	Lee Wiley Webpage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lee was born a Willey, but she thought Willey didn't sound professional for a jazz singer, so she changed it to Wiley.
		Lee Wiley was a Cherokee, who left her home for New York City, in 1928, at the age of 19.
		Lee's appearance were rare during the late 1950s and 1960s but she was coaxed out of retirement to record again in 1972.

	Lee Wiley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lee Wiley (9 October 1915 - 11 December 1975) was an American jazz singer popular in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.
		Although today less well-known than such singers of the same era as Billie Holiday, Wiley is nonetheless still much appreciated by jazz aficionados and nearly all her recordings are in print.
		Her last public appearance was a concert in Carnegie Hall in 1972 as part of the New York Jazz Festival, where she was enthusiastically received.

		Wiley responded that the gun was for Bobby, but that he Wiley was Bobby's grandfather, and that he was going to hold it for Bobby until Bobby was 21 years of age.
		Wiley's involvement in the transaction is the smoking gun that proves both the illegality of this purchase and the existence of the conspiracy.

		Starting in 1939 Lee Wiley became the first singer to devote an entire album to the music of one composer; her George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Rodgers and Hart sessions are considered classic and the highpoints of her career.
		Wiley married Jess Stacy in 1943 but after five years both their big band and marriage were history.
		By then she was forgotten to all but veteran record collectors but Lee Wiley had made her mark decades earlier.

		The defense argued that Wiley was just her lawful agent implementing her decision, not a straw man, and that as a matter of law the statute was not violated.
		Moore's hollow words to Wiley and the clerk demonstrate is adherence to her original decision not to go on the papers or to sanction the acquisition of this gun.
		Wiley is an archetypal straw man, and his involvement is the smoking gun that conclusively proves both the illegality of this purchase and the existence of the conspiracy.

		Bobby convinced Wiley, a neighbor who often did favors for local children, to purchase the handgun by telling Wiley that he had his mother's permission to buy the gun and by promising Wiley that he could "keep the change" from the purchase.
		Wiley replied that the gun was for Bobby, but he then falsely stated that he was Bobby's grandfather and would keep the gun until Bobby was 21 years old.
		The majority held that Wiley's statements on ATF Form 4473 and to the pawnshop clerk were not material because, in enacting Section 922(a) (6), Congress intended to prohibit the acquisition of firearms by minors only without the knowledge and consent of their parents.

		Wiley herself once told an interviewer, "I just sing as I like." On another occasion, she said, "I know how to breathe, that's all there is to my singing." She also said, "I don't know how to stick to the (original) melody." Whatever it was, it certainly worked for her.
		Lee Wiley (October 9, 1908 - December 11, 1975) was born in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, which she said was "as small as you can get." She was part Irish, part German, and one-eighth Cherokee Indian as her brother Ted told me (although her sister Pearl preferred to deny the Wiley family's Cherokee heritage).
		Lee's road to stardom opened with her appearance on "The Pond's Cold Cream Hour," which was later changed to "The Pond's Cold Cream Hour Starring Lee Wiley." On that show, she not only sang but also acted.

		The texture of Wiley's voice was sometimes as delicate and fragile as morning mist, but it pulsed so with the life force - and often with her bemused humor - that you knew this was no lady who needed protection.
		I was involved with a provisional discography of Lee Wiley, and this appeared in the October 1957 issue of The Discophile.
		Lee’s secrets, of course, apart from the tantalizing promise in her phrasing, were immaculate diction, vocal purity and the way in which she shaped her vowels.

		It is true that Lee Wiley lived in the long gone era of the Tin Pan Alley songs, but like the voices of Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Jack Teagarden, hers is as real and present as ever.
		The "Lee Wiley magic" began to manifest itself when she sang with the Dorsey Brothers' band in 1933.
		I believe that Lee Wiley was the first and greatest of those whom we producers in the industry refer to as "a crazy girl jazz singer." I also call them "femmes fatales of jazz".

	Songbirds: Lee WIley
		The Wiley mystique was generated by both personal and professional circumstances, and further fed by some willful biographical manipulation by her musical associates, her record labels, and the artist herself.
		Nicknamed "Pocahontas" and characterized as regal by her friends, Wiley descended from the princess of a Cherokee tribe and from an English missionary who married an American parishioner...
		Wiley is less successful on several up-tempo songs, and on ditties such as her 1947 duet with Bing Crosby of Kern's I Still Suits Me, which requires a colloquial, lowbrow delivery at odds with her sophisticated sound.

		Wiley contended that serving beer or wine at the club had the potential of endangering the community.
		Lee’s attorney, Jean Moyer, countered by saying there were plenty of establishments in the area that served beer and wine and that there were no zoning rules against it.
		Lee’s reaction was to say he “knew it was going to go down,” but said he plans to try again.

		Lee, as energetic a marketer as he is a director, regularly releases companion books to his films, and fans of the upcoming epic about Malcolm X will welcome this book, which contains the film script as well as reflections by Lee and other participants in the film.
		Though Wiley (Why Black People Tend to Shout) collaborates with Lee, the book is loosely edited--the selections, reading like transcribed interviews, show how quotable Lee is: "This was the picture I was born to make," he declares, for example.
		Lee addresses issues ranging from Malcolm X's influence on him to his part in the controversy over Norman Jewison, who was originally to direct the film, to the evolution of the script, which was first written by James Baldwin.

		San Francisco's "famous Chinese sleuth," JAMES LEE WONG, appeared in at least a dozen stories, full of white slavery and opium dens in the late thirties in Collier's, which were later collected in Murder By the Dozen.
		In at least one story, the character is simply referred to as James Lee, and he is listed as such on the US Treasury Departmnent's payroll in the others, only utilizing the Wong surname when dealing with his family.
		Lee soon found himself thrown into a whirlpool of violence which was to culminate in the strange death of Fang Yut and the brutal kidnapoping of a white girl."

		Wiley was also one of the first to realize the importance of the great early 20th century songwriters, and was the FIRST to record sets of songs centered around single composers, in the now familiar "song book" format.
