Free Music Notes for Lady Sings The Blues (1972 Film)

Free Music Review: Favorite Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars

This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out when I was 16. My original vinyl of the soundtrack had developed lots of scratches, pops and hisses from years of use, so I was thrilled to be able to replace it with a CD. The music is great and, if you've seen the film, the included dialogue aids in moving the story along. The first half of the CD is a mixture of dialogue and songs while the second half is all songs.

I know this isn't much of a review. I'm not a reviewer and I'm not a particularly knowledgeable music person so I can only say, "Watch the movie. If you like the music, buy this soundtrack!"

Lady Sings The Blues (1972 Film) Poster

Face it, when searching for female singers to portray the hard-knock life of troubled jazz legend Billie Holiday, Diana Ross's name shouldn't even have come to mind. But portray her she did, earning herself an Oscar nod in the process. The mother of all divas did Lady Day's legacy proud. This soundtrack (which includes dialogue from the 1972 film) ain't Holiday, but it ain't bad; Ross is in fine and flavorful voice. She manages to both capture Holiday's idiosyncratic sound (which such pretenders to the throne as Erykah Badu have trampled on) and still sound enough like herself to satisfy her own legions of fans. She conjures up Holiday's vulnerability and phrasing without attempting to slavishly imitate. As an homage this works. --Amy Linden
