Song of the Day: The Lady is a Tramp

The song of the day for Wednesday, March 10. 2021, is “The Lady is a Tramp.”

About This Song

“The Lady is a Tramp” was written by Richard Rodgers and Larry 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 Duets II. It features an impeccable arrangement by Marion Evans.

This was the first time the pair worked together. Since that time, they put out the album Cheek to Cheek in 2014 and another album is due later this year.

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