Lee was born on 16 December 1948 in Hong Kong as the youngest son of Grace Ho (何愛瑜) and Lee Hoi-chuen (李海泉), a leading Chinese Cantonese opera and film actor of the 1940s.
Lee was the founder of a Hong Kong beat band called The Thunderbirds, a beat group in the same Hong Kong/Macau musical scene as Danny Diaz & The Checkmates, Zoundcrakers, Anders Nelson & The Inspiration, D'Topnotes and Teddy Robin & The Playboys.[1] He founded the group in 1966 and quickly became famous in Hong Kong.[2][3][4] A few singles were sung mostly or all in English. Also released was Lee singing a duet with Irene Ryder.[5]
He later moved to Los Angeles in the United States and stayed with his older brother Bruce Lee. After Bruce's death, Robert released an album dedicated to him called The Ballad of Bruce Lee. A single of the same title was also released.[6]
On 27 November 2005, Robert unveiled a Bruce Lee statue in Hong Kong, celebrating what would have been Bruce's 65th birthday. He is the producer of the 2010 film Bruce Lee, My Brother.
Lee is the younger brother of Phoebe Lee, Agnes Lee, Peter Lee, and Bruce Lee. He is the uncle of Shannon Lee and Brandon Lee.
In 1977, Lee married Hong Kong singer and actress Sylvia Lai (黎小斌), who performed under the stage name of Sum Sum (森森). They had a son named Clarence Lee Ka-Ho (李嘉豪) in 1980, and divorced in 1983.
