Leslie Stuart (15 March 1863 – 27 March 1928) was an English composer of early musical theatre, best known for the hit show 'Florodora' (1899) and many popular songs. Stuart began writing songs in the late 1870s, including songs for blackface performers, such as "Lily of Laguna"; songs for musical theatre, and ballads such as "Soldiers of the King". A song from 'Florodora', "Tell me, pretty maiden", became a vaudeville standard. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Leslie+Stuart">Read more on Last

Quotes

  • She's ma lady love, she is ma dove, ma baby love,She's no gal for sittin' down to dream,She's de only queen Laguna knows;I know she likes me, I know she likes meBekase she says so; She is de Lily of Laguna,she is ma Lily and ma Rose.
  • It's the soldiers of the King, my ladsWho've been, my lads, who've seen, my ladsIn the fight for England's glory ladsWhen we've had to show them what we mean.
