The 1937 orchestral pop standard "In the Still of the Night" from the film Rosalie, this song was written by Cole Porter. It is most famous for its deeply romantic, wistful lyrics about a lover gazing from a window, and was originally performed in the movie by Nelson Eddy, my mother's favorite actor. This is another selection from my father's Cole Porter Songbook. I learned to love Cole Porter. "In the Still of the Night" have you heard this song before?

"And I Love You So" is a beautiful song written by folk singer Don McLean. He wrote the classic ballad and first released it on his debut album, Tapestry, in 1970. While McLean penned the original, it became a massive hit and a pop standard for other artists as well—most notably Perry Como, whose 1973 cover reached the top of the charts.
