See the day - Dee C. Lee

Dee C. Lee was born as Diane Catherine Sealey in Balham, South London on June 6, 1961. She was a backing vocalist for Wham! in the early Eighties, but left the group when she joined Paul Weller's new band the Style Council. At the same time, she launched a solo career. She later married Weller (although they have already divorced again by now), and they have two children, Nathaniel and Leah.

The self-penned ballad 'See the day' was released in 1985 and peaked at number 3 in the UK singles chart, the first and biggest hit of her solo career. The song was covered in 2005 by Girls Aloud.

My collection: 7" single no. 381
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1985
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'See the day' / 'The Paris match'

  1. SEE THE DAY stays in my mind like forever ever since I heard it on the BBC UK Top 20. I am glad that Girls Aloud covered it years later. The debut album by Dee C Lee was rather ok, and I like COME HELL OR WATERS HIGHT too. Played these two songs so many time. ~ chwee (Singapore)
