Lee Shelton (March 16, 1865 – March 11, 1912), popularly known as "Stagolee," "Stagger Lee," "Stack-O-Lee," and other variations, was an American criminal who became a figure of folklore after murdering Billy Lyons on Christmas 1895. The murder, reportedly to be motivated partially by the theft of Shelton's Stetson hat, made Shelton an icon of toughness and style in the minds of early folk and blues musicians, and inspired the popular folk song "Stagger Lee." The story endures in the many versions of the song that have circulated since the late 19th century.

dbo:abstract
  • Stagger Lee, eigentlich Lee Shelton (* 16. März 1865; † 11. März 1912, auch Stagolee, Stackerlee, Stack O’Lee oder Stack-a-Lee) war ein schwarzer Kutscher und Zuhälter in St. Louis, der seinen Freund William „Billy“ Lyons am Heiligen Abend 1895 tötete. Shelton wurde gefasst, des Mordes angeklagt und zu einer Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt. Durch den Mord, der in einem Blues aufgearbeitet und in etlichen unterschiedlichen Versionen und inhaltlichen Varianten von einer Reihe von Künstlern interpretiert wurde, wurde Stagger Lee weltbekannt. Er symbolisiert bis heute das Stereotyp des kaltherzigen schwarzen Mörders. Der Spitzname „Stagger“ bedeutet Torkeln. (de)
