I was SO lucky to see and hear Stephanie in the original Starlight Express. I'll never forget the impact her voice had - absolutely stunning.

The original Pearl... you will be missed. Thank you for giving your perfect voice to a show that inspires so many!!

I'm in a choir and my solo song is this song, my fave musical and I'll be doing Stephanie's version, nothing compares. You're still loved sweetheart ❤ xx

Man this takes me back to 1984. Also remember the late great Mike Staniforth who played CB the Red Caboose.

Stephanie went to stage school with my cousin (royal Ballet school). I saw her in starlight and she was amazing; years later I, myself performed in the west end show (Purse). However I got to work with her years earlier; she was the lead in Kiss Me Kate, Savoy Theatre, London - that was a great thrill; she was lovely and very kind to me. Sadly missed. xx

Steph would have been 70 today R I P , old friend from school days at Broadview House School, Hayling Island.

a stunning talent I also love her version of next time you fall in love tragic loss way too young sincerest condolences RIP

Stephanie, was a Great friend and Aunt to me Adele Lawrence, and i was privileged to go to many first nights, miss you Steph very much xx ...

Hi Vicki, I have wonderful memories of your cousin. She was a beautiful and talented lady. In the mid 80's, I was on a work assignment to the UK (via USA). I was friends with Stephanie's brother Adrian on Hayling Island. Stephanie would come down for rest and we would visit in London at her flat or backstage. I will never forget Stephanie's soulful kindness and my friendship with Adrian...30 years later!

Thank you so much for putting this on, i never got to see her in this but started working backstage when kim leeson took over who was excellent but Stephanie is the ONLY one who can sing this song. God bless you and Mr Staniforth who was wonderful. I never knew about the alcohol, i thought it was Cocaine

This is my 1st cousin singing so beautifully !

Wonderful

no one will ever be able to sing it like her RIP Stephanie Lawrence

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for posting. RIP Stephanie Lawrence.

She is missed so much. I first saw her in the Blue Angel at Bristol Old Vic. Amazing thank you

A powerful rendition of a beautiful song by the original and best Pearl. Thankyou for posting. <3

Brilliant song and the best version from a musical that I would never want to see again.

This is what KZread is all about!!!

I was lucky enough to have seen her live on stage many times what a woman she was and a tragic and untimely loss to the magic of musical theatre

Such a great entertainer and very missed. ❤️
