Fee was the original label for Float On by the Floaters, which was a huge American smash in 1977 or so. They are still gigging around.

I think Fee was owned by Woody Wilson. They released lots of records through the '70s and into the early '80s. I don't have a discography, but here are a few that haven't been mentioned:

302 Jimmy McKee Get Back on Down Pt. 1/Pt.2

302 L.C. Luckett Who Made the Mountain/?

70304 Leo Lyons Set Me up Baby/same

311 Floaters Take One Step at a Time/I'm So Glad I Took My Time

361 Flaming Emeralds Have Some Everybody/Instro

101 Carol Anderson Sad Girl/I'll Get off at the Next Stop

002 Volstarr Either Way/?

003 Darlene Winter Love High Pt. 1/Pt.2

0004 A.D.C. Band That's Life/Long Stroke

1869 Percy and Them All Day and Night/? (assume this is the same label, but haven't seen it)

2080 For Your Love/Glass House

2661 Floaters Get Ready/For Your Love

I'm sure there are loads more 45s, and I know there's at least one Floaters LP, too.

I have the Carol Anderson 45...I got it initially because of the names James Dean and John Glover.

Keith Rylatt had earlier introduced me to her 45 on Whip.....

By Ian W (213.122.132.131 - 213.122.132.131) on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:47 pm:

I bought it too! It must have been a new release when they played it at the Highland Room.

I also have listed:

Fee - 2081 - Flaming Emaralds - We Are/?
Fee - ???? - Jimmy Scott - If I Lose Your Love/Don't Go

The Darlene Love song sounds like Donna Summer!

In my previous note, I failed to credit Fee 2080 to the Floaters. Also, ran across another one today:

001 Beverly and Duane We Got to Stick Together/Glad I Gotcha Babe

This was released nationally on Ariola and peaked at #79 on the R&B charts in 1978.

I must've missed this one - wonder if
Jimmy McKee is related to Lonette ?

By Joe Moorehouse (64.12.97.11 - 64.12.97.11) on Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 02:29 pm:

Hmm, never thought of the possible link between Lonette and Jimmy McKee. By the way, there are two different mixes of Jimmy Mckee--one on a blue Fee label with handclaps, one on a red (but otherwise identical) Fee label with no handclaps.

By Keith Rylatt (195.92.194.12 - 195.92.194.12) on Saturday, August 03, 2002 - 03:46 pm:

Hi Everyone. Re Fee Records. There is an excellent article on the label etc in the current issue of Manifesto magazine by Steve Guarnori. Keith
