From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_This_Thing_Called_Love%3F:
"What Is This Thing Called Love?"is a 1929
popular
song written by
Cole Porter, for the musical
Wake Up and Dream. It was first performed by
Elsie Carlisle in March 1929. The song has become a popular
jazz standard and one of Porter's most often played compositions.[1]
Wake Up and Dream ran for 263 shows in London.[1]
The show was also noticed in New York, and the critics praised
Tilly Losch's performance of the song.[2]
The show was produced on
Broadway in December 1929; in the American rendition, "What Is This
Thing Called Love" was sung by Frances Shelley.
Ginny Simms performed the song in the 1946 biographical film about
Porter's life,
Night and Day... |
From http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-0/whatisthisthingcalledlove.htm:
Britain’s
“Radio Sweetheart Number One,” singer
Elsie Carlisle, introduced “What Is This Thing Called Love?” to the
London Pavilion on March 27th, 1929. The song was performed
as part of Wake Up and Dream, a musical revue with words and
music composed by Cole Porter and the book by John Hastings Turner. The Wake Up and Dream score comprised over a dozen Porter songs, including “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall in Love,” which was introduced the previous year in the musical Paris... Leo Reisman and His Orchestra (Lew Conrad, vocal) would be the first artist to place “What Is This Thing Called Love” on the pop charts. On February 15, 1930, 11 months after its introduction, the song made its chart debut rising to number five. Cole Porter claimed that “What Is This Thing Called Love?” with its innovative alternating major and minor key changes, was inspired by a Moroccan native dance. In the biography Cole: A Biographical Essay by Robert Kimball and Brendan Gill, the lyrics of the song are placed next to a picture of Tilly Losch and Toni Birkmayer in dance pose. Towering over them is William Cavanagh dressed as an African idol. This exotic costuming and dramatization would seem to reflect the supposed origin of the piece. |

THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0623.htm -
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: Sunday, June 23, 1861 AERONAUT ACHIEVES AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT Today the Union Army acquired an air force. One Thaddeus S.C. Lowe, who called himself “professor” although his academic affiliation is unclear, had last week demonstrated his tethered balloon to President Lincoln, communicating by telegraph from it. Today he ascended with an artist and observed the Confederate units around Falls Church, Va. The artist sketched the scene, providing the closest thing to aerial photography that the technology allowed. Monday, June 23, 1862 JACKSON JUDGES JOURNEY JEOPARDY JUSTIFIED A very important meeting was held at Robert E. Lee’s headquarters at Dabb’s House north of Richmond. All principle generals were there, including Stonewall Jackson who had ridden ahead of his divisions to make it. The assessment: McClellan was getting too close to Richmond for comfort. The city could not withstand a siege. It was time to go on the offensive and turn McClellan’s line and drive him back North. The decision reached, Jackson rode back to speed his divisions onward. The attack could not begin without them. Thursday, June 23, 1864 |

What Is This Thing Called Love?
Written by
Cole
Porter (09 June 1891 – 15 Oct
1964), 1929
I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That’s why I ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
’til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter’s chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?
