1933 HITS ARCHIVE: Night And Day - Leo Reisman (Fred Astaire, vocal)

Huge Cole Porter song hit from the 1932 stage musical “Gay Divorce” [sic], which was Fred Astaire’s final Broadway musical before moving to Hollywood. This was the only song from the stage production that was carried over to the 1934 RKO film version “The Gay Divorcee,” which was Fred and Ginger’s first top-billed feature.

Fred's "Regular Joe",quality of voice,made him the top seller of song with many of the top songwriters of the day.

I remember this old song from the movie Gay Divorcee. Another great orchestra led by Leo Reisman and the well know vocalist Fred Astaire.

Yes, it was originally introduced in the 1932 Broadway version of "The Gay Divorce" {the extra "e" was added for the 1934 movie at the insistence of the Hollywood Production Code}. The song was *SO* popular, people referred to it as "The 'Night and Day' Show".
