Typed lyrics for the Rodgers and Hart song The Lady is a
Tramp, signed by Tony and Grammy-winning singer Lena Horne. She sang this

Typed lyrics signed "Lena Horne". 1 page, 8½x11. Headed:
"THE LADY IS A TRAMP/Words by Lorenz Hart/Music by Richard Rodgers". Three
stanzas of lyrics. This song was originally written for the Broadway musical
Babes in Arms (1937) and soon became a popular standard. Horne sang
this song in the 1948 film Words and Music, a tribute to the
songwriting team of Rodgers and Hart, and later in her one-woman Broadway
show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music (1981-1982). Sultry American
jazz singer and actress Horne (1917-2010) began performing at age six and
left school at 16 to support her sick mother. She began singing at Harlem's
Cotton Club in 1933, where Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington took her under their
wings. She later performed with Noble Sissle's Orchestra and Teddy Wilson's big
band. Horne won critical acclaim for her performance in Stormy Weather
(1943) and for singing the movie's title song. Although she was
the first black American woman to sign a long-term movie contract with a
major studio (MGM), her films were shot so that her scenes could be cut out
before being shown in the South. Horne placed a single, Love Me or Leave
Me, in the Billboard Top 20 in 1955 and won two Grammy Awards
(1981 for her album Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music and 1995 for
her album An Evening with Lena Horne) and was nominated for a Tony in
1958 for her performance in Jamaica (1957-1959). Horne also won a
special Tony in 1981 for her one-woman show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her
Music. Fine condition.
