"Easy to Love" is a song with words and music by Cole Porter, first written in 1934 for William Gaxton to sing in the Broadway musical Anything Goes. It was cut from the show because of its wide vocal range. Porter reworked it for the 1936 film Born to Dance, where Eleanor Powell, James Stewart and Frances Langford introduced it. The early hit versions were by Shep Fields and Ray Noble in 1936, and Frances Langford's original recording with Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra was also issued that year. Billie Holiday, Maxine Sullivan, Charlie Parker with Strings, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra are among the later artists who recorded it, and the song became a standard in jazz and popular music. It was revived in the 1987 and 2011 Anything Goes revivals under the title "You'd Be So Easy to Love". It was also heard in the films Night and Day (1946) and This Time for Keeps (1947).
