Night and Day

According to Holidays on the Net, today is Fred Astaire's birthday. So, I thought I'd post a song he's made popular that many musicians have covered.

"Night and Day" was written by Cole Porter and is part of the Great American Songbook.  It was written for the 1932 play Gay Divorce and was featured in the 1934 film adaptation, The Gay Divorcee. Fred Astaire sung it in both the play and the film. In 1946, a movie called Night and Day was made starring Cary Grant as Cole Porter and Alexis Smith as Linda Lee Porter. It's about "the fictionalized biography of composer Cole Porter from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success to the 1940s." More information about the song can be obtained from the Wikipedia entry.

Now, for the goodies... below is an overload of the various covers of the song including Fred Astaire's and Cole Porter's versions. If you can believe it, there are even more! Sorry for the odd alignment, but I can't seem to get everything aligned the way I intended. Vu came to the rescue.
