Lynsey de Paul (born Lyndsey Monckton Rubin; 11 June 1948
Early life
Lyndsey Monckton Rubin was born to Meta (née de Groot) and Herbert Rubin, a property developer.[3] They were a Jewish family with a Dutch, Austrian and German background,[4] and had one other child, John (b. 1944). She studied classical music with a tutor from the Royal Academy of Music.[5][6] She attended South Hampstead High School followed by Hornsey College of Art, now part of Middlesex University. De Paul later claimed that she and her brother suffered physical abuse at the hands of their father.[7] In one incident as a student aged 19, de Paul was concussed for two days following a fight with her violent father, prompting her to leave her comfortable family home for a two roomed flat above an Indian restaurant near her College.[8][9]

In 1973, when Mick Ralphs left Mott the Hoople, his replacement Luther Grosvenor was contractually obliged to change his name – de Paul suggested Ariel Bender.[55] She also provided backing vocals (credited as "Loony") on "Rock 'N Roll Winter (Loony's Tune) (Sorry, The Word Spring Wouldn't Fit)"[56] and thus helped Wizzard (fronted by Roy Wood; her boyfriend at the time) reach the UK top 10 in 1974.[57] In February of that year, de Paul was voted top female singer in the UK music weekly Disc Readers Awards Poll, while David Bowie was voted top male singer and Slade the top group.[58] De Paul was also voted female singer of 1974 by Israeli Galei Zahal radio station.[59]

De Paul also continued to write songs for a wide range of recording artists. In a five-year period (1972–77), she wrote a total of fourteen UK Singles Chart hits,
Her third album, Love Bomb, was released on Jet Records in 1975.[76] Whereas the title track was released as a single in most territories,[77] in the US and Japan the track "Sugar Shuffle" was released as a single.[78][79] Later, US soul singer Cheryl Lynn would release her version of "Love Bomb" on her 1979 album "In Love" and Japanese singer Asami Kobayashi released a cover version of "Sugar Shuffle" on her 1984 album Cryptograph.[80] The cover sleeve for the Love Bomb album was photographed by Brian Aris[81] but she was also photographed that year by Terry O'Neill.[82] De Paul was voted best female singer in a poll by the readers of the weekly music newspaper Record Mirror & Disc for the third year in a row in February 1976.[83]

"
Together with Moran, de Paul subsequently wrote other songs, notably "
De Paul released a further single "You Give Me Those Feelings" in August 1977.[117] The song was also recorded by Gracie Rivera, a Filippina singer based in Hong Kong with EMI as a track on her 1978 album Gracie Ann Rivera.[118] In 1977, de Paul also wrote and performed the theme music for the revival by London Weekend Television of the sitcom, The Rag Trade (1977),[85] with the song "The Rag Trade" performed by Joan Brown.[119] That same year she composed "Hi Summer", the title of an ITV variety show, performed by Carl Wayne and released as a single produced by de Paul.[120] In addition to songs composed by her serving as the themes of nine prime-time UK television series, de Paul's songs have been featured in internationally released films such as The Big Sleep, The Long Good Friday, Anita and Me, Side by Side, Aces Go Places, American Swing, Northern Soul, Fraulein Phylllis and Cut Snake.[45]
Just over a year after the release of "You Give Me Those Feelings", de Paul released her next single "Hollywood Romance",[121] probably inspired by her then recent move to California; the lyric is a playful homage to some of Hollywood's classic films. The single garnered radio play and was also covered by Lena Zavaroni on her TV show.[122] It was a teaser and track on the 1979 album Tigers and Fireflies, which was produced by Rupert Holmes.[123][124] Justin de Villeneuve was Lynsey's manager at the time and the album was recorded at Long View Farm.[125] A second single, "Tigers and Fireflies", released in 1979 and lifted from the album, told of de Paul's experiences with various former managers.[126] Holmes and de Paul co-wrote the song "Twas", which also appeared on Tigers and Fireflies.[127] The album also featured a bluesy version of de Paul's hit "My Man and Me".

