Lee Lawrence (born Julius Leon Sirota, 1 September 1920 – 25 February 1961) was a British singer who was popular in the 1950s.He made his first recordings for Decca Records in the late 1940s. His songs included "How Can You Buy Killarney", "Song of Capri", "So Ends My Search For My Dream", all in 1949; "The World is Mine Tonight" (his theme song) in 1950; "With These Hands", "A Beggar in Love", and "Vanity" in 1951; "At Last, At Last" and "The Man in the Black Sombrero" in 1952; "Crying in the Chapel" in 1953; and "Suddenly There's a Valley" in 1955.
He was a popular attraction on the British variety circuit in the early and mid 1950s, and had his own series on Radio Luxembourg in 1955. After losing popularity to rock and roll performers in Britain, and failing to have a hit with the song "Rock'n'Roll Opera" which parodied such singers as Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Tommy Steele, he moved in 1957 to the US, where he performed cabaret shows in the Catskills "Borscht Belt".
