Tracks: Main Title...Including "St. Bridget" It's Today Open A New Window The Man In The Moon My Best Girl We Need A Little Christmas Mame Loving You The Letter Bosom Buddies Gooch's Song If He Walked Into My Life Finale About The Record: Mame, by Lucille Ball, is the soundtrack to the 1974 film adaptation of the 1966 Broadway musical, based on Patrick Dennis's 1955 novel Auntie Mame. It showcases Ball as the eccentric Mame Dennis, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, capturing her spirited performance despite mixed critical reception due to her vocal limitations and age. Historically significant as Ball's final major film role, the album reflects her determination to take on a challenging musical part after a successful television career, though it faced criticism for not matching the Broadway production's energy, particularly Angela Lansbury?s iconic stage portrayal. Notable tracks include It's Today, Open a New Window, We Need a Little Christmas, Bosom Buddies (a duet with Bea Arthur), and the title song Mame, though none achieved significant chart success as hit singles. The album remains a cultural artifact for fans of Ball and classic musicals, despite its lukewarm commercial and critical impact.
