The music was written by Victor Schertzinger, the lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The song was published in 1941. The song was one of several introduced in the movie The Fleet's In (1942). It was sung in the film by Dorothy Lamour (with harmony by Bob Eberly, and Helen O'Connell and featuring the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra).

He gave it to her the day after she married David Rose. Australian singer Frank Ifield recorded the song in a yodeling country-music style on 27 May 1962, and his version went to number one on the Australian Top 40 charts, as well as the UK Singles Chart, selling 1.1 million copies in the UK. It also reached number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the U.S. Easy Listening chart.

There is an electric guitar strumming chords. The rhythm is being played on the ride cymbal by the acoustic drums. The instrumentals have a sophisticated feel. This piece could be playing in the background at a classy restaurant. | 2011-01-02T10:43:06Z | RoundMidnightTV | "Sophisticated Lady" is a jazz standard, composed as an instrumental in 1932 by Duke Ellington and Irving Mills, to which words were added by Mitchell Parish. The words met with approval from Ellington, who described them as "wonderful — but not entirely fitted to my original conception." That original conception was inspired by three of Ellington's grade school teachers. "They taught all winter and toured Europe in the summer. To me that spelled sophistication." Billie's accompanied by Joe Mondragon (bass), Alvin Stoller (drums), Barney Kessel (guitar), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet), and Ben Webster (Tenor Saxophone). Recorded August 18, 1956, Los Angeles. (Verve Records) They say into your early life romance came And then this heart of yours burned a flame A flame that flickered one day and died away Then with disillusion deep in your eyes You learned that fools in love soon grow wise The years have changed you somehow I see you now Smoking, drinking, never thinking Of tomorrow, nonchalant Diamonds shining, dancing, dining With some man in a restaurant Is that all you really want? No, sophisticated lady I know, you miss the love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh [near] you cry Smoking, drinking, never thinking Of tomorrow, nonchalant Diamonds shining, dancing, dining With some man in a restaurant Is that all you really want? No, sophisticated lady I know, you miss the love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh [near] you cry Sophisticated lady you cry | ["Brass instrument", "Saxophone"] | ["jazz", "tuba", "saxophone", "electric guitar", "acoustic drums", "melancholic", "sophisticated"] | 9 | 5r4jLwjj_Ik | 698 | |
