She compiled an extensive body of work as a back-up singer on countless recording sessions in studios in Muscle Shoals, AL., Memphis and Nashville, with major artists (Some of which were the biggest names in the history of the music industry). A number of those singles and albums become Gold records. She also toured as a headliner and as a back-up singer in venues such as The Concert for Bangladesh in Madison Square Garden.

Mary Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Max Lee; her parents, Leland Carmon Johnson and Mary Lou Coke Johnson; one brother, infant Johnson; grandparents: James Albert Johnson, Cora Johnson and Richard Franklin Coke, Mary Elizabeth Coke.
