In 1983, Lee recorded his second single "Love So Deep" for Radar Records.

The track is also known for its dub techniques, a post-disco phenomenon that preceded emerging house music. In 1987, Mr. Lee was signed to Jump Street Records. The two singles that emerged were "My Baby Loves Me" and "Sensual Surrender." He also recorded for Critique Records out of Boston, Massachusetts where his album "Teaser" was successful.
