About This Song
Cole Porter wrote “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” in 1936 for the film musical Born To Dance, where it was introduced by Virginia Bruce. The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to “The Way You Look Tonight.” This song has been recorded many times since it was written. Of particular note are the 1956 Frank Sinatra recording on Songs for Swinging Lovers! and Diana Krall’s live recording in Live In Paris, released in 2002.