De Paul was a celebrity participant in the TV show Christmas Star Games, a Thames television production shown on ITV on 26 December 1980.[140] In 1982, she hosted a Sunday morning radio show on Capital Radio (now Capital London) to promote new talent in the music business. The show included selected examples of the many demonstration tapes received by the station from London's vast popular music-making population over the years.[141][142] Eduard Parma Jr. a musician from the Czech Republic, was selected as the winner of a contest on de Paul's show with his own quirky song "King Kong in Hong Kong" and it was released as a single,[143][144] which became a hit in his native country. It was widely played at London discos, in particular at the Empire, Leicester Square by DJ Roy Kelly.[145]
In 1982, De Paul made her acting debut onstage in Iain Blair’s thriller Shriek! at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley[146] and, in the following year, on television in Granada's The Starlight Ballroom, when she played the lead female character, alongside Alvin Stardust.[147] Her first panto appearance was as "Cinderella's Star Night" where de Paul played Cinderella and Joanna Lumley playing Prince Charming[148] as part of an all-star cast to raise funds for The Bobath Centre held at the Prince Edward Theatre, London, on 31 January 1982. The script was written by writers including Michael Frayn, Jack Rosenthal and John Cleese with the epilogue provided by Alan Ayckbourn and narrated by Ian McKellen and also featured Joanna Lumley, Nigel Havers and Helen Mirren.[148][149] De Paul also appeared in Aladdin at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1983 and Jack and the Beanstalk (Oxford Playhouse, 1989). She also appeared as the character Prudie in Pump Boys and Dinettes (Piccadilly Theatre, 1985).[150]
In 1983, de Paul orchestrated, played, and produced two classical records of compositions by Handel and Bach for Deutsche Grammophon and released "Air on a Heart String" backed with "Arrival of the Queen" with panflautist Horea Crishan.[151] During this period, de Paul began composing and performing songs for children. This included writing the music for the children's film Gabrielle and the Doodleman, in which she had a starring role as an actress.[45][152] That same year, she also appeared with Carl Davis in a specially commissioned film "What Price Music?" for the Performing Rights Society (PRS) explaining how the PRS looks after its 15,000 members as well as almost half a million affiliated members worldwide.[153][154]
De Paul also composed jingles for radio stations including
De Paul was the special guest of the day on Good Morning Britain: with Nick Owen and Anne Diamond on 17 February 1984.
In 1985, she was a judge on the television talent show New Faces and also on "Sky Star Search"[163] as well as a regular panellist on the television shows Call My Bluff,[164] Punchlines[165] and Blankety Blank.[166] She hosted television shows such as Club Vegetarian, Shopper's Heaven, Eat Drink & Be Healthy, Women of Substance, The Vinyl Frontier and 15 episodes of Living Room Legends, which featured home videos.[45]
In 1986, she appeared on Spanish TV as a guest on the Àngel Casas Show singing two of her 1980s compositions "Suspicion" and "Words Don't Mean a Thing" as well as her Spanish number one hit single "Sugar Me".[167] A year later, de Paul was back on UK television[168] singing "Take Back Your Heartaches" (co-written by Gerard Kenny - his version appeared on his 1995 album An Evening with Gerard Kenny Live)[169] and "Words Don't Mean a Thing". That year, de Paul took part in two days of music and fun on 5 and 6 July at the Royal Academy of Music in aid of its international appeal[170]
On 21 April 1989, she was a special guest and performed songs during
1990s
In January 1991, de Paul (along with Midge Ure and Justin Hayward) was elected to BASCA's decision making council.[172] De Paul was a member of the judging panel for the UK 1992 "Song For Europe" entry, the only woman on the 13 member panel.[173] That year, de Paul returned to the public spotlight in a different role in 1992 when she released a self-defence video for women called Taking Control. As well as starring in the video, both as the presenter and demonstrator of self-defence techniques, she co-wrote and was the producer for the theme song and incidental music with Ian Lynn.[174] Brian Mackenzie, Baron Mackenzie of Framwellgate, former president of the Police Association, endorsed it by saying: "It is a very positive contribution to crime prevention and the protection of women and I will be recommending it". She also presented a documentary about women's self-defence, called Eve Fights Back, which won a Royal Television Society award.[45] A book based on the programme and video written by de Paul and Clare McCormick with the title Taking Control: Basic Mental & Physical Self Defence for Women, was published by Boxtree in 1993.[175] In 2006, an updated DVD of her self-defence training programme, Taking Control: Simple Mental & Physical Self Defence for Women, was released[176] and featured on television (The Wright Stuff) and in the media. The programme showed the importance of self-defence for women, and she approached schools and universities to include the DVD in the curriculum. It was also released in Germany, with the title Selbstverteidigung für Frauen: Das komplette Trainingsprogramm dubbed in German.[177]
That same year, music magazine Rock Compact Disc Magazine, published by Northern & Shell PLC, listed the de Paul MAM 1970's compilation album Lynsey Sings aka The World of Lynsey de Paul (comprising all of the tracks from the Surprise album plus various non-album singles and B-sides) as one of the top 50 glam rock era albums in their "Wham Bam, Thank You Glam: 50 Glam Era Highlights 1972-1974" listing, with a greatest hits album from co-writer and colleague Barry Blue that also included his four hit singles written with de Paul also featuring in the listing and cementing their glam credentials.[178][179]

