Lee Magid (April 6, 1926 March 31, 2007) was a Rhythm and blues producer and manager who worked with artists such as Clara Ward, Al Hibbler, and Della Reese. According to Steve Kurutz of "Allmusic," old time record hustler Lee Magid held a position in nearly every facet of the industry at one time or another. As a producer he recorded some of the best gospel acts in the business. Joining the staff of National Records at 19, though young, Magid had previously been a song plugger for a singer named Ralph Young who recorded under the moniker Rudy York. At National Magid's enthusiasm and tenacity (he was one of a select handful who could break black acts on white radio) caught the eye of label owner Al Green.
