After charting her last single in 1994, she began working as a songwriter for other artists.
She later recorded demos for publishing companies, and by 1982, she made her debut on the U.S.
[2] She charted several more singles throughout the 1980s, but only scraped into the country top 40 once during the decade, with 1986's "I'll Take Your Love Anytime" (which peaked at #37).
In 1990, her cover of Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet" peaked at #12 on the country charts, but follow-up singles were not successful, and Lee's career as a recording artist had come to a close by 1994.
Lee has since signed as a songwriter to Chrysalis Music, and has written album cuts for LeAnn Rimes and Jo Dee Messina,[2] as well as single for Lila McCann ("With You"), Tracy Lawrence ("Lonely"), The Clark Family Experience ("Standin' Still"), Katrina Elam ("No End in Sight"), Roxie Dean ("Everyday Girl"), Crystal Shawanda ("My Roots Are Showing"), and Reba McEntire ("While You Were Sleeping").
