Blow, Gabriel, Blow – Cole Porter

Ray Goetz, producer of Paris and Fifty Million Frenchmen, whose success had kept him solvent when other producers were bankrupted by the post-crash slump in Broadway business, invited Porter to write a musical show about the other city that he knew and loved: New York. Goetz offered the team with whom Porter had last worked, Herbert Fields writing the book and Porter’s old friend Monty Woolley directing. The New Yorkers (1930) acquired instant notoriety for including a song about a streetwalker, “Love for Sale”. Originally performed by Kathryn Crawford in a street setting, critical disapproval led Goetz to reassign the number to Elizabeth Welch in a nightclub scene. The lyric was considered too explicit for radio at the time, though it was recorded and aired as an instrumental and rapidly became a standard. Porter often referred to it as his favorite of his songs. The New Yorkers also included the hit “I Happen to Like New York”.

Long just before the days of the web, one had to leave their apartment and occasionally made a big ordeal on getting to a shop to purchase sheet music. Printable written music is now way more popular than having to purchase books and waiting for them to be delivered or perhaps getting yourself to a shop. Or perhaps, you could have obtained the music from a friend, and then asked your kind neighbour to photocopy it – what a hassle.