Guests included Judy Finnigan, Diana Moran, Claudia Winkleman, and Heather Mills.[199][200] In 1999, de Paul was featured on the cover of Saga Magazine, published by Saga plc, together with a lengthy interview where she discussed her early years, how she became a successful songwriter and her later four-year relationship with James Coburn and living with him in Los Angeles. De Paul stated for the first time that during this period she was in talks with Dolly Parton's management, but that they mysteriously broke off. She also spoke at length about her belief in the need for self-defence for women, giving the background to how she conceived the "Eve Fights Back" (aka "Eve Strikes Back") TV documentary and the "Taking Control" video.[201] That year she was also one of the judges for the Sony Radio Awards.[202]
2000s
In 2000, de Paul was present for the launch of the charity "Support for Africa 2000", with the aim to help those suffering from the effects of HIV/AIDS or malaria at a reception at the Nigerian Embassy in London, hosted by HE Prince Bola Ajibola, the Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK. Among the guests were Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia; tenor Russell Watson, who sang a duet with the charity's president Patti Boulaye; and Errol Brown.[203] De Paul was a long-term supporter of this charity and appeared at a number of their events and concerts.[203][204][205] She was a guest at the Cosmopolitan 30th anniversary event in 2002. In 2002, the de Paul/Blue song "Dancin' (on a Saturday Night)" was featured in the film Anita and Me as well as on the soundtrack album[206] and one year later it was also featured in the cult TV program Monkey Dust.[207]
Her longstanding contribution to the music industry was recognised in 2005 when de Paul received a Gold Badge Award from BASCA (now the Ivors Academy).[208] This was followed by her becoming a director on the board of the Performing Rights Society (PRS) on 30 June 2006 where she proved to be a long serving and active member. The PRS was renamed PRS for Music and in 2009 de Paul was re-elected for a second three-year term.[209] She was held in high regard by her peers at PRS, where she also served as Trustee of the Members Benevolent Fund.[210]
Since she had trained as an artist at the Hornsey College of Art and was a talented cartoonist (as evidenced from the gatefold album sleeve of her debut album, Surprise and other album sleeves she designed), she was employed as the resident cartoonist for OK! in its first year of weekly distribution in 2006, with her humorous pocket-cartoon series entitled "Light Entertainment". She also provided cartoons for the women's magazine Chic with another series of pocket-cartoons entitled "Woman to Woman".[211]
A 2006 episode of the BBC Radio 2 series Sold on Song, included Gamble and Huff, who talked about how they wrote some of their classic songs. Some were performed with Sheila Ferguson singing, and the program featured de Paul as well as Kim Appleby, Guy Fletcher, Steve Levine and David Arnold.[212][213]

She played the role of the American actress and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, together with Jeff Stewart, who portrayed the actor Gareth Hughes, who was Hopper's friend.[227] From 2013 until her death, de Paul was a regular guest newspaper reviewer for BBC Radio London 94.9 FM on the Simon Lederman Show, commenting on the day's news and current affairs.[228][229]
Two double CD anthologies of de Paul's songs from the 1970s including previously unreleased tracks, entitled
In 2015, PRS for Music established an annual Lynsey de Paul prize for emerging female singer-songwriters in honour of the singer-songwriter.[235] The 2015 winner of the prize was Emma McGrath,[236] who was presented with the award at an event celebrating the life of Lynsey de Paul, hosted by Esther Rantzen.[237] McGrath later said in an interview with Women's Music News "...I was 15 and I won the Lynsey de Paul Prize. I think that award is significant because she was creating a career at a time when it probably wasn't as easy as it is now to be a female in the music industry".[238] The second Lynsey de Paul prize was presented to Elsa Hewitt in September 2016.[239] Jemio was awarded the prize in 2017.[240] The PRS Foundation announced the 2018 winners of the Lynsey de Paul Prize on 27 September 2018, with soul singer-songwriter Amahla receiving the top bursary and five other (Bianca Gerald, Dani Sylvia, Fiona Lee, Rebekah Fitch and Harpy) being runners up.[241] Amahla went on to receive a "Rising Star Award" from Apple Music, as announced by PRS.[242]
In March 2018, de Paul was listed as one of the 65 iconic, most influential, women who have helped define the UK music industry from the 1950s until the present day by Annie Rew Shaw in Women's Music News.[243] Her performance of her song "Sugar Shuffle" appeared on the Bob Stanley compiled album, 76 In The Shade, released in August 2020.[244] It reached No. 23 on the Dutch album charts.[245]
Media mentions and influence

