Night and Day (song)
" Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter that was written for the 1932 musical" Gay Divorce".
It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of musicians.
Fred Astaire introduced" Night and Day" on stage.
His recording of the song with the Leo Reisman orchestra was a No. 1 hit, topping the charts of the day for ten weeks.
He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed" The Gay Divorcee", and it became one of his signature songs.
There are several accounts about the song's origin.
One mentions that Porter was inspired by an Islamic prayer when he visited Morocco.
Another account says he was inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alcazar Hotel in Cleveland Heights, Ohio..
Others mention that he was inspired by a Mosaic of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, he had been visiting during a trip of his honeymoon in Italy.
The song was so associated with Porter that when Hollywood filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled" Night and Day".
In addition to the numerous covers that have followed its official release, this song has entered fully what could be described as the collective unconscious.
Thereby, artists such as Hozier have hinted at this song.
The Irish singer has thus alluded the song in his own song called" Almost" published through the release of his sophomore album," Wasteland, Baby!".
The lyrics being as followed:" The drums that start off" Night And Day
