Music on Monroe
Band leader Ray Anthony composed "My Marilyn" and performed it for Monroe at a special event following the production of Niagara in 1952.
"Marilyn Monroe Mambo" was a song and variation on the Mambo dance in the 1950s.
In 1973, Sir Elton John recorded "Candle in the Wind" on his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album as a tribute to Monroe. It remains a definitive lyrical homage.

She is mentioned among other Hollywood icons (such as Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich and James Dean) in the spoken passage of Madonna`s 1990 hit single " Vogue".
The British alternative rock band Suede recorded the song "Heroine" as an homage to Monroe. The track is included in Suede`s Dog Man Star album (1994).
