent, recorded a few demos and introduced Laura Lee Perkins to Cleveland's legendary dee-jay Bill Randle. 

Randle got her a contract with Imperial Records. The record company flew her to Los Angeles, where she worked with Ricky Nelson's arranger, Jimmie Haskell. Nelson's drummer and legendary guitarist Joe Maphis played on their records. After the Imperial recordings sold badly, Laura Lee Perkins appeared for many years in clubs in Michigan, Ohio and southern Ontario. 

Only today, after exclusive new interviews, we learn the whole story of one of the most original and great singers of rock'n' roll - Laura Lee Perkins as a CD album.
