The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

September 30, 2017 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: The Lady is a Tramp

The song of the day for Sunday, October 1, 2017 is “The Lady is a Tramp.”

About This Song

This song was written in 1937 by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers for the Broadway musical Babes In Arms, where it was introduced by Mitzi Green. The song was meant as a spoof on the high society of New York, where the singer is clear about what she likes to do, no matter what everyone else is doing. “The Lady Is A Tramp” has been sung by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne.

About This Version

For our first song in the month honouring Lady Gaga, it’s only right that I feature the first song that Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recorded together: “The Lady is a Tramp” for the album Duets II. The terrific arrangement is by the very terrific Marion Evans.

The Lady is a Tramp

Listen to The Lady is a Tramp on Spotify. Tony Bennett · Song · 2011.


“The Lady is a Tramp,” as well as Duets II, is available from iTunes.

A lot of the songs that Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have recorded also have great videos as well. I’ll be posting them all, whether it’s Saturday or not!
