Lee Mallory (1945 - 2005) was born in Berkeley, California. He lit out for Disneyland at age 10 in his Davy Crockett regalia, making his way alone to Oakland Airport via public transportation, stopped only by airport security.

Lee's 1966 single, "That's The Way It's Gonna Be" reached #1 in Amsterdam and #2 in Seattle. It was recently re-released on Rhino Records compilation, "Hallucinations". "Take My Hand", his second single is included in Rhino's compilation, "Come To The Sunshine." Music was Lee's life.

Millennium, consisting of Mallory, Boetcher, Joey Stec, Mike Fennelly and Sandy Salisbury, enjoyed an international revival at, you guessed it, the millennium. Much of their music has been re-released on Sonic Past Music: http://www.sonicpastmusic.com - enjoy!
