From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"From This Moment On" is a 1950 popular song written by Cole Porter, which has since become a jazz standard. It was originally written for the 1950 musical Out of This World, but director George Abbott dropped it from the musical before its Broadway premiere, possibly due to lackluster singing by cast member William Eythe.[1] It was then included in MGM's 1953 film Kiss Me Kate, an adaptation of Porter's stage musical Kiss Me, Kate[2] when it was sung by Ann Miller, Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse and Bobby Van. In theatrical versions of Kiss Me, Kate it goes now as a duet of Harrison Howell and Lilli Vanessi (since the 1999 revival).

Many versions of the song have been recorded, including those by:
