Song of the Day: The Lady is a Tramp

The song of the day for Monday, February 20, 2023, is “The Lady is a Tramp.”

About This Song

“The Lady is a Tramp” was written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the 1937 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

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recorded “The Lady is a Tramp” in 2011 for the album Duets II. It was arranged and conducted by Marion Evans.

Duets II won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Album.

“The Lady is a Tramp,” as well as Duets II is available on Apple Music.

Here’s the recording for “The Lady is a Tramp” with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett:
