GUEST,R.D. Eno Obit: Bill Lee, bassist (1928-2023) (8) Bill Lee, bassist 19 Feb 14


It's my recollection that bassist Bill Lee (in addition to backing many folk artists) appeared with the Weavers at their 1955 reunion, at their Carnegie Hall concert in 1960 and at both the 1963 Carnegie Hall reunions. His propulsive bass lines gave the group much of its onstage drive, but I don't think he was ever credited. Can anyone explain this neglect? It seems uncharacteristic of the Weavers, certainly of Pete Seeger, who went out of his way to see that Solomon Linda's family received the royalties from Wimoweh.
