Peters and Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peters and Lee were a successful British folk/pop duo of the 1970s, comprising Lennie Peters (1939 - 10 October 1992) and Dianne Lee (born 1950). Lennie Peters, who was blinded in an accident when aged 16, was a pianist playing in London pubs when he teamed up with actress and dancer Dianne Lee in 1970. They entered the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks which they won easily. A record contract was signed and quickly followed by the number one hit Welcome Home. They had five hits in the seventies, before disbanding in 1980. They subsequently reunited to perform on the nostalgia circuit, before Lennie Peters died from bone cancer in 1992 aged 53.
Their five UK chart hits were:
- Welcome Home -May 1973 # 1
- By Your Side -November 1973 #39
- Don't Stay Away Too Long April 1974 # 3
- Rainbow August 1974 #17
- Hey Mr. Music Man March 1976 #16
