Bella Notte - Steve Tyrell
Based on Ward Greene's short story Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog, Walt Disney's 15th animated feature film, Lady and the Tramp, has gained a solid place in the history of the studio.
The most memorable song in the film has got to be Bella Notte, a love ballad that is sung to the titular characters as they shared the same plate of spaghetti. This scene, even though it was created for the film and was never in the original story, has become a well recognized scene. It is argued to be the most romantic moment in Disney animation and has been parodied many times over the years.
This version is by pop jazz artist STEVE TYRELL and is a classy reworking of the song. I particularly like it when he breaks into Italian toward the end.
