The song reached number one in more than 30 countries and became one of the best-selling Eurovision singles in the contest’s history.
Lee co-wrote many of the group’s songs including Angelo and Figaro, which also both reached number one in the UK.
Documents show he left £156,831 in his will, reduced to £141,192 after deductions.
And it all went to his wife Sandra, 80, who he was married to for 45 years as reported by Need To Know.
Soon after she joined Brotherhood of Man in late 1973, they began a relationship and the couple was living together by the time of the Eurovision win in 1976.
They married in August 1979.
The couple from Cobham, Surrey, were still performing together in Brotherhood of Man until retirement in 2020.
At the time of Lee’s death, a band spokesperson said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our great friend and colleague Brotherhood of Man’s Martin Lee.
“Who slipped peacefully away on the evening of Sunday, 29 September 2024 from heart failure after a short illness.
“Martin was 77.
“Martin sang lead vocals on the 1976 Eurovision Winner ‘Save Your Kisses for Me’ which was Number 1 in 31 countries.
“And the Guinness book biggest selling Eurovision single of all time plus the biggest winner by percentage of votes.
“He was not only a wonderful singer, but also co-wrote with bandmate, Lee Sheriden most of the Brotherhood of Man hits including the three number one records.
“Other awards include 26 Platinum, Gold & Silver Discs, 3 Ivor Novello awards and an ASCAP Shield for writing a top 10 hit in the United States.
“He will be sadly missed by his fellow band members Nicky Stevens, Lee Sheriden and especially Sandra Stevens to whom he had been married for 45 happy years.
“Over the past 50 years, the four of us have toured the world together in harmony and have so many happy memories but now we are in total shock and cannot imagine a world without Martin Lee.
“RIP.”
Lee was born Martin Barnes, on November 26, 1946, in Purley, London but had spent five years of his youth living in Australia.
