Their original act was called Lennie Peters and Melody until their management International Artists suggested the name: Peters and Lee. Their first performance was with Rolf Harris on 30 April 1970 at a concert in Bournemouth.
Early success
They entered the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks, which they won for a then record of seven times with such songs as "All Change Places", "I'm Confessin'", "Let It Be Me" and "All I Ever Need is You". Following their TV success, a record contract was soon signed with Philips Records. 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 which suited them well and their recording quickly led to a number one hit, "Welcome Home" - which sold over 800,000 copies in Britain. A successful first album, "We Can Make It", followed which also reached the number one position, selling over 250,000 copies. Further single hits followed with "Don't Stay Away Too Long" and "Hey Mr Music Man".
TV appearances
The duo was top of the bill at the Royal Variety Performance in 1973.[1] They were also resident guest stars on The Des O'Connor Show,[2] had slots on Golden Shot, Mike and Bernie Winters' Show, Presenting Nana Mouskouri, Seaside Special and David Nixon's show.
Peters and Lee had a popular TV series of their own Meet Peters & Lee,[3] including several Christmas specials made by ATV. "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.
Their last TV appearance before their split was London Night Out in November 1980, in which they performed four songs from their farewell album.
Solo and reunion
Lee went on to perform mainly in theatre and acting roles, whilst Peters pursued a solo singing career. He recorded his only solo album Unforgettable in 1981 and released three singles, "Record of My Love" in 1981, "Why Me" for Christmas 1982 and "Key Largo" in 1985. Peters also appeared on a few small TV slots and appeared briefly as a crime boss in the 1984 film The Hit, but without a huge success. Despite their fame, neither Peters nor Lee could repeat the success they enjoyed whilst together.
The pair reunited in 1986 with a new single, "Familiar Feelings", to perform on the nostalgia circuit. They also made some TV appearances, performing their new single. The duo went on to record two new albums, one in 1989 and the last in 1992 for their 21st anniversary, before Peters' death from bone cancer in 1992 at age 60. Their final TV appearance was Pebble Mill in February 1992 with a short interview and a performance of the hit "Hey Mister Music Man". Sporting a broken arm, Peters' illness was apparent. Lee went on to marry Rick Price of Wizzard and recorded a solo album Chemistry in 1994. She continues to tour with Price as a duo, performing hits and new material.[4]

나 어디로 가나?
헤매던 나날
또 길을 잃어
툭 떨군 눈물 그대만 알아요
나는 그대 앞에서만 약해지는 걸요
나 여기 있어요
Stand by your side
언제라도 umm-mm
짙은 어둠 속을 걸을 때도
그댄 나의 빛이 되어줘요, 더요
비틀 쓰러질 듯 흔들려도
그댄 나의 손을 잡아줘요, 더요
Hah, hah-ah, hah-ah
Hah (hah), hah-ah-ah, ah
심장이 뛰어 사는 게 아니죠
그대가 있어 사는 거예요 umm
늘 내 두 눈은 그대만 보아요
나는 그대 앞에서만 사랑하는 걸요
Stand by your side
나 여기 있어요
Stand by your side
언제라도 oh
짙은 어둠 속을 걸을 때도
그댄 나의 빛이 되어줘요, 더요
비틀 쓰러질 듯 흔들려도
그댄 나의 손을 잡아줘요, 더요
Starlight

My starlight
들리나요? Umm

Cały kawałek jest magiczny. Jak ktoś uważa że tylko początek jest zajebisty to się nie zna na klasykach.
@Punisher45100
Jak można zmarnować potencjał tak zajebistej piosenki? I powtórzę to co reszta: piosenka po 20 sekundach traci ten wspaniały klimat.
