“I went from playing guitar for various artists like Marvin Gaye, Natalie Cole, D.J. Rogers and numerous others, to scoring my own record deal, then being handed a life sentence for a drug related offense.

I spent 18 years behind bars, going from one federal prison to the next. Some were more violent than others, but because of the length of my sentence, I had to be free of any major offenses in order to finally be allowed to go into a medium security facility. It took ten years to achieve that goal, and let me tell you, it was not an easy thing to do. And then, by the Glory of God, I was released by President Barack Obama just before his term was up. I was one of the 5%, among over 35,000 people with similar offenses, who were granted a commutation of sentence—sort of like a pardon, but with other stipulations and probation conditions in place. 1,700 of us got the nod from the president to be released.

God saved me from my own prison, touched Obama’s heart and landed me in Pensacola, Florida, where I became Minister of Music. I played piano, which at the time of my release l could not do well, but I developed a great ability to achieve a wondrous aptitude. The main reason for this gift was the change in my heart, mind and body. Let me be totally honest here; the whole time I spent in California on probation for drug sales and related offenses, I never stayed out more than a few months. Some of you will probably think, “oh here we go…” but after letting go, and letting God, I have been out since 2017. But, this story is still being written…”

“An elusive Modern Soul gem, originally recorded in Los Angeles circa 1984. Dreamlike and intimate, this record drifts on lush, soulful orchestration, led by a mysterious female vocalist whose radiant voice and message-driven lyrics speak of inner strength and resilience.

Originally released through an independent Japanese radio station nestled in the heart of Little Tokyo L.A., this record was the sole output credited to the enigmatic band, known only as O-RYLEY. Pressed in a small batch and quietly circulated, the record seemingly slipped through the cracks of history, resurfacing only occasionally among deep dig collectors.”

O-RYLEY / TSC-003
“(No More) Sobie Dobie Girl”

*NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-SALE*

Special Edition Limited 7” 45 RPM
Pressed on Translucent Cherry Red

An elusive Modern Soul gem, originally recorded in Los Angeles circa 1984. Dreamlike and intimate, this record drifts on lush, soulful orchestration, led by a mysterious female vocalist whose radiant voice and message-driven lyrics speak of inner strength and resilience.

Originally released through an independent Japanese radio station nestled in the heart of Little Tokyo L.A., this record was the sole output credited to the enigmatic band, known only as O-RYLEY. Pressed in a small batch and quietly circulated, the record seemingly slipped through the cracks of history, resurfacing only occasionally among deep dig collectors.

Decades later the story unfolds, and has now revealed the truth behind the mysterious band. Research has found that the amazing voice, of the once anonymous soul singer, is none other than legendary performing artist Kellee Patterson- most celebrated for her extraordinary work on the Black Jazz and Shadybrook record labels. Bound by pending label negotiations at the time, Kellee Patterson’s involvement was obscured, leaving the record shrouded in mystery until now.

Forty odd years after the original release, we also learn that the project was organized in part by Alphonso Hamilton, the man responsible for promotions at the radio station. Hamilton, along with record executive Nagao Masuda, pulled in top session players, and called upon Kellee Patterson’s golden voice to help give birth to this unique and often overlooked masterpiece.
Fast-forward to 2026… Newly restored and remastered, this lost Modern Soul classic is finally given its proper due. This time issued on a very limited 7” 45RPM record courtesy of The Sound Council, O-RYLEY stands as a testament to the hidden brilliance and quiet endurance of a true sleeping beauty.

Thank you for taking time to rediscover this powerful work by Kellee Patterson. We hope that you too will be moved by the spirit of O-RYLEY’s music, as deeply as we have.
