"You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" is a 1930 popular song. The credits list music and lyrics as written by Sammy Fain, [1] Irving Kahal, and Pierre Norman. Since Fain was primarily a music writer and Kahal a lyricist, it may be assumed that the music was by Fain and lyrics were by Kahal, with Norman's contribution uncertain.
The song was introduced in the movie The Big Pond ( 1930) by Maurice Chevalier [1] [2] who also made a successful recording of it the same year. Other hit recordings in 1930 were by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra (with a vocal by Bing Crosby), and the High Hatters. [3]
In Britain, the song was covered by Bob and Alf Pearson. [4]
The song has been used in other movies, including Monkey Business (1931), [2] where the Marx Brothers [2] steal Chevalier's passport and sing this song to try to prove they are Chevalier as they attempt to pass through US Customs. [5] The song is a well-known standard, recorded by many artists, though Chevalier's versions (in English and French) and Frank Sinatra's version are best known.
The song was referenced in the 1963 comedy A New Kind of Love, starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, and featuring Chevalier playing himself.
