CP Lee, was a British musician, author, broadcaster and lecturer from Manchester, England.

Gerry and the Holograms” (1979)

He was co-author of the witty composition “Gerry and the Holograms” (1979) which shows similarities with “Blue Monday” (1983) but then without the nagging tone which makes the latter nearly impossible to listen to in full.
