This is the discography for American pop musician Steve Lawrence.[1][2] It contains over 30 studio albums, over 10 compilation albums, 65 singles and other charted songs and released. His debut single was 1952's "Poinciana", released on King Records. It peaked at No. 21 on the US pop charts, becoming his first hit as well. The following single would see less traction, but in 1953, he returned to the charts with "How Many Stars Have to Shine". That year, his debut album was released by the label, titled Steve Lawrence.
During his move to Coral Records in the mid 1950s, he scored more hits. The first few singles seemed to miss the charts and went nowhere, until 1957, when he had a total of 6 hits just that year, including: "The Banana Boat Song" (top-20 pop), "Party Doll" (top-5 pop). Several albums followed the singles, Here's Steve Lawrence and Songs By Steve Lawrence were Coral releases as well. Just like with King, the hits dried up by the next year, and eventually in 1959, he moved to ABC-Paramount where he scored two more immediate top-10 pop hits. But the contract was short-lived and he signed United Artists Records where his "Portrait of My Love" once again hit the top-10 pop charts.
This time, his hit streak continued, and several charting albums came around, too. In 1962, he had his biggest hit with "Go Away Little Girl" which hit number 1 on the pop charts, and number 14 on the R&B charts. Lawrence's best-selling LP was released soon after, titled Winners!. The sequel Academy Award Losers was released two years later. His singles shifted to the easy listening genre, with several top-20 releases in the late 1960s. "Sweet Maria" became his final pop hit in 1967. Lawrence's final charting release came in 1975 with "Now That We're in Love", which hit number 16 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
