Shirley Ann Lee is super groovy.

This is cool-ass Detroit gospel soul straight from the late '60s to you. "There's A Light" is the lead-off track on the Numero label's compilation album, Local Customs: Downriver Revival.

Shirley Ann Lee comes from Toldeo, Ohio where, according to a Numero post, "she started singing in the church at a young age." In 1967 she hooked up with Revival Records owner/producer Felton Williams, who made many recordings with her.

Four of them appear on Local Customs: Downriver Revival.

Here's Numero's official info about the album:

Between 1967 and 1981 Detroit's downriver neighbor Ecorse, MI had its very own Moe Asch. Set up in a basement on 18th Avenue, Felton Williams chronicled the musical lives of Ecorse's citizens and issued them on the Solid Rock, Cass, Compose, and Revival labels. We've compiled 24 of Williams' most fascinating recordings, covering gospel, group soul, garage-punk, northern, jazz, and funk.

Also included is a DVD with over 200 sound recordings pulled from his archives and compiled into a digital tape vault. This allows you to dig deep into the endless hours of jam sessions, demos, sermons, rehearsals, and studio outtakes. demos, sermons, rehearsals, and studio outtakes.

The DVD also has an engaging 30 minute documentary on the making of Downriver Revival and gives you further insight into Felton and the artists he recorded at Double-U-Sound.
