"Little Arrows", released in the UK by MCA Records, became a hit, reaching No. 2 in the charts. In the US, the record reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 11 on the country chart. The record made No. 1 on the Canadian country music chart. It sold over three million copies worldwide, and was awarded a gold disc. Although he never reached the US pop charts again, Lee had two more country hits there with "Good Morning" in 1970 and "Every Road Leads Back To You" in 1975.

In July 1970 Lee was arrested in a pub brawl in which the relief manager, was accidentally injured by a knife that Alan Lake carried. Leapy was sentenced to three years in prison alongside his friend Alan Lake who received eighteen months for his role in the brawl.

He later lived in Saudi Arabia, before opening a bar in Majorca, Spain with Andrew Ray, the son of English comedian Ted Ray.

Between 1999 and 2001, Lee and his family (notably the twins in later editions), featured prominently in the BBC television series Passport to the Sun, fronted firstly by Liza Tarbuck then by Nadia Sawalha. Lee is a regular columnist with the Euro Weekly News, an English language newspaper based in the Costa del Sol in Spain.

Lee released a 40th anniversary EP, Little Arrows II, on 1 March 2010. In 2014 he appeared on the Channel 5 television show, OAPs Behaving Badly.
