British composer (1863–1928)
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
