Peters and Lee were a successful British folk and pop duo of the 1970s and 1980s, comprising Lennie Peters (born Leonard George Sargent, 22 November 1931 – 10 October 1992, Enfield, Middlesex) and Dianne Lee (born Dianne Littlehales, February 1949).
Their original act was called 'Lennie Peters and Melody' until their management International Artists suggested the name 'Peters and Lee'.
They were produced by Philips' A&R man Johnny Franz, and their management company was International Artists, run by showbiz professionals Phyllis Rounce and Laurie Mansfield.
Franz found the song that suited them well, and their recording quickly led to a number one hit; "Welcome Home" sold over 800,000 copies in Britain.
"The Peters and Lee Story" was one Christmas special made for 27 December 1975 which starred Mike and Bernie Winters, Cleo Laine and Aiden J Harvey, who won New Faces in 1974.
Their success made them household names and frequent appearances on Top of the Pops also kept their record sales steady.
After the "Smile" album and the 3 singles it spawned did not chart, Lennie and Di chose to split but still had many contracts to fulfill.
Their final television appearance was Pebble Mill in February 1992 with a short interview and a performance of the hit "Hey Mister Music Man".
