Career
Having moved to live in Italy in the late 1980s, Gordon released a few Eurobeat solo singles under the Italian label A-Beat-C. under the names Annerley Gordon and Annalise.[3] Gordon is credited with contributing to the composition of "The Rhythm of the Night", released in Italy in December 1993 on the DWA record label, by Eurodance project Corona.
Gordon's first solo single under the name Ann Lee was "2 Times", originally released in 1998. It was re-released in early 1999 and became a top-10 hit in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Norway, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. It also hit no. 2 in her native United Kingdom,[4] and reached no. 1 in Flanders and Denmark. In Canada it reached no. 14 on the singles chart.[5] "2 Times" was featured in the 2001 film Head Over Heels as the movie's theme song.
Lee's second solo single was "Voices", released in 1999: it fared considerably less well, although it was a Top 10 hit in the Czech Republic, Denmark and Spain, and Top 30 in the United Kingdom.[4]
2007 saw the return of Lee with the album So Alive, which included the single "Catches Your Love". In 2009, she released another single, "2 People", under the Off Limits label.[6] In December of that year, Lee provided the vocals for Favretto's single "I Get The Feeling", also released by Off Limits.
Personal life
Lee bought a house in Italy in 2005, and had a son born the same year.[7]
