Scooter Lee is a well-known singer/songwriter from Mandeville who got her start way back in the late 1960's.
Here are a few newspaper clippings from the 1970's.
According to her website, "From the age of 3, she was on the coffee tables singing at the top of her lungs and on key too. Her career started at age 14, when she was signed to Allen Toussaint‘s label in New Orleans recording with Irma Thomas, Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino. She was soon labeled "the little lady with the big voice"; recording country blues for the label. Scooter Lee has made her living from music the past 30+ years and shows no signs of stopping."
"In the late 1970's she toured with majors like Linda Ronstadt, Kris Kristofferson, Tammy Wynette, John & June Carter Cash and many more. Then came the 80’s with her 5 piece band sponsored by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company, working 10 months a year every major state fair and other festivals along the way.
"For years, she did two or three shows a day, and even added the Bob Hope USO Tours to her resume and gained experience on stages in countries she’d only dreamed about."
She has even launched a senior exercise program that uses line dancing as exercise for the older set. It's called "Dancing for the Dream."
