Lucky Lady is the original soundtrack of the 1975 film with the same name, directed by Stanley Donen and set during the Prohibition era. The album features performances by Liza Minnelli in a smoky nightclub style, songs by Fred Ebb and John Kander original recordings by Bessie Smith, and a spoken rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'" by Burt Reynolds.
Arranged and conducted by Ralph Burns, the soundtrack emphasizes the nostalgic 1930s atmosphere of the film and includes adaptations of traditional American tunes. It was released in January 1976 and received varied critical attention, with some reviewers praising its arrangements and charm while others highlighted its stylized, campy tone.
