Jack Lee (Born March 25, 1952) is an American songwriter and musician best known for composing the song, "Hanging on the Telephone," which was covered by the New Wave band Blondie.
John William Lee (1 February 1902 – 20 June 1944), generally known as Jack Lee, was an English cricketer who played for Somerset from 1925 to 1936, having played one match for Middlesex in 1923. He was an all-rounder, scoring six centuries and taking ten wickets in a match on two occasions by the end of his career. He was killed on active service with the British Army during the Second World War.
Cricket career
Early career
Lee was a Londoner and played one match in 1923 for Middlesex, where his brother, Harry, 12 years his senior, was an opening batsman and off-break bowler from 1911 to 1934. The Middlesex match was against Somerset at Taunton, and Lee failed to take a wicket with his leg-breaks and, batting at number ten, was run out without scoring. Unable to win a place in the Middlesex side, he moved to Somerset from the 1925 season, starting his career with his new county in almost identical circumstances, with just one wicket for his bowling and two scoreless innings in the match against Cambridge University at Bath. That was his only first-class match in his first two seasons at Somerset: without a residential or birth qualification, he was forced to wait for two years before he could appear in County Championship matches. While waiting, he played club cricket for the Lansdown Cricket Club in Bath. Two years after Jack Lee moved from Middlesex to Somerset, his younger brother Frank, who had made two appearances for Middlesex, made the same move: he also played for Lansdown and his qualification for Somerset proceeded two years behind Jack's.

Jack Lee - Hanging On The Telephone (1982 single)
7" single Hanging On The Telephone / Women (Disclexia) 1982
written & produced by Jack Lee
Hanging On The Telephone was first recorded by Jack Lee's band The Nerves (with Paul Collins and Peter Case). The Nerves released only one EP (1976) and this was one of the four songs on it. This became a huge hit, when Blondie recorded their cover version in 1978. And here's Jack Lee's solo version of this classic pop song ... of course a good one as you would expect :)
