Night and Day (1932)

This great Cole Porter song was responsible for keeping alive the show The Gay Divorce (opened November 29th, 1932). It was introduced by Fred Astaire and Claire Luce, later it was featured in the 1934 film The Gay Divorcee (1934) starring Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Porter is said to have gotten inspiration for the tune from Morocco. Night and Day was one of many songs Frank Sinatra later made his own.
