You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" is a 1930 popular song. The credits list music and lyrics as written by Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal, and Pierre Norman. Since Fain was primarily a musicwriter and Kahal a lyricist, it may be assumed that the music was by Fain and lyrics were by Kahal, with Norman's contribution uncertain.

The song was introduced in the movie The Big Pond (1930) by Maurice Chevalier. The song has been used in other movies, including Monkey Business (1931) where the Marx Brothers steal Chevalier's passport and sing this song to try to prove they are Chevalier.

The song is a well-known standard, recorded by many artists, though Chevalier's and Frank Sinatra's versions are best known.

A recording by Eileen Barton, issued by Mercury Records as catalog number 5410, was one of Barton's early records, but did not sell well.

In the nudie cartoon magazine "Sex to Sexty," the song was included as a "Balled-Up Ballad"--i.e., with racy lyrics added:

When we climbed in bed, one night last week,
I found we have the same physique;
You brought a new kind of love to me.
