Tonight is dedicated to another of Cole’s signature tunes. As Cole and Moss Hart were collating the songs for their musical, Moss realized that they lacked a song for the second act. Cole knocked this one out in the course of an evening.
Doris sang this classic in two Hollywood musicals: “Lullaby of Broadway” in 1951, and “Young at Heart” in 1954. This is a 1951 clip. You can see how Doris started out as a dancer before turning to song. This version is cute, perky – and completely misses the point.
