Night & Day - The Metropolis Swing Quartet (2010)

The Metropolis Swing Quartet play Cole Porter's "Night and Day".

It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce. It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of artists.

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.

"Night and Day" has been recorded many times, notably by Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, and even Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart and U2.
