This theme was composed by Cole Porter and it's a musical number of the film Born To Dance released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1936 November.
The theme was recorded for the soundtrack but, moreover, that same year, it was recorded by others singers and orchestras.
I found six recordings in five labels: Bluebird, Brunswick (2), Conqueror, Decca and Victor. What was the first performance?
After to check The Online Discographical Project, I think that the first performance is the recording by
Frances Langford with Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra on format 78 RPM, Decca 939, 1936-Aug-07.
There is numberless covers of this theme.
I like much the cover by Frank Sinatra & Bono on Sinatra's album {+Duets+}, Capitol, 1993
