FUTURE RELEASES (SUTTON/DEE)
Musician. Songwriter. Producer.
It's the music that matters
Now in his 77th year, there's not much that Graham Dee doesn't know about the music industry. Nicknamed Mr Tin Pan Alley in the '60s and '70s, he played a pivotal role making the music happen.
Songwriter, musician, producer and A&R man, he was a recording artist for Pye, staff songwriter for United Artists and ATV Music, produced records for Polydor/Atlantic, recorded music at the legendary Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama, and worked and toured with many great artists and bands including The Animals, Van Morrison and The Drifters.
Inspiration from isolation
Today, Graham is as passionate about music as ever, and is collaborating from Coronavirus isolation to bring out a series of songs for the 'new normal' we will find as we emerge from lockdown.
The first of these is VACCINE (For the World), a groove-driven pop plea to the people of the world to come together and save the planet for the good of us all… and our children to come.
Other recent releases
Respected indie label, Acid Jazz has included a beautiful 1979 recording of Graham’s song Sampaguita on its special collector’s album, AJX500 (read more). This limited edition vinyl, released on 29 November 2019, celebrates the label’s 500th release and showcases its present and future plans.
​
The focus on Graham’s music continues in 2020. On 31 January, Acid Jazz released Carnaby Street Soul West Coast Vibes on vinyl and CD, bringing together tracks from across Graham’s musical career, including Sampaguita.
