"Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce, and is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook.
Fred Astaire introduced "Night and Day" on stage, and his recording of the song was a № 1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and it became one of his signature pieces. The song itself became an American standard and has been recorded by dozens of artists.
Porter was known to claim that the Islamic call to worship he heard on a trip to Morocco inspired the song.
The song was so associated with Porter that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day.
"Night and Day" has been recorded many times, notably by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and U2.
