Description
"Easy to Love" is a masterpiece of the Great American Songbook composed by Cole Porter in 1936. Designed with an elegant 32-bar ABAC structure, the tune seamlessly moves between major and relative minor harmonies before resolving into a bright, sweeping major cadence. Though initially written as a romantic ballad, it evolved into a beloved jazz standard embraced by icons like Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, and Ella Fitzgerald, who transformed its melodic grace into swinging, high-energy improvisational vehicles.
Fun Fact:
Cole Porter originally wrote "Easy to Love" in 1934 for the broadway musical Anything Goes, but star actor William Gaxton turned it down because he felt the high notes were beyond his vocal range. Porter shelved the tune, adapted the vocal line slightly, and resurrected it two years later for the 1936 film Born to Dance, where it was famously sung on screen by screen icon James Stewart—one of his very few singing roles in cinema.
