This lovely single was recorded for the Crimson subsidiary of Lost Nite in 1964, with a new group of "Hearts" that included Richard Booker, Richard Mason (co-writer of this song, apparently), Robert Howard and Victoria McCalister. "Cold Gray Dawn"/"All You Can Do" were re-released on Lost-Nite in August 1965 and, according to the label, distributed by Atlantic. Sometime around 1965, Lee opened a dress shop in Philadelphia. He kept it going until around 1970, but it didn't affect his singing career too much. Thanks for posting this rarity for us all to enjoy, Soulhawk!
