Following her departure from Wham!, Lee released her first solo single, "Selina Wow Wow", in 1983. Despite considerable airplay, the single failed to reach the top 40. In 1984, she then worked with The Style Council and appeared on their debut album Café Bleu (released as My Ever Changing Moods in North America). Lee can be heard on the tracks "Headstart for Happiness," "It Didn't Matter," "The Lodgers," "Walls Come Tumbling Down," and "Shout to the Top." Lee continued to record solo material during this time, but singles "Yippee Yi Yay!" and "Don't Do It Baby" failed to chart.
In 1985, after the release of the second Style Council album Our Favourite Shop (which reached no.1) and a stint working with the band Animal Nightlife, Lee released another solo single; the self-penned ballad "See the Day". The single became a UK hit and peaked at no.2 in December 1985, selling a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone, and earning Lee a silver disc. Twenty years later, the song was covered by Girls Aloud, their version peaking at no.9 on the UK Singles Chart in December 2005.
Lee's follow-up singles, a cover of Judie Tzuke's "Come Hell Or Waters High" and "Hold On" failed to make the UK Top 40. All tracks were featured on her 1986 album, Shrine.
Throughout the rest of the 1980s, Lee continued to work with The Style Council on their albums The Cost of Loving (1987) and Confessions of a Pop Group (1988). She also worked with the band on their 1989 recording Modernism: A New Decade, but this album was rejected by the band's label, Polydor, and did not see a release until almost ten years later, when it was included in the boxed set, The Complete Adventures of The Style Council.
Between 1989 and 1991, Lee teamed up with Robert Howard of The Blow Monkeys to form Slam Slam. They achieved a number of minor UK club hits including "Move (Dance All Night)" and "Free Your Feelings", the latter produced by Young Disciples. In 1993, Lee later collaborated with Gang Starr frontman Guru (rapper) née Keith Alam, on a single from his solo project Jazzmatazz called "No Time to Play" on which also featured Ronny Jordan. Later in the 1990s, Lee released two further solo albums; Things Will Be Sweeter (1994) and Smiles (1998).
In 2006, Lee had a small part as a pop star in the comedy film Rabbit Fever. In September 2007, Lee performed her hit "See The Day" on ITV1's Loose Women show. In September 2007, she also performed at a charity event in aid of domestic violence a cause close to her heart.
Lee also played the part of Preaching Nut-Nut in a 2008 short film, The Town that Boars Me. It tells the tale of a Pig Boy created by the lonely town butcher. The Pig Boy, now banished from the town, returns at nightfall to torment the local women and satisfy his insatiable fetish for high-heeled shoes. It also starred Kelly Osbourne, Sadie Frost, Lee's son Natt Weller, Zandra Rhodes and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The film was released in London on 28 August 2008.
On 31 May 2009, Lee joined ex-Level 42 musicians, Mike Lindup and Phil Gould, to play a comeback gig with a collective called 'Favoured Nations'. The gig took place at Ginglik, Shepherd's Bush, London. On 11 October 2009, she played a gig at Dingwalls in Camden Town.

See the Day
Dee C. Lee Lyrics
When you look at me
Tell me what you see
Do you see no love at all?
Or do you see in me what you always see
In every girl that you fall for?
I will show you how love is meant to be
Just watch and learn and listen to me
Will you ever see the day
Heartache leads astray?
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever learn to love without a little doubt?
Good love will always come from me
When you look away
Is it mean to say
That she haunts you night and day?
And does it hurt your heart when I say
Let's start to heal the part that's been torn?
Don't you see that I
I'm really worth a try
And I say to you I know just what to do
Will you ever see the day
Heartache leads astray?
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever learn to love without a little doubt?
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever see the day
(Heartache) heartache leads astray?
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever learn to love without a little doubt?
Good love will always come from me, yeah, yeah
Will you ever see the day, heartache leads astray?
Good love will always come from me
Ever learn to love without a little doubt?

I’ve not listened to this in decades yet I can sing every word. I had such a crush on her. Used to love her singing with the Style Council. She will always have a special place in my heart.

One of the best songs around.
Timeless.
