Lee Jun-fai (Chinese: 李振輝; Jyutping: Lei5 Zan3 Fai1; born 16 December 1948), known professionally as Robert Lee, is a Hong Kong musician and younger brother of martial artist Bruce Lee.
Lee's father, Lee Hoi-chuen (李海泉), a leading Cantonese opera and film actor of the 1940s was all Chinese, and his mother, Grace Ho (何愛瑜) was half Chinese and half Caucasian. Specifically, Grace Ho was purportedly a half-German Catholic. He is also the father of Clarence Lee (李嘉豪).
Lee is the founder of a popular Hong Kong beat band called The Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds were a beat group similar to and on the same Hong Kong/Macau musical scene as Danny Diaz & The Checkmates, Zoundcrakers, Anders Nelson & The Inspiration, D'Topnotes and Teddy Robin & The Playboys. He founded the group in 1966 and quickly became famous in Hong Kong. A few singles mostly or all were sung in English. Also released was Lee singing a duet with Irene Ryder.
He later moved to Los Angeles in the United States and stayed with his older brother Bruce. After Bruce Lee's death he released an album dedicated to him called The Ballad of Bruce Lee. A single of the same title was also released. He is the producer of the film Bruce Lee, My Brother.
