The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 15, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: The Lady is a Tramp

The song of the day for Saturday, February 16, 2019, is “The Lady is a Tramp.”

About This Song

Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote “The Lady is a Tramp” in 1937 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. More recently, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga sang a duet of this song on their 2011 album Duets II.

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recorded “The Lady is a Tramp” in 2011 for the album Duets II. It was the first time the pair worked together; in 2014 the duo released an album together: Cheek to Cheek. The excellent arrangement of “The Lady is a Tramp” is by the great Marion Evans.
