From This Moment On (Cole Porter song)
"From This Moment On" is a 1950 popular song written by Cole Porter, which has since become a jazz standard. It was originally written for the 1950 musical Out of This World, but director George Abbott dropped it from the musical before its Broadway premiere, possibly due to lackluster singing by cast member William Eythe.[1] It was then included in MGM's 1953 film Kiss Me Kate, an adaptation of Porter's stage musical Kiss Me, Kate[2] when it was sung by Ann Miller, Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse and Bobby Van.
Many versions of the song have been recorded including those by:
- Anita O'Day - for her album An Evening with Anita O'Day (1955)[3]
- Diana Krall - included in the album From This Moment On (2006)
- Doris Day - a single release in 1950.[4]
- Ella Fitzgerald - for Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956)
- Frank Sinatra - A Swingin' Affair! (1957)
- Lena Horne - Stormy Weather (1957)
- Rosemary Clooney - from the album On Stage (1955)[5]
- The Supremes sang this song for their album The Supremes at the Copa (1965), however, it was removed from the official album. You can find this version on youtube.
