Biography
Wiley was born in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. While still in her early teens, she left home to pursue a singing career with the Leo Reisman band. Her career was temporarily interrupted by a fall while horseback riding. Wiley suffered temporary blindness, but recovered, and at the age of 19 was back with Reisman again, with whom she recorded three songs: "Take It From Me," "Time On My Hands," and her own composition, "Got The South In My Soul." She sang with Paul Whiteman and later, the Casa Loma Orchestra. A collaboration with composer Victor Young resulted in several songs for which Wiley wrote the lyrics, including "Got The South in My Soul" and "Anytime, Anyday, Anywhere," the latter an R&B hit in the 1950s.
During the early 1930s, Wiley recorded very little, and many sides were rejected:

You've Got Me Crying Again
by: Lee WileyYou’ve got me crying again
You’ve got me sighing again
What is this love all about?
I’m in, I’m out
Your kisses right from the start
Came from your lips, not your heart
You make me happy and then
Somebody new looks good to you
You’ve got me crying again
