Richard Tee

Richard Tee (24 de noviembre de 1943 - 21 de julio de 1993) fue teclista, cantante y músico de sesión estadounidense. 

Tras trabajar como el pianista de la casa discográfica Motown, Tee pronto se convirtió en miembro del grupo de músicos de sesión especialmente activos en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 en Nueva York. Fue asimismo miembro fundador del grupo Stuff, y miembro, con otros integrantes de esa banda, del Gadd Gang, liderada por Steve Gadd.

Grabó y tocó con muchos de los grandes nombres del jazz y del soul estadounidense, como Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Grover Washington, Jr., George Benson, Stanley Turrentine, Roberta Flack, y Diana Ross, además de artistas de otros géneros, como Patti Austin, George Harrison, Paul Simon y Peter Gabriel.
