Love Walked In is a jazz standard composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. The tune was written in 1930, with the lyrics added in 1937 for the movie The Goldwyn Follies (1938), where it was sung by Danny Beecher, also known as Kenny Baker. It gained popularity through several hit recordings, including Sammy Kaye in 1938, The Hilltoppers in 1953, Ella Fitzgerald in 1959 on the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook, Dinah Washington in 1960, The Flamingos in 1959, and Artie Shaw in the early 1940s. It is widely regarded as a jazz standard and show tune, and has been recorded by artists such as Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, with notable album appearances like Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook (1959).
