Born blind in Mississippi, Lee Garrett developed a friendship with Stevie Wonder. Stevie's and Lee's joint songwriting projects extended to artists including Jermaine Jackson, Spinners, and Stevie Wonder's own "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
As a solo artist, Lee signed to Chrysalis in the mid-70's where his one album "Heat For The Feats" (1976) included "You're My Everything" (UK Top 20).
There then became a difference of opinion between Stevie and Lee over the writing credits to Stevie's hit "I Just Called To Say I Love You." with Lee claiming to have written the tune many years previously.
They have not been in contact since that time.
