Legendary Lee Canady: Last To See Eddie Jefferson Alive? - Norman Whitfield Used Pigeons In Hit Song

Eddie Jefferson's last night on earth began at Lee's Monroe Music

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong of The Temptations loved Lee
Norman sought Lee's opinions, & Barrett was Lee's pal
Eddie inexplicably knew Lee's store & knew to seek Lee's help
Hours after Eddie exited Lee's, Eddie was a dead man——murdered!

WHERE WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT OF MONDAY, MAY 7th, 1979‽

We know now that on Tuesday, May 8, 1979, at about 1:35 A.M., a disgruntled dancer for "vocalese"-inventor, Eddie Jefferson (Eddie had recently fired the dancer from one of his shows), allegedly sped up in a late-model Lincoln Continental and rained lead on the poor, sixty-year-old Eddie Jefferson as he exited the club, Baker's Keyboard Lounge, where he had just sung a set in Detroit. Eddie's fellow bandleader, saxophonist, Richie Cole, who was walking out of the door next to Eddie was not shot. :—:— The date was Monday, May 7th, 1979, when Eddie strolled into Lee's record shop with an odd familiarity as if Eddie had been to Lee's Monroe Music plenty of times before, though Lee (a busy man himself) never remembered seeing Eddie prior to that Monday. Eddie told Lee that he had just come in from Chicago and was trying to find his way to his own group's Detroit gig that night. Lee told him how many city blocks to walk and which two buses to catch in order to arrive at the concert. Eddie was thankful for the guidance, and Lee was welcomed to attend. Lee wanted to see Eddie Jefferson sing that night, but Lee thought better of seeing Eddie that night, and only hours hence, Eddie would be dead from gunshot wounds.