At least four of de Paul's songs have been used as the basis for other songs. The first was "
The original recording of her song "
De Paul has been impersonated on television programmes such as
The actor and writer
Robert Holmes, the founder of the musical group Love Bomb, was inspired to choose this name for the group because of the de Paul song of the same name.
In an interview with Drew Tosh from Northern Soul about female singer-songwriters, Bronté Barbé said "In the early 70s UK musical landscape, Lynsey de Paul was the only British woman to achieve major success with her own work. She wrote 14 hits over five years and performed seven of them herself. In 1974 she became the first woman to win a coveted Ivor Novello song writing award going on to win another the following year. An accomplished pianist, producer and arranger, her distinctive multi-tracked falsetto vocals were later favoured by the likes of Enya. Often seen as a precursor to Kate Bush".[291]
Light is shed on de Paul's character in the book Everybody Died, So I Got a Dog, written by the writer and radio presenter, Emily Dean, who as a girl was fascinated by her neighbour and she recounts wise advice that de Paul gave her.[292] Dean also mentioned de Paul in a magazine interview she gave for Saga.[293] De Paul is also mentioned several times in Broken Greek, the evocative memoir by the music writer by Pete Paphides.[294] She also features prominently in the biography of James Coburn, written by Coburn's daughter-in-law and based on material from tapes recorded by Coburn for an unfinished autobiography.[295]
Close friend Esther Rantzen was quoted as saying "Lynsey was a close friend and neighbour and we saw a lot of each other. She was beautiful and ageless; she looked 35 and was so gifted. She was a writer and composer but she was also very clever with words, very witty. Obviously she sang and played the piano, but she was also an artist, she painted as well. In fact, she could do everything. I called her Renaissance woman. She really was quite outstanding".[296]
Personal life
De Paul never married. She was romantically involved with Dudley Moore, Chas Chandler, Roy Wood, Ringo Starr, James Coburn, Bill Kenwright, Dodi Fayed, George Best, Bernie Taupin and David Frost.[297][298][299][300] She received five marriage proposals, one of them from Chandler and another from Coburn.[297][298][300] She also had an affair with Sean Connery, which she later regretted and claimed to be "horrified" after discovering comments Connery had made in interviews in which he had suggested it was acceptable to hit women. De Paul later stated that Connery's remarks and her upbringing with a violent father inspired her participation in campaigns to raise awareness against domestic violence.[301][302] In his autobiography, George Best said that de Paul was "fiercely independent".[303] In 1977, in an interview with music journalist Barry Cain that appeared in Record Mirror, de Paul prophetically said, "I guess I'll never get married. My first love will always be music."[110]
She was a patron of the Spike Milligan Statue Memorial Fund and was present for the unveiling of the statue in his honour in September 2014.[234] She was also a friend of another ex-Goon, Michael Bentine, and a former neighbour of Michael Palin, who mentions her in his published diaries.[305]
During the 1970s, de Paul bought a 'haunted' gothic style home in Holly Village,[306] Highgate, before moving in the 1990s to a Victorian mansion in Hampstead, in North London. She named it "Moot Grange", an anagram of "No Mortgage", after also considering "Gnome Groat" and "No Meat/Grog", the latter because she was vegetarian and teetotal. Her home at the time of her death, was in Mill Hill, in North West London. De Paul was a long-time campaigner for animal rights and shared her house with a three-legged cat called Tripod.[139]
Politically, de Paul was referred to as a supporter of the Conservative Party and appeared at the 1983 Conservative conference along with other celebrities where she sang a jingle she had composed for the event.[155]
She put her career on hold at the end of the 1990s until the end of 2001 to look after her ailing mother, who, until she died, was the company secretary for Lynsey de Paul Music Limited.[4][307] Upon de Paul's own death in 2014, her brother John, a consultant surveyor by training, was appointed sole company director of her music company.[308]
