Harold Lee

Hamilton, late 1950s

Harold Lee Rekart, using his first and middle names as his performing names, recorded a very good rocker for the Esta label in 1959.

His family was from Ohio but as a teenager he was living in Elmhurst, Illinois. After high school he moved to Hamilton and performed locally and recorded his first 45.

In the late 1960s he was living in the Nashville area and was involved with the country music scene. He recorded a couple 45s for Columbia that were not successful. He made some additonal recordings for Nashville based country labels in the early 1970s.  In 1974 he was credited as engineer on the "If You Loved Her That Way" LP by O. B. McClinton

He passed away in 2002.
