Easy to Love
Lyrics ,Music:Cole Porter
The song was publishe 1936.
Actor Jimmy Stewart introduced “Easy to Love”
in the 1936 film Born to Dance, singing it to Frances Langford
as they walked in Central Park.
It was his only vocal performance on screen, and with good reason.
Porter actually recommended Stewart for the role but was concerned
about the actor’s singing ability.
In Cole: A Biographical Essay by musical theater historian Robert Kimball,
Porter is quoted as saying, “...Stewart came over to the house
and I heard him sing.
He sings far from well, although he has nice notes in his voice,
but he could play the part perfectly.”
Says Charles Schwartz in Cole Porter: A Biography,“Nor did Stewart’s
rendition of the tune disprove Cole’s original assessment of his voice,
for his pipsqueak though earnest tenor did little justice to the song.
Nonetheless, the pithy lyrics, flowing melody,
and tasteful harmony of ‘Easy to Love’ easily survived Stewart’s assault,
and the song went on to receive great acclaim.”
I'm just wasting
precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely to blame
For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every
homefire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
Billie Holiday
Susannah McCorkle
Sarah Vaughan
Doris Day
Ella Fitzgerald
