Editing Peters and Lee (section)

==Background==
Lennie Peters was blinded in one eye during a car accident when he was five years old. A thrown brick blinded his other eye when he was sixteen. Before Peters and Lee, he was a pianist playing the London pub scene. He recorded two singles on the [[Oriole Records (UK)|Oriole]] label, "Let the Tears Begin" and "And My Heart Cried" in 1963 and 1964 respectively. In 1966, he recorded "Stranger in Paradise" for [[Pye Records]] and then "Here We Go Again" on the Gemini label in 1970. The latter he would revisit as Peters and Lee in 1976. He teamed up with actress and dancer Dianne Lee (born Dianne Littlehales, February 1949, [[Sheffield]], [[West Riding of Yorkshire]], England) in 1970. Lee would provide backing vocals for Peters' solo act. She was also at the time part of a dance act with her cousin Liz.

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]].
