Jackie Lee was a popular Irish singer and a musical child prodigy.

She won a scholarship and trained as a soprano for four years. Upon finishing her studies she became a vocalist with the top showbands playing Irish venues.

She moved to London and in 1955 her first solo record was released, followed by a further two the next year. From 1959 to 1964, Lee was a member of The Raindrops, a successful quartet who made countless appearances on British TV. In 1962, she entered the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest as a solo act with “There’s No-one in the Whole Wide World”.
