Peters & Lee - Don’t Stay Away Too Long (1974) • TopPop

Peters and Lee were a successful British folk and pop duo of the 1970s and 1980s, comprising Lennie Peters (22 November 1931 – 10 October 1992, Enfield, Middlesex) and Dianne Lee (born February 1949). Lennie Peters (AKA Gary Hall; born Leonard George Sargent, 22 November 1931, Islington, North London), an uncle of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, was blinded in one eye during a car accident when he was five years old. A thrown brick blinded his other eye when he was sixteen. Before Peters and Lee, he was a pianist playing the London pub scene. He recorded two singles on the Oriole label, “Let the Tears Begin“ and “And My Heart Cried“ in 1963 and 1964 respectively. In 1966 he recorded “Stranger in Paradise“ for Pye Records and then “Here We Go Again“ on the Gemini label in 1970. The latter he would revisit as Peters and Lee in 1976. He teamed up with actress and dancer Dianne Lee (born Dianne Littlehales, February 1949, Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England) in 1970. Lee would provide backing vocals for Peters’ solo act. She was also at the time part of a dance act with her cousin Liz. Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
