- You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me
"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 , andPierre 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) byMaurice Chevalier . The song has been used in other movies, including "Monkey Business" (1931) where theMarx 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 byMercury 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.Recorded versions
