Gypsy is the soundtrack to the television film Gypsy. Based on the autobiography of Gypsy Rose Lee, this made-for-TV adaptation of the 1959 musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable written by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim depicts the life and times of a stripper and her domineering mother. The album was released in 1993 and features Bette Midler, who also starred in the film as the character Mama Rose. Midler's performance earned her a Golden Globe Award in 1994 for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or a TV Film. Gypsy also received an unprecedented twelve Emmy nominations.
Despite the fact that the film only aired on the CBS channel in the US and the soundtrack only featured Midler on seven of the seventeen tracks it was released as a Bette Midler album by Atlantic Records worldwide in 1993. The film has however since been released on VHS/DVD in most parts of the world.
The Gypsy soundtrack peaked at #183 on Billboard's album chart but failed to chart in the UK.
All music written by Jule Styne. All lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim.
