Torch Song Trilogy (film)

Torch Song Trilogy 1988 is an American comedydrama film adapted by Harvey Fierstein from his play of the same title.

The soundtrack for Torch Song Trilogy was released on the Polydor label on LP, cassette, and CD on December 8, 1988. The album charted on the jazz charts of industry magazines Billboard and Cashbox.The song This Time the Dreams On Me sung by Ella Fitzgerald, which is used several times throughout the film including over the closing credits, was excised from the planned soundtrack album by Norman Granz, Fitzgeralds longtime manager, when he invoked a contractual clause which gave Fitzgerald the right to refuse her material to appear on an album featuring another artist known in the music industry as a coupling clause. In actuality, Granz was unhappy with the money offered by the record company, PolyGram Records now part of Universal Music, for the use of the song in the film and refused permission for its inclusion on the album out of spite. ........
