Cole Porter (1891-1964) composed "Begin the Beguine" in 1935 at the piano in the bar of the Ritz Hotel in Paris. In October of that year the song was introduced by June Knight in the Broadway musical "Jubilee" produced at the Imperial Theatre in New York City. In 1938, bandleader Artie Shaw (in collaboration with Jerry Gray) wrote what remains today the most famous arrangement of the work.
-------------------------------------------
Cole Porter naît dans une famille aisée ; son grand-père était un négociant en charbons et bois de construction. Sa mère lui inculqua dès son plus jeune âge les premiers rudiments musicaux et lui fit apprendre le violon à partir de l'âge de six ans, puis le piano deux ans plus tard. À l'âge de dix ans, avec l'aide de sa mère, il écrivit sa première opérette. Son grand-père aurait aimé lui voir embrasser une carrière d'avocat, ce qui conduisit le jeune homme à entrer à la Worcester Academy, puis a passer par l'université Yale en 1909 (où il devint membre de la célèbre société secrète Scroll and Key), puis à passer une année à la Faculté de droit de Harvard en 1913. Après avoir pris conscience de sa passion pour la musique, il abandonna l'étude du droit pour entrer à la Harvard's School of Music. En 1916, il présenta à Broadway sa première œuvre publique, See America First (sur un livret de T. Lawrason Riggs), qui fut un échec, les représentations cessant au bout de deux semaines seulement.
