Lee & The Laydeez
It's a lovely summer day, so as a good a time as any to indulge the IMS fascination with Lee Hazelwood. First, a cover of the Lee Hazelwood & Ann Margaret song "You Turned My Head Around" by Dean & Britta:
"You Turned My Head Around"---Dean & Britta

"Love Is Strange"---Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood
Labels: dean and britta, lee hazelwood, mp3, nancy sinatra
