Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording
This soundtrack features many fine voices and is generous with the film's background music, but at its heart Lady and the Tramp is a showcase for the incomparable Peggy Lee, who wrote and performed several of the movie's best songs. Her vocal turn as the sexy but rundown street dog on "He's a Tramp" redefines the word showstopper, but even better is the slinky "Siamese Cat Song." It's both a duet (Lee sings the parts of both Si and Am) and a deadpan work of veterinary psychology. The kids will be humming it for weeks. So will you. --John Sanchez

CD Reviews

The soundtrack is lovely, but the full songs were better.

"Lady and the Tramp has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. The musical score for this animated great is simply wonderful. I was excited to see Disney re-release the soundtrack, and snapped up a copy as soon as I could. The sound was as wonderful as I remembered, except for one thing...the CD has only the clipped parts of the songs that were in the movie, not the whole songs as originally recorded. I had a record as a child that had the full songs (and how I wish I'd kept it!), and that was what I was expecting to find on the CD. I'm still so disappointed to not hear the full effects of the almost heart-breaking "What Is a Baby?" and the beautiful, haunting "La La Lu". I have a baby of my own now, and the songs I sing to him as I rock him to sleep are these two, as best as I can remember them from my own childhood, not as the abbreviated versions on this CD."
Classic Disney. Classic Lee.

"Make no mistake about it Miss Peggy Lee is one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has ever known! Without Peggy Lee there would be no "Lady and the Tramp". Not only is this a shining example of her abilities as a lyricist it is also a tribute to her talents as a vocal actress ... no one else in the history of animated films supplied so many voices to one feature. She is both Si and Am ("We Are Siamese"), Peg ("He's A Tramp") and Darling ("La La Lu"). Listen very carefully to the opening song "Silent Night" underneath the familiar song is a counter-melody written by Sonny Burke with lyrics by Peggy ("Silent as a snowflake in the night ..."), it is sheer musical genius!Sincere-Lee,Robert Strom THE PEGGY LEE FAN CLUB 744 COLLIER DRIVE SAN LEANDRO, CA 94577"
Charming, Romantic and Wonderfully Composed

"You will be child again with this wonderful, romantic, and charming soundtrack of one of Disney's masterpieces. I simply adore this score. The songs are just perfect! "Bella Notte" captures the magic of Christmas time, but, anyway, it is a song to be heard all year long. And it is even better when sung and played by the chorus as a background for the two dogs in love. Miss Peggy Lee is a gift from heaven, delivering all her talent throughout the disc. Also, the talents of Oliver Wallace and Sony Burke make this score a truly jewel in the Disney crown. And don't you ever think of missing "Home Sweet Home"!"
