Jackie Lee (Irish singer)

Jackie Lee (born Jacqueline Norah Flood, 29 May 1936) is an Irish popular music singer, who has recorded under various stage names.

Lee experienced similar success when she moved to London and joined the popular dance band The Squadronaires.

In 1962, she entered the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest as a solo act with "There's No-one in the Whole Wide World" and performed it at the British national finals for BBC TV.

She demonstrated her unique vocal range, ability and versatility on such diverse recordings as "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix; and much of the James Last catalogue at the time.

In 1968, as 'Jacky', she had a UK Top Ten hit single with "The White Horses",[1] the theme from a children's TV programme.

[5] This recording also had a place in the "Best TV themes of all time" list from The Penguin Television Companion at Number 7, thus consolidating Lee's reputation.

A tie-in album, Jackie's Junior Choice, was released on Pye Records (PKL 5503) in 1971,[6] followed by the similar, Rupert and Other Junior Favourites on Pye's budget Golden Guinea label (GSGL 10492) in 1973, which also included Jackie's recording of another children's series, Inigo Pipkin.
