I Love You (Cole Porter song)
" I Love You" is a song written by Cole Porter in 1944 for his stage musical" Mexican Hayride".
The New York Times reviewed the show saying, inter alia," Of Mr. Porter's score, the best number bears the title almost startling in its forthrightness," I Love You," and is the property of Mr. Evans"( Wilbur Evans).
However the rather commonplace lyrics of the song and why they were perhaps sub-standard for the songwriter was due to a challenge given Porter.
His friend Monty Woolley contended that Porter's talent lay in the off- beat and the esoteric, maintaining that he could never take a cliche title like" I Love You" and write lyrics that included the banal sentiment" It's spring again, and birds on the wing again" and be successful.
Porter accepted the challenge with the result that the song eventually topped the hit parade.
Porter remarked that the" superior melody overcame the ordinary lyric" .< br> In 1945 Ira B. Arnstein sued Cole Porter for plagiarizing his work and filed a suit in the Federal Court.
He had for twenty years been suing various songwriters and was considered to be a little eccentric.
He claimed that Porter had stolen four songs(" I Love YouDo n't Fence Me InBegin the Beguine" and" You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To").
A jury dismissed the charges and the judge, moreover, awarded Porter$ 2,500 in legal costs, a sum that, since Arnstein could n't pay it, kept him from any chance of prevailing in a federal court for the rest of his life.
Pauline Byrns
Pauline Byrns( May 6, 1917 – September 18, 1990) was an American singer who recorded successfully in the swing era of the late 1930s and 1940s, notably with Artie Shaw and the vocal groups Six Hits and a Miss and The Starlighters.
She was often credited as Pauline Byrne or Pauline Byrnes.
Singer Mel Tormé said of her:" Oh, what a singer ... I admired her so much".
She was born in Missouri.
At the age of 17 she won a talent contest in Washington, and began singing and touring with big bands.
In 1937 she moved to California and joined the singing group Three Hits and a Miss to replace Martha Tilton.
As the group changed personnel, so its name changed, later recording as Six Hits and a Miss; the group's other members included Vince Degen, her husband Jerry Preshaw, Howard Hudson- later her second husband- and Tony Paris.
In 1938, Byrne was described by the magazine" Records and Recording" as" one of the finest vocalists to grace a bit of waxed jazz in some years.
Her voice is a rich contralto, best in the lower register ..."
The group recorded with Bing Crosby, appeared in several movies in the early 1940s, including the Marx Brothers film" The Big Store", and performed regularly on the Bob Hope Show on radio.
The version of Cole Porter's" You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" by Six Hits and a Miss made no. 11 on the US charts in 1943.
She also recorded" Lullaby of Broadway" as a featured vocalist with the David Rose Orchestra, and in 1940 recorded" Gloomy Sunday" and" Do n't Fall Asleep" with the Artie Shaw Orchestra.
She formed another vocal group, The Starlighters, with Hudson, Degen and Paris, in 1946; an early member of the group was Andy Williams.
The Starlighters( unconnected to other groups of that name) recorded successfully for several labels in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including some records with Jo Stafford.
However, Byrns left the group in 1947, after giving birth to her first child.
Thereafter she retired from the music business.
In later years she lived in Encino and then Tarzana with her husband, Howard G. Hudson.
She died of cancer in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles at the age of 73.

Cole Porter
Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter.
Many of his songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics, and many of his scores found success on Broadway and in film.
Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, Porter defied his grandfather's wishes and took up music as a profession.
Classically trained, he was drawn to musical theatre.
After a slow start, he began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage.
Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote the lyrics as well as the music for his songs.
After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work.
His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and '30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, "Kiss Me, Kate".
It won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.
Porter's other musicals include "Fifty Million
FrenchmenDuBarry Was a LadyAnything GoesCan
-Can" and "Silk Stockings".
His numerous hit songs include "Night and DayBegin
the BeguineI Get a Kick Out of YouWell
, Did You Evah!I've Got You Under My SkinMy Heart Belongs to Daddy" and
"You're the Top".
He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including "Born to Dance" (1936), which featured the song "
You'd Be So Easy to LoveRosalie" (1937), which featured "In the Still of the NightHigh Society" (1956), which included "True Love"; and "Les Girls" (1957).
